"What is your name?" "McKay Stanislas Anastasius Wilders McKay." "Ah! Stanislas; I understand that. But how is it you were christened Wilders? And Anastasius, too that is a family name, I think. Are you related to Lord Essendine? a Wilders, in fact?" "Yes, sir, by my mother's side." "And yet you have taken the Queen's shilling! Strange! But it is no business of mine. Young scapegrace, I suppose "
Can anyone calculate the power which maintains such a succession through centuries? Here, after four full centuries, in that one belief the seven next successors of St. Leo Hilarus, Simplicius, Felix, Gelasius, Anastasius, Symmachus, and Hormisdas stood as one man. Their counsels did not vary. Their resolve was one. Their course was straight.
The bishop of Arezzo gained a favorable decision from a court constituted of some judices, missi of the emperor, and of the bishops of Florence, Volterra and Siena, Agiprandus, Petrus and Anastasius.
But the attempt and disgrace of the second siege was reserved for his brother Soliman, whose ambition appears to have been quickened by a more active and martial spirit. In the revolutions of the Greek empire, after the tyrant Justinian had been punished and avenged, an humble secretary, Anastasius or Artemius, was promoted by chance or merit to the vacant purple.
Apparently he has no consciousness of what he has done." He lured him to the sofa and sat beside him and began to talk in a low tone of the contents of the papers. Anastasius replied cheerfully, proud at being noticed by the stranger. The papers referred to a precious secret, a gigantic combination, which he had spent years in maturing. I shivered at the sound of his voice, and turned to Lola.
But the waves breaking against its foot had long since carried away the outworks, and laid bare the foundations; the wall was undermined and its fall seemed close at hand. The care of Anastasius, however, surrounded it again with piles and buttresses; and this monument of wisdom and science, which deserved to last for ever, was for a little while longer saved from ruin.
Would it not be charming if Frederick should make our cloister a visit, just as General Count Wallis and his troops entered Camens?" "And you would call that charming?" said Brother Anastasius, with a reproachful look. "Yes, most assuredly; the king would be taken prisoner, and the war would be at an end.
He died at Gangra about 516, and was immediately counted among the saints of the eastern Church. It cost Anastasius fifteen years to depose Macedonius, that is, from 496 to 511, and this was the way he accomplished it.
Lady Roseville was on the other side of my beautiful companion; and I observed that, whenever she took her eyes from Miss Glanville, they always rested upon her brother, who, in the midst of the disputation and the disputants, sat silent, gloomy, and absorbed. The conversation turned upon Scott's novels; thence on novels in general; and finally on the particular one of Anastasius.
On their arrival they were enrolled in the army, and chosen by the Emperor amongst the palace guards, being all three very handsome young men. Afterwards, when Anastasius succeeded to the throne, war broke out with the Isaurians who had rebelled against him. He sent a considerable army against them, under the command of John, surnamed "The Hunchback."
