I only wish there were as few corpse- candles as there are Tylwith Teg, and that they did as little harm." "They foreshow people's deaths, don't they?" said I. "They do, sir; but that's not all the harm they do. They are very dangerous for anybody to meet with. If they come bump up against you when you are walking carelessly it's generally all over with you in this world.
For I think that at present not only men but the immortal gods have all united together to preserve this republic. For if the immortal gods foreshow us the future, by means of portents and prodigies, then it has been openly revealed to us that punishment is near at hand to him, and liberty to us.
"I have never heard of more than one being seen, sir, and that was at a place where a tinker was drowned a few nights after there came down a flood; and the tinker in trying to cross by the usual ford was drowned." "And did the candle prognosticate, I mean foreshow his death?" "It did, sir. When a person is to die his candle is seen a few nights before the time of his death."
If thou doest these no hurt, being heedful of thy return, truly ye may even yet reach Ithaca, albeit in evil case. But if thou hurtest them, I foreshow ruin for thy ship and for thy men, and even though thou shouldest thyself escape, late shalt thou return in evil plight with the loss of all thy company."

I desire thee to suppress naught out of fear, nor shalt thou flatter me with lying words, or with words that please me. Tell me the truth, though it be sad and alarming."

"If we move around very much in this darkness we may become hopelessly lost in the forest," said Dick. "Maybe we had better stay right where we are until morning," suggested his youngest brother.
If the auguries of the prophesying heart shall make themselves good in time, the man who shall be born, whose advent men and events prepare and foreshow, is one who shall enjoy his connection with a higher life, with the man within man; shall destroy distrust by his trust, shall use his native but forgotten methods, shall not take counsel of flesh and blood, but shall rely on the Law alive and beautiful which works over our heads and under our feet.
Franklin Pierce's development, indeed, has always been the reverse of premature; the boy did not show the germ of all that was in the man, nor, perhaps, did the young man adequately foreshow the mature one. In 1820, at the age of sixteen, he became a student of Bowdoin College, at Brunswick, Maine.
