The same idea has long been helpful to me in a third form in the following lines of Platen "Was stets und aller Orten Sich ewig jung erweist Ist, in gebundenen Worten Ein ungebundener Geist."
Thus it is that one man says to another nowadays, when he has got nothing better to talk about, "Are you a man of intelligence, or do you go to church?" Men of intelligence do not go to church nowadays, Mr. Holland announced in that article of his in the Zeit Geist; many women of intelligence refrain from going, he added, though many beautifully dressed women were still frequent attenders.
"God bless me! You are surely not Ramon?" I exclaimed. "No; I am Geist. It is my turn of duty as your nurse. Can I get you anything?" "Thank you very much; you are all very kind. I feel rather faint, and perhaps if I had something to eat it might do me good." "Certainly. There is some beef-tea ready. Here it is. Shall I feed you?" "Thank you.
"There is no setting aside that fact, my lord." "Alas! that short-sighted policy has been the Church's greatest enemy from the earliest period. You remember what St. Augustine says? Ah, never mind just now. About your book that's the matter before us just now. I must say that I don't consider the present time the most suitable for the issue of that book, or that article in the Zeit Geist.
He's such a big, funny, round head, and positively no neck his head just rolls around on his big, pillowy shoulders and then he gets little right at once, tapers right off to a point with those tiny feet." "It isn't easy to have everything." "It wouldn't be easy to have him, either." Mrs. Van Geist fixed her niece with a sudden look of suspicion.
The breath, which really quits the body at its decease, has furnished the chief name for the soul, not only to the Hebrew, the Sanskrit, and the classic tongues; not only to German and English, where geist, and ghost, according to Max Muller, have the meaning of "breath," and are akin to such words as gas, gust, and geyser; but also to numerous barbaric languages.
Now, considering that Lord Earlscourt had told me the previous day that he was compelled to take to the sea solely on account of the way people were worrying him about me, I think that I did the right thing when I told her that I should be compelled to stay at home until the appearance of a certain paper of mine in the Zeit Geist Review."
"A little Geist and I, and Mees Tomleenson, we relieve each other. But those two don't know much about wounds." "And you do, I suppose?" "Hijo de Dios! Do I know much about wounds? I have nursed men who have been cut to pieces. I have been cut to pieces myself. Look!"
Van Geist, when the tea had been brought by Sandon, "I read in the paper this morning that he'd taken a party to North Carolina for the quail shooting, Eddie Arledge and his wife and that Mr. and Mrs. Garmer, and of course Florence Akemit. Should you have thought she'd marry so soon after her divorce? They say Bishop Doolittle is frightfully vexed with her." "Really I hadn't heard.
Yet the satanically refined egoism which lays hold of Septimius is the same spirit incarnated in Goethe's Mephistopheles, der Geist der stets verneint. To Faust he denies the existence of good in anything, primarily the good of that universal knowledge to the acquisition of which he has devoted his life, but through this scepticism mining his faith in all besides.
