He was displeased, however, that anything should be written upon himself, except in a grave manner, and by men of the most eminent abilities: and he enjoined the praetors not to suffer his name to be made too common in the contests amongst orators and poets in the theatres. XC. We have the following account of him respecting his belief in omens and such like.
Kora was delighted to find a wife so soon, and readily agreed to work for five years in his father-in-law's house to win his bride: so a day was fixed for the betrothal ceremony, and thus Kora succeeded in arranging his own marriage. XC. The Lazy Man.
More than a century ago, in 1804, in Letter XC of that series that constitutes the immense monody of his Obermann, Sénancour wrote the words which I have put at the head of this chapter and of all the spiritual descendants of the patriarchal Rousseau, Sénancour was the most profound and the most intense; of all the men of heart and feeling that France has produced, not excluding Pascal, he was the most tragic.
XC. That his own secret agent, Major Palmer, did receive a salary or allowance, equal to 22,800l. a year, out of the distressed province of Oude; and this the said Palmer did declare not to be more than he absolutely did really and bonâ fide spend, and that he had retrenched considerably "in some of the articles since the expense has been borne by the Vizier, and in every particular he made as little parade and appearance as his station would admit," his station being that of the said Warren Hastings's private agent.
We spend our years as a tale that is told. Psalm xc.9. We bring our years to an end like a thought, is the proper rendering of these words, according, to an eminent translator. But as the essential idea of the Psalmist is preserved in the common version, I employ it as peculiarly illustrative and forcible.
The clerical members of the conference met separately at the rectory, where they showed more circumspection, but an equally partisan bias. Bp. Stubbs works all this out, Chron. Ed. I. and II., ii., pref., lxxxvi.-xc. The conferences at Pontefract and Sherburn showed that Lancaster and the northerners were in full sympathy with the men of the west.
Eso que llaman derecho penal, y que es todo menos derecho. The Autocrat of the Breakfast-table. L'homme est périssable. II se peut; mais périssons en résistant, et, si le néant nous est reservé, ne faisons pas que ce soit une justice. SÉNANCOUR: Obermann, lettre xc.
Or rather, the toil is its own reward, if pursued in the lofty spirit which alone becomes it. For it leads through the abysses of space and the unending vistas of time to the very threshold of that infinity and eternity of which the disclosure is reserved for a life to come. The tube was thereby enabled to be shortened by twice the focal length of the mirror in question. Trans., vol. xc., p. 70.
There were twelve very large old trees, and their boughs met at the top, and kept off the heat of the sun. These trees might be compared to holy men, grown old in the service of God: for this is God's promise to his servants, "The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon." Psalm xc. 11, 12. This is the capital of Syria.
The knight carries a shield, on which fire and water are sculptured, and bears a banner upon his lance, with the word "DEFEROSUM," which puzzled me for some time. It should be read, I believe, "De ferro sum;" which would be good Venetian Latin for "I am of iron." SECTION XC. Fourth side. The Sun, in his house Leo.
