Quite a minute had passed before she said: "If he propounds such views without having a firm conviction that they are true, he has acted a contemptible part, Lady Earlscourt. I think far too highly of him to entertain for a single moment the idea that he is not sincere." "But if you believe that he is sincere, why should you say that you will not marry him?"
The French and Italians know nothing of the two first at least, their best poets have not practised them. As for the pauses, Malherbe first brought them into France within this last century, and we see how they adorn their Alexandrines. But as Virgil propounds a riddle which he leaves unsolved "Dic quibus in terris, inscripti nomina regum Nascantur flores, et Phyllida solus habeto"
Its power consists in its special and surprising message and in the bias which that revelation gives to life. The vistas it opens and the mysteries propounds are another world to live in; and another world to live in whether we expect ever to pass wholly into it or no is what we mean by having a religion.
She plays with him and propounds riddles to him which he cannot solve, and he feels his blood congealing in the process, but it amuses her. During the sitting she nibbles at candies, and rolls the paper- wrappers into little pellets with which she bombards him. "I am glad you are in such good humor," said the painter, "but your face has lost the expression which I need for my picture."
This small pamphlet it is scarcely more than a flysheet hardly amounts to saying that Atheism is irrefragably true, and Theism therefore false; but it propounds that the existence of a God cannot be proved by reason, nor yet by testimony; that a direct revelation made to an individual would alone be adequate ground for convincing that individual; and that the persons to whom such a revelation is not accorded are in consequence warranted in remaining unconvinced.
What, then, were his notions of true "sentiment" in literature? We have seen elsewhere that he repeats it would appear unconsciously and commends the canon which Horace propounds to the tragic poet in the words: "Si vis me flere, dolendum Primum ipsi tibi: tunc tua me infortunia laedent."
The sentiment to which I have referred propounds that State sovereignty is only to be controlled by its own "feeling of justice"; that is to say, it is not to be controlled at all, for one who is to follow his own feelings is under no legal control. Now, however men may think this ought to be, the fact is, that the people of the United States have chosen to impose control on State sovereignties.
Even these do not suffice, for he also adopts Comte's "profound aphorism" that "Atheism is the most irrational form of metaphysics," and proves this by a fresh definition involved in the charge that "it propounds as the solution of an insoluble enigma the hypothesis which of all others is the least capable of proof, the least simple, the least plausible, and the least useful."
The Republic is an enlargement of the lessons of the Politikus without the dialectic discussion. The postulate of the One Wise man is repeated in KRATYLUS, on the unpromising subject of Language or the invention of Names. The PHILEBUS has a decidedly ethical character. It propounds for enquiry the Good, the Summum Bonum.
Cineas propounds questions to Pyrrhus. Pyrrhus explains his designs and plans. The opinion of Cineas on the subject. Pyrrhus sets sail. His fleet and army. Pyrrhus narrowly escapes death by shipwreck. He establishes himself at Tarentum. His energy. Pyrrhus adopts very decisive measures. The Tarentines were Greeks in origin. Troops come in slowly. Lævinus. Pyrrhus sees a Roman encampment.
