Bishop Grantly died as he had lived, peaceably, slowly, without pain and without excitement. The breath ebbed from him almost imperceptibly, and for a month before his death it was a question whether he were alive or dead. A trying time was this for the archdeacon, for whom was designed the reversion of his father's see by those who then had the giving away of episcopal thrones.
And yet, would to God! would to God! this was all the pollution it has suffered! Christina. Darest thou, Oxenstiern, impute any blemish to my honour? Oxenstiern. Madam, the world will scarce respect the frailties of queens when they are on their thrones, much less when they have voluntarily degraded themselves to the level of the vulgar.
The navigator returned. The kings were seated upon their thrones; nothing seemed to have taken place in his absence, and yet God had deprived those kings of a hundred days of their reign. But nothing was changed for France in 1642, the epoch to which we turn, except her fears and her hopes. The future alone had changed its aspect.
On the other side there is a blend of two quite different aims: first, the desire to promote revolution in the Western nations, which is in line with Communist theory, and is also thought to be the only way of obtaining a really secure peace; secondly, the desire for Asiatic dominion, which is probably accompanied in the minds of some with dreams of sapphires and rubies and golden thrones and all the glories of their forefather Solomon.
That any nation should put her honor before her comfort and profit, had never occurred to the war leaders of Germany. Diplomacy and Kingly Ambition Turkey throws in her lot with the central empires. The demands of Italy. She joins the Triple Entente. The retreat of the Russians. The Balkans again. Bulgaria's bargaining. German princes on Balkan thrones.
If Jesus wanders in the ways of the city to comfort those who have forgotten the sun, in the woods the gods are still upon their holy thrones, and their love constraineth us. Immortal and beloved, how should they pass away, for, beside their secret places, of old we have hushed our voices, and children have played with them no less than with Jesus of Nazareth.
As we approached, all these men, including the priests, rose and bowed to us with the greatest courtesy, at the same time placing the two fingers across the lips in salutation. Then soft-footed attendants advanced from between the pillars, bearing seats, which were placed in a line in front of the thrones. We three sat down, Alphonse and Umslopogaas standing behind us.
They said she was Lotys! ha ha! Lotys, the Revolutionary sybil! Lotys, the Socialist! but that could not be, Lotys is as great an enemy of kings as I am!" "And an enemy of the Church as well!" said Del Fortis harshly "Between the Church and Socialism, all Thrones stand on a cracking earth, devoured by fire! But make no mistake about it! the woman was Lotys!
How vast they are how densely populated how glorious are their destinies how all-powerful and wise are their inhabitants! They possess everlasting health and beauty their movements are music their glances are light they cannot err in their laws or judgments, for their existence is love. Thrones, principalities, and powers are among them, yet all are equal.
Let Abraham Lincoln make himself, as I trust he will, the Emancipator, the Liberator, as he has the opportunity of doing, and his name shall not only be enrolled in this Earthly Temple, but it will be traced on the living stones of that Temple which rears itself amid the Thrones and Hierarchies of Heaven, whose top-stone is to be brought in with shouting of 'Grace, grace unto it!"
