Do not make it a kind of half-human, half-divine institution, which you may build up but cannot regulate." These doctrines from those of Frances Wright to those of Mrs. Stanton and Miss Anthony were put forth in the name of social purity and true marriage. A great body of Suffragists never have accepted them. They were repugnant, in this form, to a majority who were demanding "equal rights."
The Saints were all at once driven from heaven; and senses, thought and heart were turned from a divine mother with a tender child, to the grown man doing good and suffering evil, who was later transfigured into a being half-divine in its nature, and then recognized and honored as God himself.
This much, however, is clear, that there existed, at the time the poem was composed, various northern legends of Beowa, a half-divine hero, and the monster Grendel. The latter has been interpreted in various ways, sometimes as a bear, and again as the malaria of the marsh lands.
Pope made it the subject of his Ode on St. Cecilia's Day; but if Pluto and Proserpine really relented at the doggerel that the English poet puts into the mouth of the half-divine minstrel, they cannot deserve the title of illacrymabiles which Horace gives them. Darwin; chiefly remembered for Mr. STRAWBERRY HILL, Wednesday night, July 15, 1789.
There was once more a touch in his manner of that half-divine authority which had thrilled the great multitudes of his believers. De Grost was forced to admit defeat. "Not defeat," he said to himself, as he followed the man to the lift; "only a check." Nevertheless, it was a serious check. He could not for the moment see his way farther.
Although too late to save the others, even through the mist he had seen that wisp of smoke rising from the hold; yes, he, the experienced, had smelt a rat, and, warned by some half-divine intuition, had kept his distance with the result that he was still alive. But the others! Those gallant comrades in adventure, where were they? Well, to be frank, he did not greatly care.
They called her a goddess, and in truth, at times, she believed that she was half-divine, but if so, why did her heart ache like that of any common maid? Moreover, was she really set above the misfortunes of her race? Could a throne, however bright with gold, lift her above the sorrows of human kind? She desired to learn the truth, the very truth.
He did not know whether to admire the little heroine as half-divine, or to turn from her as half-crazy. Probably, had the strange little spirit possessed a different frame, the latter was the sentiment which would have influenced the unimaginative mind of Edward Rider.
Moreover, his mind was now entirely possessed by the haunting vision of Lysia a vision half-human, half-divine a beautiful, magical, irresistible Sweetness that allured his soul, and roused within him a wordless passion of infinite desire.
To accept the Gracchi was an article of faith impressed on the proudest noble and the most bigoted optimate by the clamorous crowd which he addressed. The man who aped them might be pronounced an impostor or a traitor; the men he aped belonged almost to the distant world of the half-divine.
