He entered with the medicine. Simms sent him for a wine glass and when it arrived he poured out a dose. "Now take a dose of your medicine like a man," said the kindly physician, jocularly, "and another in four hours' time, it will re-make your nerves." Jones tossed the stuff off impatiently. "Say," said he, "there's another point I've forgot.
Thus the life that has lasted many days goes out with a brief pang, and in its going gives new vigor to the strong that have yet many days to live. Thus also does the ever-living earth from the dust of dead generations of leaves re-make a fresh foliage, and for herself a new garment.
All her exaltation was gone, and in its stead was a sort of dogged determination to see the thing through now, at any cost; to re-make Louis into the man he could be, to build her own house of life, and having built it, to live in it as best she could. "That is a condition I cannot fulfill, mother. I am engaged to him." "Then you love him more than you do any of us, or all of us." "I don't know.
But then, sand was the prevailing note of this free and easy life: it bestrewed verandah and floors; you carried it in your clothes; the beds were full of it; it even got into the food; and you were soon so accustomed to its presence that you missed the grit of it under foot, or the prickling on your skin, did old Anne happen to take a broom in her hand, or thoroughly re-make the beds.
For the next chapter in his history was to be the campaign of the Somme including the first great offensive of France in the war, which, together with the Verdun defense, forced the Germans not only again to re-make their calculations, but to withdraw to the Hindenburg line. Honors were beginning to crowd upon him as the debt of France and of her allies to his genius began to be realized.
Meanwhile I hasten to re-make acquaintance with my mother-country over files of the "Times," "Post," "Chronicle," and "Herald." Nothing comes amiss to me but articles on Australia; from those I turn aside with the true pshaw supercilious of your practical man. No more are leaders filled with praise and blame of Trevanion. "Percy's spur is cold."
It was good to listen to this sincere, naïve man, still young ... who would re-make life nearer to the beauty and harmony that Shelley also dreamed for mankind. I lived in a state of perpetual reverence toward Baxter. This man tried to live his ideals, as well as write about them. In matters of diet I accepted Baxter's theories but, humanly, did not live up to them. He was a vegetarian.
"Yet the mob often wins, not only by excess of numbers, but by sheer force of honesty!" said Bernhoff sententiously; "It has been known to sweep away, and re-make political constitutions before now." "It has," agreed Perousse, drawing pens and paper towards him, and feigning to be busily occupied in the commencement of a letter "But it will not indulge itself in such amusements during my time!"
They were taught to believe that political instinct was the ability to misrepresent in a convincing way the actions and arguments of your opponents and to profit by their mistakes not that it is a mighty impulse which can re-make nations.
The perfection of their kind, but that kind not perfectly legitimate, they take a language not perfectly legitimate; as if to show, that when mankind's Semitic age is once passed, the age which produced the great incomparable monuments of the pure religious sentiment, the books of Job and Isaiah, the Psalms, works truly to be called inspired, because the same divine power which worked in those who produced them works no longer, as if to show us, that, after this primitive age, we Indo-Europeans must feel these works without attempting to re-make them; and that our poetry, if it tries to make itself simply the organ of the religious sentiment, leaves the true course, and must conceal this by not speaking a living language.
