Blake dignified with the name of his study. It was a small apartment with one window, the panes of which, independent of all aid from a curtain, tempered the daylight through the medium of cobwebs, dust, and the ill-trained branches of some wall-tree without. Three oak chairs and a small table were the only articles of furniture, while around, on all sides, lay the disjecta membra of Mr.
The sculpture for which Aragazzi spent his thousands of crowns, which Donatello touched with his immortalising chisel, over which the contractors vented their curses and Bruni eased his bile; these marbles are now visible as mere disjecta membra in a church which, lacking them, has little to detain a traveller's haste.
The "Man made of Money" will outlast his best play. His most popular drama, "Black-eyed Susan," though clever, pretty, and tender, is not, as a work of art, worthy of his genius; nor did he consider it so himself. In his dramas we find, I think, rather touches of character, than characters, scenes, rather than plots, disjecta membra of dramatic genius, rather than harmonious creations of it.
"After him his scoundrelly cousin Francis; and then a stronger than Von Stroebel might easily fail to hold the disjecta membra of the Empire together." "But there are shadows on the screen," remarked Judge Claiborne. "There was Karl the mad prince." "Humph! There was some red blood in him; but he was impossible; he had a taint of democracy, treason, rebellion." Judge Claiborne laughed.
There is just now as wide a divorce between poetry and the commonsense of all time, as there is between poetry and modern knowledge. Our poets are not merely vague and confused, they are altogether fragmentary disjecta membra poetarum; they need some uniting idea. And what idea? Our answer will probably be greeted with a laugh. Nevertheless we answer simply. What our poets want is faith.
Would it not be a crime against the future to draggle your wings with sordid cares, to sink to lower aims by refusing this Heaven-sent boon?" The thought clung to him. He rose and laid out heaps of muddled manuscript opera disjecta and turned their pages. "Yes yes give us life!" they seemed to cry to him. "We are dead drops of ink, wake us to life and beauty.
The first deals with the Five Races that invaded or colonized Ireland: Partholanians, Nemedians, Firbolgs, Gods, and Irish; in all of it I suspect the faint memories and membra disjecta of old, old manvantaras: indeed, the summing up of the history of created man. You will have noted that the number of the races, as in Theosophic teaching, is five.
The friar muttered a paternoster for once, perchance, devoutly, and after having again deliberately scanned the disjecta membra of the Eureka, gravely took forth a duck's egg from his cupboard, and applied the master-agent of the machine which Warner hoped was to change the face of the globe to the only practical utility it possessed to the mountebank's comprehension.
