The pater's got an idea into his head that young fellows ought to see something of foreign parts, and store their minds with the beauties of Nature in her grandest I forget what anyhow, we backed him up; and Jim and I are to start abroad on our own hooks on Friday. How's that for luck?
"Don't look so astonished. It's the advice he gave to Archie Windebank." "I see: and he told you. But the pater's right over that." "How do you know?" "That's telling." Later in the afternoon, at tea, Mavis learned from Perigal much of his life since they had last met.
He pointed at Shelley's rooms as at a certificated angel's feather, but Mr. Wrenn writhingly admitted that he had never heard of Shelley, whose name he confused with Max O'Rell's, which Dr. Mittyford deemed an error. Then, Pater's window. The doctor shrugged. Oh well, what could you expect of the proletariat!
"That explains why, when I went off my head, I said I wasn't the Pater's son, and why I crystallized my annoyance with Violet into hatred of you." There was a long silence. Marcella was learning things rapidly. "Then, when everything outside goes well, we shall be happy, but if the tiniest thing upsets or annoys you I shall have to suffer?" she said calmly.
Now I claimed that Jack Dempsey would take one He wouldn't have a ULSA: Then I love you again. MR. ICKY: So I'm going to lose my little daughter... ULSA: You've still got a houseful of children, I'm going to sea! CHARLES: I've been reading "Conrad." "Two Years Before the Mast," by Henry James. CHARLES: What? PETER: Walter Pater's version of "Robinson Crusoe." I want to live my life.
Bell, quoting Pater's famous quotation from Heraclitus, makes so much, is, after all, only the rush of the wind through the garments of the World Denier, as he plunges into Eternity. Like St.
The Ambarvalia is one of the most picturesque of the field ceremonies, and a peculiarly beautiful and imaginative description of it may be found in the first chapter of Pater's Marius the Epicurean. In June and July the farmer was waiting for the completion of the harvest, and the great state-festivals of the period are not agricultural.
If only he could get rid of drudgery, and write his best about the things he loves. Nobody knows what a mind he has. He is not only a scholar he is a poet. He could write things as beautiful as Mr. Pater's, but his life is ground out of him. "I won't go on writing this it's no good. "Herbert Pryce came down yesterday, and has taken mother and Alice out boating to-day.
Indeed, it was Pater's book that first suggested to me the idea of the book I am writing. But perhaps you do not know I am writing a book.... Did my mother tell you anything about it?" "Yes; she told me you were writing the history of Christian Latin."
Without going further than Mr. Pater's book, "Marius, the Epicurean," and his account of Apuleius, an English reader may learn what kind of style a learned African of that date found not too simple. But Cicero, rather than Apuleius, was Augustine's ideal; that verbose and sonorous eloquence captivated him, as it did the early scholars when learning revived.
