I wish, too, that the great company of story-tellers would let scenery rest in peace. The charm of a landscape is entireness, unity; it strikes the eye at once and as a whole.

I bet they whip those bally Germans until they don't know where they are " "Steady on!" said Harry, smiling, but a little concerned, none the less. "Dick, don't talk that! You don't know who may be listening!" "Why, Harry! No one can hear us we're alone in the carriage!" "I know, but we don't know who's in the next one or whether they ean hear through or not. The wall isn't very thick, you know.

He made bring Lancelot before him into the midst of the hall, that was somewhat made ean of his being in prison, but he bore him as he wont, nor might none look at him to whom he seemed not to be good knight. "Lancelot," saith the King, "How is it with you?" "Sir," saith he, "It hath been ill with me long time, but, please God, it shall be better hereafter."

"I knew you before; you have been the most faithful of friends and nurses. I knew you quite well, and I knew her too!" Gaston bounded from his chair, breathing so hard that he could scarcely stammer out, "Her! who o o om do you me e ean?" "Madeleine," replied Maurice, confidently. "Mademoiselle Mad ad adeleine; you are dream eaming!" "No!

It would be well if you were to look over, with respect to this matter, the end of the second, and what interests you of the third, book of Plato's Republic; noting therein these two principal things, of which I have to speak in this and my next lecture: first, the power which Plato so frankly, and quite justly, attributes to art, of falsifying our conceptions of Deity: which power he by fatal error partly implies may be used wisely for good, and that the feigning is only wrong when it is of evil, "+ean tis kalôs pseudêtai+;" and you may trace through all that follows the beginning of the change of Greek ideal art into a beautiful expediency, instead of what it was in the days of Pindar, the statement of what "could not be otherwise than so."

Laegaire, son of the king of Connacht, was out one day with the king his father near Loch na-n Ean, the Lake of Birds, and the men of Connacht with them, and they saw a man coming to them through the mist.

Aulus Gellius, xvii, 6, speech of Cato: Principio vobis mulier magnam dotem adtulit; tum magnam pecuniam recipit, quam in viri potestatem non committit, ean pecuniam viro mutuam dat; postea, ubi irata facta est, servum recepticum sectari atque flagitare virum iubet. Paulus in Dig., 23, 3, 2. Pomponius in Dig., 24, 3, 1. Ulpian in Dig., 23, 3, 7. Tryfoninus in Dig., 23, 3, 75. Gaius, ii, 63.

What you see is a desert mirage. There isn't a lake within a hundred miles of us." Hippy Wingate brought his pony to a slow stop, and Emma, who had heard, stopped about the same time. "Mirage?" wondered Hippy stupidly. "M m mister Lang, do do you me ean that wha at we see isn't wa ater at all?" "It's a mirage, I tell you. Get back to your positions!"

And they rose up early on the morning of the morrow and went to Inis Gluarie, and all the birds of the country gathered near them on Loch na-n Ean, the Lake of the Birds.

But the mention of Newton suggests to me the single specimen of human kind who might stand even before him: and reminds me that Shakspeare was as sound as any mortal ean be. Any defect in him extends no farther than to his taste: and possibly where we should differ from him, he is right and we are wrong. You could not say that Shakspeare was mentally a screw.
