Every moment they quoted Schopenhauer, who was their god, and his well-known essay "On Women;" they wished that harems and towers might be reintroduced, and had the ancient maxim: "Mulier, perpetuus infans," woven into their table-linen, and below it, the line of Alfred de Vigny's: La femme, enfant malade et douze fois impure.
"Vivit, et est vitae nescius ipse suae." Ovid. We have now reached the second phase of life; infancy, strictly so-called, is over; for the words infans and puer are not synonymous. The latter includes the former, which means literally "one who cannot speak;" thus Valerius speaks of puerum infantem. When children begin to talk they cry less.
Such observers there are, but they are uncommon; and among a hundred thousand fathers you will not find one such. Puer, child; infans, one who does not speak.
Kirkyard these fifty and more years? We may of her cleverness, not of her affectionateness, her nature. What a picture the animosa infans gives us of herself, her vivacity, her passionateness, her precocious love-making, her passion for nature, for swine, for all living things, her reading, her turn for expression, her satire, her frankness, her little sins and rages, her great repentances.
His words are plain: Quia nunc huc usque ab hoereticis infans in baptismate tertio mergebatur, fiendum apud vos esse non censeo. Why doth Epiphanius, in the end of his books contra haereses, rehearse all the ceremonies of the church, as marks whereby the church is discerned from all other sects? If the church did symbolise in ceremonies with other sects, he could not have done so.
Orat., T. animadverts upon the custom here obliquely censured: nunc natus infans delegatur Graeculae alicui ancillae. In the early ages of Roman History it was not so, see Becker's Gall. Exc. 2. scene 1. Delegantur. Delegamus, quum, quod ipsi facere debebamus, id per alterum fieri curamus. Separet. For the use of the subj. pres. after donec, see note, 1. erumpat. Agnoscat==faciat ut agnoscatur.
From the crest of the road you see all the Border hills, the Maiden Paps, the Eildons cloven in three, the Dunion, the Windburg, and so to the distant Cheviots, and Smailholm Tower, where Scott lay when a child, and clapped his hands at the flashes of the lightning, haud sine Dis animosus infans, like Horace. From the crest of the hill you follow Dr.
Avoid taking too many Precautions. This is the second period of life, and the one at which, properly speaking, infancy ends; for the words infans and puer are not synonymous. The first is included in the second, and means one who cannot speak: thus in Valerius Maximus we find the expression puerum infantem.
American Independence was then and there born. The seeds of patriots and heroes, to defend the Non sine diis animosus infans, to defend the vigorous youth, were then and there sown. Every man of an immense crowded audience appeared to me to go away, as I did, ready to take arms against Writs of Assistance.
The beautiful Brephos infans flies before the snow disappears. "The Gnat, old back-bent fellow, In frugal frieze coat drest," will celebrate the coming of Spring, with his choral dance. Such is Trichocera hyemalis, which may be seen in multitudes towards twilight on mild evenings.
