It would have been less cruel to slay him at once. "Oh! leave me at least water water!" exclaimed the poor victim of malice and hatred. "We'll leave you nothing but your own worthless drugs, hakeem! take that!" cried Sadi, as he flung at Yusef's head a tin case containing a few of his medicines.
And then I sketched to her the way that Sadi had found me, and nursed me, and been with me in all those groping after years, paying full tribute to his devotion. When I had finished she said she wanted to ask me one question, if she might do so without offence. "Nothing you would say," I replied, "can annoy me." "Then tell me, Mr. Pether, were you a registered diamond merchant out there?" "I was.
There seem to be more from Emerson than from any other American poet, which again is as it should be. Those from the great names of antiquity the Bible, Sadi, Cicero, Æschylus, Euripides, Aristotle, and others are all worth while, and the quotations from Bacon, Newton, Addison, Locke, Chaucer, Johnson, Carlyle, Huxley, Tennyson, Goethe are welcome.
But then, in 1824, a French philosopher, Sadi Carnot, caught step with the great Englishmen, and took a long leap ahead by explicitly stating his belief that a definite quantity of work could be transformed into a definite quantity of heat, no more, no less.
I do not know whether it is fair for one to pass an opinion on a man from a sight of his face overrun with rain-water, and with his nose acting like a shoot from a roof; but certainly the impression produced on me by M. Sadi Carnot was that his features were wooden, and that he was but a very ordinary man intellectually. I pass this opinion with hesitation.
English being his native tongue, Pether had naturally lost no word of the discussion over Weems's manuscript, and directly the little schoolmaster and myself had left the caffè he had beckoned his servant Sadi, who was within call, and had gone off on his arm towards the harbour. There he threw money about right and left, and the information he wanted was given glibly.
At last, perceiving that all was lost, he turned his face again toward the desert, and, for two days and nights, continued his flight. But his heart was behind him. Certain of escape himself, he preferred hopeless captivity with her he loved, and he returned." "Quite poetical, on my word! Worthy of Sadi, the Arab Petrarch, himself!" said Château-Renaud.
The names of Young, Rumford, Davy, are often quoted among those physicists who, at the commencement of the nineteenth century, caught sight of the new truths as to the nature of heat. To these names is very properly added that of Sadi Carnot.
Yusef had defended the cause of a widow whom Sadi had tried to defraud; and Sadi's dishonesty being found out, he had been punished with stripes, which he had but too well deserved. Therefore did he seek to ruin the man who had brought just punishment on him, therefore he resolved to destroy Yusef by inducing his Arab comrades to leave him to die in the desert.
Asadulla Khan's profile always reminded me of an Inca idol that I once got in Peru. Among his scribes were several men of culture who discoursed most sagely on Persian literature; on Sadi and Hafiz, both of whom they held to be superior to Omar Khayyam.
