This dish had been "composed" by Miss Deborah many years ago, and was considered by all her friends her greatest triumph. Dr. Howe had christened it, declaring that it was of a semi-religious nature, but in Miss Deborah's pronunciation the Latin was no longer recognizable. It consisted of an arrangement of strips of candied orange and lemon peel, intended to represent a nest of straw.
As for the earthly part of his love, it was so strong that it might well stand alone, even if the other should disappear altogether. Then came honour, and the semi-religious morality of the man, defending the woman against him, for the sake of the angel he saw through her. Chief of all, in her defence, stood his own conviction that she did not love him, and never would, nor ever could.
Some day we shall try it, but that day will not come till we have realised how futile, how expensive our present methods are. The Poor Law system needs recasting. Charity must be divorced from religion. Philanthropic and semi-religious organisations must be separated from their commercial instincts and commercial greed.
For my part, I think there is little foundation for the theory that it is part of a semi-religious rite, on the analogy of the Freemasons' special handshake and the like. Nor do I altogether agree with the authorities who allege that man, when standing up, needs something as a prop or support.
In the monasteries there were, besides regular monks, novices or those who aspired to take the full monastic vows, and, especially in the fifteenth century, by which time the importance of lowly, arduous service for the brethren and personal labour had lapsed, a very large number of semi-religious and lay brethren, who were really servants to the regular monks.
We people who are near to literature have no conception how far from it most people are. The immense majority of 'homes, as the newspapers call them, have no books in them except the Bible and a semi-religious volume or two things you never see out of such 'homes' and the State business directory. I was astonished when it came out that she knew about Every Other Week.
The impression made by the great work was the deeper because of the unusual circumstances: the theatre specially constructed after Wagner's novel plan; the amphitheatric seats; the concealed orchestra; the stereoscopic clearness and nearness of the stage scenes, etc. When, however, his last work, the sublime, semi-religious "Parsifal," was produced in 1882, there was a balance in his favor.
'Excellency, he murmured, bowing on the threshold; 'Reverendo, with one step forward and a respectful semi-religious inclination of the head towards Concha; 'Senorita! The ceremony here concluded with a profound obeisance to Estella full of gallantry and grave admiration.
This spring, and during the past winter, the rousing, Salvation Army variety of hymn was greatly in vogue. The opening chorus for the concert was of this kind, a stirring sort of semi-religious song, called "The King's Highway."
While our artists confess it almost a vain hope to rival the cameo brooch that fastened the scanty garment of the Argive charioteer, or the statue spattered with the foam of his horses and shrouded in the dust of his furious wheel while they are content to be teachable, moreover, by the exquisite embroidery and lacework in gold and cotton thread displayed at another semi-religious and similarly ancient reunion at Benares, they claim the alliance and support of many classes of craftsmen unrepresented on the Ganges or Ilissus.
