He pictures the death of a saint and he works upon her fears by impressing upon her the terrors of hell. His last recorded words to her are these: "I question not, Heloise, but you will hereafter apply yourself in good earnest to the business of your salvation; this ought to be your whole concern.
She lives with her daughter while they are in the country it seems the custom here, these huge family parties living together all the summer. The young people have their appartement in the Champs Elysées in Paris, and the old ones go to the family hotel in the Faubourg St. Germain. Héloise and the Comtesse de Tournelle are great friends.
Richard Baxter was no impassioned Abelard; his pupil in the school of his severe and self-denying piety was no Heloise; but what their union lacked in romantic interest was compensated by its purity and disinterestedness, and its sanction by all that can hallow human passion, and harmonize the love of the created with the love and service of the Creator.
Some day, wandering about the muddy streets, when daily material joys shall have failed, you will find yourself seated disconsolately on a deserted bench at midnight. O men of marble! sublime egoists, inimitable reasoners, who have never given way to despair or made a mistake in arithmetic, if this ever happens to you, at the hour of your ruin you will remember Abelard when he lost Heloise.
It is very easy to point out that the Control Social is a miserable piece of logic-chopping, to pour scorn on the stilted sentiment and distorted morality of La Nouvelle Héloïse, and finally to draw a cutting comparison between Rousseau's preaching and his practice, as it stands revealed in the Confessions the lover of independence who never earned his own living, the apostle of equality who was a snob, and the educationist who left his children in the Foundling Hospital.
"Good mother," exclaimed Amelie, throwing her arms around the nun, who folded her tenderly to her bosom, although her face remained calm and passionless, "we are come at last! Heloise and I wish to live and die in the monastery. Good Mother Esther, will you take us in?" "Welcome both!" replied Mere Esther, kissing each of them on the forehead.
This banishes them from a place here not by any means because their being monks prevented their having love affairs, but because it greatly prevented a record of most of them though happily not all. Abélard, for instance, was a monk, and his Héloise became a nun, and their love letters are among the most precious possessions in literature.
The Chapel of Saints was held in reverence as the most sacred place in the monastery. It contained the shrines and relics of many saints and martyrs. The devout nuns lavished upon it their choicest works of embroidery, painting, and gilding, in the arts of which they were eminent. The old Sacristaine was kneeling before the altar as Amelie and Heloise entered the Chapel.
"A drowning man," said Heloise. "Ah, sir, hearts like yours are only found in a theatre. May God bless you!" "To what account shall I post this item?" asked the cashier. "I will countersign the order. Post it to the bonus account." Before La Cibot went out, she made Mlle.
As far as form goes, there is no author living who would put together such a hodge-podge as Wilhelm Meister, or La Nouvelle Heloise. But they all imitate each other; they are all mild and tame; there is no real power, no genius among them. They have even forgotten it exists. I came across this, for instance, the other day in a book of Mr.
