"Whilst those earth-born creatures do not surpass a degree of perfection which, by beauty of form, has been attained by Antinoues and by Madame de Parabere, and at which they alone have arrived by the faculty known to Democritus and myself; the beings formed by fire enjoy a wisdom and an intelligence of which we cannot possibly conceive the limit.
Foolish, then, is it to ask for pictures like children; let us be satisfied to know with the reason, which we alone of all earth-born creatures possess, that the body is not we but ours, and that we are not mere ephemerals, but are "going on and still to be".
And seizing the staff with his right hand, he raised it and made the sign of the cross above their heads. Then turning and facing the warriors, he raised the staff on high once more and cried in a loud voice: "Tewana, earth-born Children of the Sun, salute your Chieftains!" A mighty shout went up from the entire multitude.
In this mountain there dwelt one of the earth-born primeval men of that country, whose name was Evenor, and he had a wife named Leucippe, and they had an only daughter who was called Cleito.
When Nature has done with it, and delivers it to us in its perfection, we forget all the lesser fruits which have gone before it. If the flavor of the peach and the fragrance of the rose are not found in some fruit and flower which grow by the side of the river of life, an earth-born spirit might be forgiven for missing them.
IF I could not venture to place upon paper the exact words of an eloquent coveter of fame, the earth-born, still less can I dare to place upon paper all that passed through the voiceless heart of a coveter of love, the heaven-born.
She didn't know how it would be, but it was quite plain the old Squire could never be told anything about it, for Hetty was ready to faint with awe and fright if she came across him at the Chase. He might have been earth-born, for what she knew. It had never entered her mind that he had been young like other men; he had always been the old Squire at whom everybody was frightened.
That foreigner wanders to regions afar, Where the lands of her birthright immortally are! So long as man dreams that, to mortals a gift, The truth in her fulness of splendor will shine; The veil of the goddess no earth-born may lift, And all we can learn is to guess and divine! Dost thou seek, in a dogma, to prison her form? The spirit flies forth on the wings of the storm!
Akin they were, yet not as thus it seemed, For he of VALOUR was the eldest son, From Areté in happy union sprung. But her to Phronis Eusebeia bore, She whom her mother Dicé sent to earth; What marvel then if thus their features wore Resemblant lineaments of kindred birth? Dicé being child of Him who rules above, VALOUR his earth-born son; so both derived from Jove. p. 29.
Go seek thine earth-born sisters, thus the Voice That all obey, the sad and silent three; These only, while the hosts of heaven rejoice, Smile never: ask them what their sorrows be: And when the secret of their griefs they tell, Look on them with thy mild, half-human eyes; Say what thou wast on earth; thou knowest well; So shall they cease from unavailing sighs.
