I felt very small, sitting at a tiny table, with tables on every side of me, stretching away as it were into the Ewigkeit, in a vast white room with mural paintings of the crassest school of impressionism. I ordered a good, substantial breakfast and whiled away the time while it was coming by glancing at the morning paper which the waiter brought me.
Next day the ordinary course of things was resumed at the Gezireh Palace Hotel, and the delights and flirtations of the fancy-ball began to vanish into what Hans Breitmann calls "the ewigkeit". Men were lazier than usual and came down later to breakfast, and girls looked worn and haggard with over-much dancing, but otherwise there was no sign to indicate that the festivity of the past evening had left "tracks behind," or made a lasting impression of importance on any human life.
A snorting pony snatched him into "Ewigkeit" in the twinkling of an eye, and I never saw him again; and, what's more, I don't know of anybody that ever had a glimpse of him after he departed from my knowledge sitting inside a ramshackle little gharry that fled round the corner in a white smother of dust.
Steingall darted a quick glance to his questioner. "I have a stupid trick of adopting phrases from my pet authors," he said. "Does Ewigkeit mean eternity?" "Yes." "Well, then, I withdraw it." "Try Niflheim." "Or Rüdesheim," suggested Devar wickedly. Steingall laughed. Despite his German-sounding name, he spoke French fluently, but German not at all. "They're off the map," he said.
That living flood, pouring through these streets, of all qualities and ages, knowest thou whence it is coming, whither it is going? Aus der Ewigkeit, zu der Ewigkeit hin: From Eternity, onwards to Eternity! These are Apparitions: what else? Are they not Souls rendered visible: in Bodies, that took shape and will lose it, melting into air?
At the first sound of these words, apparently launched at me from out the Ewigkeit, I spun round on my bare heels in the loamy sand of the track, with a moving picture thought in my mind of little gnomes in pointed caps and leathern jerkins, with diminutive miner's picks in their hands, and a fancy for the occasional bestowal of magical gifts upon wandering mortals.
I wish Hans Breitmann and his "Avay in die Ewigkeit" did not come in, like a ludicrous, lugubrious burden, to all one's reminiscences of places and people one knew upward of fifty years ago. I have been accused of having acquired a bad habit of punning from Shakespeare! a delightful idea, that made me laugh till I cried the first time it was suggested to me.
He's quite capable of taking the hint, and removing himself into the Ewigkeit, when the clue to as pretty a mystery as ever I came across will have vanished. 'I can stay, I said. 'You? Alone? He eyed me doubtingly, evidently not altogether relishing the proposition. 'Why not? You might send the first person you meet, policeman, cabman, or whoever it is to keep me company.
Geflugelt eilt mit uns die zeit In eine lange ewigkeit." Hartwick Seminary and Dr. Hazelius. In 1754 Hartwick purchased 21,500 acres of land in Otsego Co., N. Y., which he endeavored to colonize with a Lutheran congregation.
"And on you, too," she admitted. "What were you thinking how did you propose to phrase it?" "I?" he asked apprehensively. "To be quite frank. I haven't got as far as that. Never wrote to the papers in my life," he added pusillanimously. "But I can't," argued Jeannette. Her determination of two hours ago had vanished into the Ewigkeit. Chilminster had an inspiration.
