Nay, worse than that; those very powers and supremacies that he had thought were his protection were they not, also, a part of the Snare? His culture and his artistry, his visions and his exaltations what had they been but a lure for the female? The iris of the burnished dove, the ruff about the grouse's neck, the gold and purple of the butterfly's wing!
"Legally, of course, the Imperial Parliament would be supreme: no one has doubted it. But what layman takes the slightest interest in these paper supremacies? For my part I take no more interest in the question of whether the Imperial Parliament is on paper superior to the Irish Parliament, than I do as to the order of precedence at a London dinner party.
"But don't you think him rather extravagant?" "Oh yes. That is so splendid. I love the extravagance of genius, the barbaric lavishness of moral and intellectual supremacy." "I wonder whether the supremacy of Eustace Lane is moral, or intellectual, or neither?" said Winifred. "There are so many different supremacies, aren't there?
Maspero, in the third volume of his great archæological trilogy, completing his "History of the Ancient Peoples of the Classic East," deals with the passing in succession of the supremacies of the Babylonian, Assyrian, Chaldæan, Medo-Persian and Iranian Empires.
A reckless system of forfeitures and new grants, carried out under the successive supremacies of different interests, had left an inheritance of hopeless confusion, destined to be the lasting curse of Ireland. Twenty years of the bitterness of civil war had ended in a rough and ready settlement under the rule of Cromwell, where the spoils had been ruthlessly handed over to the victors.

They shall see only silver and gold, houses and lands, reputes, supremacies, fames, and, as instrumental to these, the forms of logic and seemings of knowledge.
It is an argument to prove that the world must all be governed by one man; that this one man must be the successor of the Roman Emperor God having manifestly designed the world to be subject for ever to the Roman empire; and lastly, that this Emperor is equally designed by God to be independent of the Pope spiritually subject to him, indeed, but so far only as a good son is subject to the religious advice of his father; and thus making Church and State happy for ever in the two divided supremacies.
TOULON, 10th APRIL, 1756. Will seize Minorca; a so-called inexpugnable Possession of the English, Key of their Mediterranean Supremacies; really inexpugnable enough; but which lies in the usual dilapidated state, though by chance with a courageous old Governor in it, who will not surrender quite at once.
History attests that the martyrs of Jesus denounced these encroachments on the prerogatives of Christ, and the intrinsic power of his church, as "Erastian supremacies, blasphemous supremacies." Most expositors tell us that the blasphemies are chargeable to the Pope or to the Romish church.
So positive and pronounced was this reckoned to be, that such highly enlightened people as the Greeks and Romans maintained it in the palmiest days of their supremacies. Western Europe in primitive times was no exception. Slavery in a more or less fully typical form was widespread.
