It flashes up in a bright flame, is soon extinguished, and a small, almost imperceptible quantity of ashes floats from it to the feet of the pope. "Sic transit gloria mundi!" "Sic transit gloria mundi!" repeated Albani, in a yet louder and more thundering voice. The bells ring, the hymn resounds, the trombone and organ clang; the audience are on their knees in prayer.
'He did again call us together, says the next deposition, 'and lamentably mourning for the dissolving the said houses, he enjoined us to sing "Salvator mundi, salva nos omnes," every day after lauds; and we murmured at it, and were not content to sing it for such cause; and so we did omit it divers days, for which the abbot came unto the chapter, and did in manner rebuke us, and said we were bound to obey his commandment by our profession, and so did command us to sing it again with the versicle "Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered.
Was London a place of any importance? London! Why should anybody pitch on such a spot to live? The nearest houses are at a place called Strand-on-the-Green: it is very old. Come. THE ELDERLY GENTLEMAN. Sic transit gloria mundi! A courtyard before the columned portico of a temple. The temple door is in the middle of the portico.
Still she looked at him, and again there seemed to be in her eyes that expression of a child who has seen life without understanding it. "Perhaps you think I am too young to know good from evil," she said after a moment. "I am not. I have told you I am older than I look, and in some things I am older even than my years. Then, too, I belong to Rosa Mundi.
Obscured, in some degree, by acquaintance with 'the idols of Egypt, and restricted and localised by the very national sentiment which they fostered, these conceptions were purified and widened far beyond any local, tribal, or national restrictions widened far as the flammantia moenia mundi by the historically unique genius of the Prophets.
But who are these callers? The first was John Baptist, which not only called with his mouth, but also shewed with his finger that meat which God had prepared for the whole world. He saith, Ecce Agnus Dei qui tollit peccata mundi; "Lo, the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sins of the world."
On September 15, last, Costabili was caught with a bomb in his hand, and he is now doing a three-year bit up the river. Sic transit gloria mundi! The Italian criminal and his American offspring have a sincere contempt for American criminal law. They are used by experience or tradition to arbitrary police methods and prosecutions unhampered by Anglo-Saxon rules of evidence.
They were told that the war was ended, that Caesar was dead, and that the portraits of Wellington and of Blucher were suspended in the ante-chambers of the consulates and the embassies, with this legend beneath: 'Salvatoribus mundi'. Then came upon a world in ruins an anxious youth. The children were drops of burning blood which had inundated the earth; they were born in the bosom of war, for war.
From Henry the Fowler's capture of Brannibor, count seventy years, we find Henry's great-grandson reigning as Elective Kaiser, Otto III., last of the direct "Saxon Kaisers," Otto Wonder of the World; and alongside of Otto's great transactions, which were once called MIRABILIA MUNDI and are now fallen so extinct, there is the following small transaction, a new attempt to preach in Preussen, going on, which, contrariwise, is still worth taking notice of.
It is astonishing how little I look into a book of entertainment. I have been reading over the Five Nights of St. Albans, very much extra mœnia nostri mundi, and possessed of considerable merit, though the author loves to play at cherry-pit with Satan. June 11. I was kept at Court by a hearing till near three. Then sat to Mr. Graham for an hour and a half.
