"Lux eterna lucet ei," he said with a steady smile; "atque lucebit," he added after a pause. He had been painting that day an agonising Christ, red and languid, crowned with thorns. Some of his own torment seems to have entered it, for, looking at it now, we see, first of all, wild eyeballs staring with the mad earnestness, the purposeless intensity of one seized or "possessed."

Yet I was born where men are proud to be, Not without cause: and should I leave behind Th'immortal island of the sage and free, And seek me out a home by a remoter sea? "Some of the epitaphs at Ferrara pleased me more than the more splendid monuments of Bologna; for instance 'Martini Luigi Implora pace. 'Lucrezia Picini Implora eterna quiete." Can anything be more full of pathos?

By them, the man with my voice and my eyes and a ghostwoman with ashes on her breath. They clasped and sundered, did the coupler's will. From before the ages He willed me and now may not will me away or ever. A lex eterna stays about Him. Is that then the divine substance wherein Father and Son are consubstantial? Where is poor dear Arius to try conclusions?

"Una stretta di Mano!" "Mando un bacio!" "Amicizia eterna!" and other expressions of friendship and affection, scribbled in awkward handwritings across and around them.

These were the two lines in which that glory of the sublime, so stirring to my childish sense, seemed to burn as in some mighty pharos: "Aesopo statuam ingentem posuere Attici; Servumque collocarunt eterna in basi:" A colossal statue did the Athenians raise to Aesop; and a poor pariah slave they planted upon an everlasting pedestal.

Whenever I come here, I find myself repeating our sonnet: 'Siccome eterna vita e veder dio; for the sight of it suggests eternity and infinite power."

Principes mortales, respublica eterna! Now the Corporal loved this creature better, yes better than any thing in the world, except travelling and board-wages; and he was sorely perplexed in his mind how he should be able to dispose of her safely in his absence.

The passage in Phaedrus differs thus far from that in "Macbeth," that the first line, simply stating a matter of fact, with no more of sentiment than belongs to the word ingentem, and to the antithesis between the two parties so enormously divided, Aesop the slave and the Athenians, must be read as an appoggiatura, or hurried note of introduction flying forward as if on wings to descend with the fury and weight of a thousand orchestras upon the immortal passion of the second line "Servumque collocarunt ETERNA IN BASI." This passage from Phaedrus, which might be briefly designated The Apotheosis of the Slave, gave to me my first grand and jubilant sense of the moral sublime.

La luna immobile innonda l'etere d'un raggio pallido. Callido balsamo stillan le ramora dai cespi roridi; Doridi e silfidi, cigni e nereidi vagan sul l'alighi. Faust addresses Helen in rhyme, the discovery of the Romantic poets: Forma ideal purissima Della bellezza eterna!

Principes mortales, respublica eterna! Now the Corporal loved this creature better, yes better than any thing in the world, except travelling and board-wages; and he was sorely perplexed in his mind how he should be able to dispose of her safely in his absence.
