But whether Ezra read it all, while the Levites named in verse 7 explained or paraphrased or translated it, or whether they all read in turns, or whether there were a number of groups, each of which had a teacher who both read and expounded, is hard to determine. At all events, Ezra was the principal figure, and began the reading. It was a picturesque scene.
It was a lecture on free love, full of talk about manners, propriety, good taste, nobility, beauty, truth, modesty, morality, a regular Berquin for young girls who wanted to go wrong. It was, for the moment, the Gospel in which Colette's little court rejoiced, while they paraphrased it.
The smartness, the fine epithets, the recondite conceits, the bits of effect, are beyond all praise; but as for one spark of life, of poetry, of real belief, you will find none; not even in that famous Lavacrum Palladis which Angelo Poliziano thought worth translating into Latin elegiacs, about the same time that the learned Florentine, Antonio Maria Salviano, found Berenice's Hair worthy to be paraphrased back from Catullus' Latin into Greek, to give the world some faint notion of the inestimable and incomparable original.
Those three years ended, the fellowship, it may be, won, still books, books, if the whole world does not close at the college gates. Do I, from scholar, effloresce into literary man, author by profession? Do I go into the law? Ars longa, vita brevis, which, paraphrased, means that it is slow work before one fags one's way to a brief! Do I turn doctor?
This seems crude when stated with archaic frankness but becomes plausible if paraphrased in modern language as "discontinuous variation and the spontaneous origin of definite species."
"You may have been deceived," paraphrased Lewisham. "I can assure you ... others can see, hear, feel. I have tested, sir. Tested! I have some scientific training and I have employed tests. Scientific and exhaustive tests! Every possible way. I ask you, sir have you given the spirits a chance?" "It is only paying guineas to humbugs," said Smithers. "There you are! Prejudice!
I mean just this: They don't always shipwreck their own lives." Was that, Kenny would like to know, an essential of successful parenthood? "I mean," he paraphrased dryly, "must you wreck your own life, John, to parent somebody else with skill?" The wording of this rather pleased him. He brightened visibly. Whitaker ignored his brazen air of assurance.
If it were not such a tiresome task, it could be shown from actual quotations that there is not a paper published in Canada that at some time during the year does not deliver itself of sentiments regarding the United States which may be paraphrased thus: "We thank God we are not as Thou art!" It does not turn the soul-searchings in on self.
Everything is lawful, is that it?” Ivan scowled, and all at once turned strangely pale. “Ah, you’ve caught up yesterday’s phrase, which so offended Miüsov—and which Dmitri pounced upon so naïvely, and paraphrased!” he smiled queerly. “Yes, if you like, ‘everything is lawful’ since the word has been said. I won’t deny it. And Mitya’s version isn’t bad.” Alyosha looked at him in silence.
As in FitzGerald's poem there is talk of the False Dawn or Wolf's Tail, "Thee and Me," Pot and Potter, and here and there are couplets which are simply FitzGerald's quatrains paraphrased as, for example, the one in which Heaven and Hell are declared to be mere tools of "the Wily Fetisheer."
