They began during the life-time of Quintilian, in the second century, and it continued to be the deliberate policy of Augustus, Vespasian and Hadrian to multiply and extend the influence of endowed schools in Rome and provincial towns. Their object, says Merivale, was to "restore the tone of society and infuse into the national mind healthier sentiments."
Yes, he had offered them everything and always with the same result. Ten years of it ten years of dogged work and unrelieved failure. The ten years from forty to fifty the best ten years of his life! And if one counted the years before, the silent years of dreams, assimilation, preparation then call it half a man's life-time: half a man's life-time thrown away!
Alas! he knew not that vengeance, so long delayed, must fall at last in his life-time; he knew not that it takes longer to restore that whose growth has been through age and age, than the few years of a life-time; yet was the reality good, if not as good as the dream.
A mere abstract of the contents of these wonderful books would fill many pages, and prove as uninteresting and unsuggestive as abstracts must always be; and a commentary upon the same, honestly executed, would make a heavy draft on the working life-time of an industrious student.
I must have battled through this veritable inferno of vegetation for at least an hour though it seemed a life-time.
There are full years, and there are years of famine, just as there come moments to all that seem like a life-time, and lives that hurry themselves away in a passing of the pendulum. It is of no use to shake the hour-glass; yet, when we are counting upon time, the sands hurry down like snow-flakes. It was true, as Violet had foreboded, that Harry missed Ernest.
Only the other day the concert opened, and already the performers are uneasy to be gone. They have crowded so much into so brief a space! The passion of a life-time into the quarter of a year! They are impatient to be gone, I say; but who knows how many of them are gone already?
Caritat for a list of my several works, in order to publish a collection of them. This is an undertaking I have always reserved for myself. If he neglects it in his life-time the case is altered. It is my intention to return to America in the course of the present year.
He had lain out in the brush for a long time that morning to watch the head groom of Red Springs put the horse through his paces in the training paddock. And watching jealously, Drew had realized that Shiloh was one of those mounts that a man discovers only once in his life-time, though he may breed and love their kind all his years.
And what if my ancestor at that date was some Damoetas feeding flocks, not his own, upon the hills of Lincoln did I in less earnest vindicate to myself the family trappings of this once proud Ægon? repaying by a backward triumph the insults he might possibly have heaped in his life-time upon my poor pastoral progenitor.
