Lovelace is very charming, but he sings "The sweetness, mercy, majesty, And glories of his King," to wit, Charles I. To him "stone walls do not a prison make," so long as he has "freedom in his love, and in his soul is free." Prynne's King was of another and higher kind: "Carcer excludit mundum, includit Deum.
And never mind talking to me up here, Henderson; it can't be pleasant for you, I know, when all the other fellows are cutting me." "Pooh! Walter. They're in the wrong box; not you and I. `Athanasius contra mundum, as Power says. Do go in for the prize." Walter shook his head gloomily. "I don't like to, before all these fellows. They'd hiss me or something."
In the "History of Ethics Within Organized Christianity" is recorded, "The Church, as such, never contemplated doing away with slavery as such, even though Stoicism had denounced it as 'Contra Mundum. Nowhere does the early Church condemn slavery as an institution.
"Dandæus, dandæus verbum erat," says his Riv'rence, O, the dear man, but it's himself that was handy ever and always at getting out ov a hobble, "dandæus verbum erat," says he, "quod dicturus eram, cum me intherpillavisti." "Ast ego dico," says the Pope very sharp, "quod verbum erat dandy." "Per tibicinem qui coram Mose modulatus est," says his Riv'rence, "id flagellat mundum!
The keenest desire of his condemned souls is that they may be remembered and talked of here on earth, and this is the chief solace that lightens the darkness of his Inferno. What more? Even of that holy man, seemingly the most indifferent to worldly vanity, the Poor Little One of Assisi, it is related in the Legenda Trium Sociorum that he said: Adhuc adorabor per totum mundum!
Howells as an exponent of Americanism in literature, we have left him in an attitude almost of Americanus contra mundum at any rate in the posture of one who is so entirely absorbed by his delight in the contemporary and national existence around him as to be partially blind to claims separated from him by tracts of time and space.
In Chorosaym schalle Antecrist be born, as sum men seyn; and other men seyn, he schalle be born in Babyloyne: for the prophete seyth; De Babilonia Coluber exiet, qui totum mundum devorabit; that is to seyne, Out of Babiloyne schal come a worm, that schal devouren alle the world.
Numbers govern the world mundum regunt numeri. This proverb applies as aptly to the moral and political, as to the sidereal and molecular, world. The elements of justice are identical with those of algebra; legislation and government are simply the arts of classifying and balancing powers; all jurisprudence falls within the rules of arithmetic.
Tritum est in scholis, he says, esse hominem minorem mundum, in quo mixtum ex elementis corpus et spiritus coelestis et plantarum anima vegetalis et brutorum sensus et ratio et angelica mens et Dei similitudo conspicitur.
"Who are these bogeys whose machinations are going to arrest the course of justice in a comparatively civilized country? You've told me yourself that Monsieur de Malrive is the least likely to give you trouble; and the others are his uncle the abbe, his mother and sister. That kind of a syndicate doesn't scare me much. A priest and two women contra mundum!" She shook her head.
