Neither it nor another work from the same translator, On the motion of the heart, which sought to establish the primacy of that organ on Aristotelian grounds, can be said to contain any of the spirit of the master. The early European translations from the Arabic are tabulated with unparalleled learning by M. Steinschneider, 'Die Europäischen Uebersetzungen aus dem Arabischen bis Mitte des 17.
Reiterated cries of 'Bis'! and clapping of hands, were followed by such a burst of enthusiasm that many of the audience added their voices to those of the actors in order to celebrate, it might too truly be said, another Iphigenia. The Queen, deeply affected, covered her eyes with her handkerchief; and this proof of sensibility raised the public enthusiasm to a still higher pitch.
The principal façade, 2 bis Quai des Célestins, has unhappily been irretrievably spoilt by subsequent additions. Continuing westward, we note No. 32, the site of the Tour Barbeau of the Philip Augustus wall. An inscription bids us remember that there stood the old Tennis Court of the Croix Noire, where Molière's troupe of the Illustre Théâtre performed in 1645.
Conventional, dogged clapping and shouts of "Bis! Bis!" were relied on to bring the curtain up again, and relied on in vain. Once more Mrs. Ruttle-Marter was surrounded and beseeched to use her best efforts. As she acceded, a servant handed Lewis a scribbled note. "Come and take me out of this. Vi," he read. He slipped out behind the servant. In the cab they were silent for a long time.
They embraced the solution, and, no matter what I write now, I must remain a philosophical writer as long as I live, for the alphabet will hardly be altered in my time, and I must be something between "Bis" and "Poe."
Before they would lazily rise and make up their minds to decamp, the Arabs of his escort had to ride forward shouting and shaking their lances. The restoration will be found in the plate numbered 37 bis. Discoveries, &c., pp. 348-357, 359-362; and Monuments, &c., second series, plate 5. This is now in the British Museum.
A feeling of noble pride awoke within him for an instant, and he coldly withdrew his arm from the banker's hand. "You are only a usurer, after all," he added. The banker pocketed the affront with a smile, and tried to smooth the matter over with a jest. "The Latin proverb says, 'Bis dat qui cito dat 'He gives twice who gives quickly. Why should I not wish to double my money?
Oh, everything was against me!" she moaned. "But how did you get here?" he still demanded. She did not answer his question. Instead, she asked him: "Where did you send the Paris letters?" "To 11 bis avenue Beaucourt." She groaned a little, impatiently. "That was foolish I wrote you that I was leaving there that I had to go!" "Not a line reached me!"
He told her that he had seen only too little of Ida at The Knoll, but enough to know that she was his 'Schicksal'; and then he took the Fraeulein's hand and pressed it gently. 'I know you are our friend, he said. 'Bis den Tod, gasped Gertrude. After this no one felt any more restraint. The Fraeulein dropped into her place of confidante as easily as possible.
"You've lost your soul," they told him. "And now you haven't even success." But later, when he took up his pen again, he gave us two masterpieces in Esther and Athalie. Rossini was accustomed to success and it was hard for him to run into a half-hearted success when he knew he had surpassed himself. This was doubtless due to the extravagant phraseology of Hippolyte Bis, one of the librettists.
