"Mundus decipit, Count," they told him, "is the old pious motto of Poictesme: it signifies that the affairs of this world are a vain fleeting show, and that terrestrial appearances are nowhere of any particular importance." "Then your motto is green inexperience," said Manuel, "and for me to bear it would be black ingratitude."
During that time I can smoke a cigar, and arrange my plans. But stop, and here a cold sweat broke out upon him, and a livid paleness overspread his features, 'what did Mundus say about the notes? He refuses them! Strange, strange, indeed! The remainder will be published in the New York Humdrum; the week after next number of which was issued week before last.
He entered, simply saying to the footman who lifted him in, 'To Mundus; and shortly the vehicle stopped before the most palatial mansion in the entire extent of the Fifth Avenue. I pause a moment before I attempt the portraiture of the young wife of Mundus. The boudoir where she sat was draped with the fairest pinks of the Saxony loom, and the carpet confessed an original Axminster workmanship.
Mundus can never follow us there, the boats are so dangerous. 'But, Bella mia' said Roseton, in the soft accent of Italy, 'as the eminent but slightly impractical Hungarian I refer to Kossuth said, Staten Island "is lovely, but exposed." We should not be safe there.
It was money he would not accept. "Fiat justitia pereat mundus," said the haggard Hohenzollern. "Your world may perish," replied Jeannin, "but not ours. It is much better put together." This letter was committed to the care of Hohenzollern, who forthwith departed, having received a present of 4000 crowns. His fierce, haggard face thus vanishes for the present from our history.
If, said Luther, we diligently mark the world and the course thereof, we shall find that it is governed merely by weenings or conceits, Mundus regitur opinionibus. Therefore sophistry, hypocrisy, and tyranny do rule and have the government in the world. The upright, pure, and clear Divine Word must be their handmaid, and be by them controlled; this the world will have.
Were all damned who died during the period when 'totus fere mundus factus est Arianus', as one of the Fathers admits? Ib. p. 26. All Christians must confess, that there is no other name given under heaven whereby men can be saved, but only the name of Christ.
A trench was dug in a circle round what is now the Comitium, and into it were flung first-fruits of all those things which are honourable and necessary for men. Finally each man brought a little of the earth of the country from which he came, and flung it into one heap and mixed it all together. They call this pit by the same name as the heavens, Mundus.
"Ista civitas est Corpus Humanum: quinque portae sunt quinque Sensus: Palatium est Anima rationalis, et aureum pomum Similitudo cum Deo. Tria regna inimica sunt Caro, Mundus, Diabolus, et eius imago Cupiditas, Voluptas, Superbia." The above is a good instance both of the supernatural powers attributed to the poet, and the supernatural interpretation put upon his supposed exercise of them.
The division of objects into phenomena and noumena, and of the world into a mundus sensibilis and intelligibilis is therefore quite inadmissible in a positive sense, although conceptions do certainly admit of such a division; for the class of noumena have no determinate object corresponding to them, and cannot therefore possess objective validity.
