AUGUSTA. It grieves me to hear you talk in this way. I knew you were pleasure loving, I thought I saw certain tendencies in you, yet you seemed to realize the grace of religion when you were in my Bible class. Your brother Jamesy took to drink MINNIE. And I took to religion. You meant to be kind, Mrs. Pindar, and I thank you.
MINNIE. But if he's so poor, how's he going to live? He can't afford to hire me to help him. AUGUSTA. I don't know. Dr. Pindar was about to leave in search of you. MINNIE. I was afraid of that when he ought to be going to New York to test the discovery at the hospitals there. He meant to. AUGUSTA. You must see him. MINNIE. Oh, I'll see him now.
Pindar was of a noble family, of the house of the Aigeidai, and it is probable that his kinsmen, or some of them, may have taken the side of oligarchy in the often recurring dissensions at Thebes, but of this we know nothing certain. He himself seems to have taken no part in politics. When he speaks on the subject in his odes it is not with the voice of a partisan.
Let us believe with Pindar, that All human bodies yield to Death's decree, The soul survives to all eternity.
Memnon, King of Ethiopia, according to Hesiod and Pindar, is regarded by 'Eschylus as the son of a Cissian woman, and by Herodotus and others as the founder of Susa. He leads an army of combined Susianians and Ethiopians to the assistance of Priam, his father's brother, and, after greatly distinguishing himself, perishes in one of the battles before Troy.
Butler lived, perhaps died, in Rose-street, and was buried in Covent-garden Churchyard; where Peter Pindar the other day followed him. In Leicester-square, on the site of Miss Linwood's exhibition and other houses, was the town mansion of the Sydneys, Earls of Leicester, and the family of Sir Philip and Algernon Sydney. In the same square lived Sir Joshua Reynolds.
Like Cephalus, he is limited in his point of view, and represents the proverbial stage of morality which has rules of life rather than principles; and he quotes Simonides as his father had quoted Pindar. But after this he has no more to say; the answers which he makes are only elicited from him by the dialectic of Socrates.
You'll tell her? TIMOTHY. I'll tell her. AUGUSTA. How are you getting along, Bert? BERT. Very well, thank you, Mrs. Pindar. MAID. Miss Thorpe wishes to speak with you, ma'am. It's about the wool for the Red Cross. Hello, Bert, how goes it? BERT. All right, thank you, lieutenant. GEORGE. Oh, cut out the title. He wears a brown flannel shirt and a blue four-in-hand tie, and a good ready-made suit.
Great scholars and thinkers of old, such as Horace, Homer, Pindar, Tasso, and all the glorious line, dreamt of flight, but it has been left for the present century to see those dreams fulfilled.
Gomer Chephoraod was so popular that the clay of all the plains round the Euphrates could scarcely furnish brick-kilns enough for his eulogists. It is recorded in particular that Pharonezzar, the Assyrian Pindar, published a bridge and four walls in his praise. One day the king was going in state from his palace to the temple of Belus.
