It was the first time such a thing had been possible, for all the world was at last at peace, so that the Temple of Janus was closed for the third and last time in Roman history. There was a feeling all over the world that a great Deliverer and peaceful Prince was to be expected at this time.
"With perfect calmness, but impressively like your organ-music," said the commander, laughing. "Who began the fight? You, young sir? or the others?" Nicolas, in his excitement, shame, and indignation, could find no coherent words, but Adrian came forward saying: "We wrestled together. Don't be too much vexed with us, Herr Janus." Nicolas cast a friendly glance at his foe.
Your Janus character has hitherto breathed only war war; but, my young friend, I earnestly invoke its peaceful phase." The kindness of tone and evident sincerity of manner might have disarmed a prejudice better founded than hers; but wrath consumed all scruples, and, recollecting his forbearance with various former acts of rudeness, she presumed to attempt further aggressions.
But the view mentioned by Varro that Janus was the god of the sky is supported not only by the etymological identity of his name with that of the sky-god Jupiter, but also by the relation in which he appears to have stood to Jupiter's two mates, Juno and Juturna.
Hark, the cock crows, and yon bright star Tells us, the day himself's not far; And see where, breaking from the night, He gilds the western hills with light. With him old Janus doth appear, Peeping into the future year, With such a look as seems to say, The prospect is not good that way.
One of the letters were addressed to the magistrates, the other to Janus Dousa; they sounded confident and hopeful, and the Prince, the faithful shield of liberty, the friend and guide of the people, had recovered from his sickness and visited the vessels and troops intended for the relief of Leyden. Rescue was so near, but the north-east wind would not change, and the water did not rise.
On the north side was the Comitium, an open space for holding the Comitia Curiata and heavy lawsuits, and making speeches to the assembled people. During the kingly government the temples of Janus and Vesta and Saturn were erected, also the Curia Hostilia, a senate-house, the Senaculum, the Mamertine Prison, and the Tabernae or porticoes and shops inclosing the Forum.
The fort was taken, and so was San Juan itself; and though the grass did not grow under our feet, it was soon growing over the heads of numbers of the fine fellows who composed the expedition both redcoats and seamen; and though our captain, receiving notice of his appointment to another ship, the `Janus, sailed away immediately, we lost the greater number of our people by sickness.
For me my Teucrians shall establish a city, and Lavinia give the town her name. Thus Aeneas first: thereon Latinus thus follows: 'By these same I swear, O Aeneas, by Earth, Sea, Sky, and the twin brood of Latona and Janus the double-facing, and the might of nether gods and grim Pluto's shrine; this let our Father hear, who seals treaties with his thunderbolt.
"No, dear lady, we shall then stand on one of the higher steps. After hours of long, deep thought, Socrates perceived do you know what?" "That he knew nothing at all. I shall arrive at this perception more speedily." "And the Christian learns it at school," said Barbara, to join in the conversation. "All knowledge is botchwork." "And we are all sinners," added Janus.
