He went down the mountain; at its base he found his followers sleeping amid their camels. He aroused Fakredeen, and told him that he had received the word which would bind together the warring nations of Arabia and Palestine, and reshape the earth. IV. The Mystic Queen
They turn and twist them so well that they become, one after another, a spinning-top, a boat, a wine-glass, a half-moon, a cap, a basket, a fish, a whip, a dagger, a baby, and a man's head. This is an exact image of the despotism with which you ought to shape and reshape your wife.
"For this bright thieving beauty is not any longer yours. It is mine now, to do with as I may elect as yesterday it was the plaything of Demetrios.... Why, no! I think I shall not kill you. I have at hand three very cunning Cheylas the men who carve and reshape children into such droll monsters. They cannot change your eyes, they tell me. That is a pity, but I can have one plucked out.
That is, he becomes a "singer" as well as "maker," while we, conscious though we may be of the capacity for intense feeling, cannot embody our feelings in the forms of verse. We may indeed go so far as to reshape mental images in our heated brains for all men do this under excitement, but to sing what we have thus made is denied to us.
What would you have? there are fourteen centuries of monarchical atavism in our blood. Legislating always, politicians never realise that as institutions are effects, and not causes, they have no virtue in themselves. Heirs to the great revolutionary illusion, they do not see that man is created by a past whose foundations we are powerless to reshape.
That the business of the politician is not to reshape theories, but to readjust conditions he was ready to admit, yet impelled by a strong religious conviction, by a belief in the determining power of a practical Christianity, he was sharing the slowly expanding dream of his century the dream of a poverty enriched by knowledge, of a social regeneration that would follow an enlightened and instructed proletariat.
Scepticism about Foreign Offices, as they are at present conducted, is justified. But scepticism about the power of public opinion, if it can be aroused and instructed, to reshape Foreign Office policies means hopelessness about the future of the world.
Russia is a country easy to get into, but hard to get out of, and military success against its armies there would in verity be a victory without glory, annexation, indemnities, or other appreciable gains. It is hard to believe that the distinguished statesmen of the Conference took these eventualities fully into account before attempting to reshape amorphous Russia after their own vague ideal.
"Of course you will; but you must reshape them so as to take me with you." "That's impossible," I replied. "But would you go?" "Would I go? Of course. I should like the fun of it. Here, you must go and tell the chief you feel as if you can't curry out the business properly unless you have my help." I looked at him, laughing. "I say, who's cracked now?" I said.
Each State, county, and city needs to examine its capacity for government in today's world, as we are examining ours in the executive department, and as I see you are examining yours. Some will need to reorganize and reshape their methods of administration as we are doing. Others will need to revise their constitutions and their laws to bring them up to date as we are doing.
