"We adore you," said the Palatine of Gnesna, "and with confidence repose in you all our hopes, as upon him who raises empires and destroys them, and humbles the proud the regenerator of our country, the legislator of the universe." "Already," said the President of the Council of Justice, "already our country is saved, for we adore in your person the most just and the most profound Solon.
Atmosphere, the suggestion of what was not said, was everything; and in an essay in "Le Trésor des Humbles" Maeterlinck told us that in drama, as he conceived it, it was only the words that were not said which mattered. Gradually the words began to mean more in the scheme of the play.
For the soul that knows itself humbles itself, because it sees nothing to be proud of; and ripens the sweet fruit of very ardent charity, recognizing in itself the unmeasured goodness of God; and aware that it is not, it attributes all its being to Him who Is. Whence, then, it seems that the soul is constrained to love what God loves and to hate what He hates.
'Are there many men in my antechambers? he asked Viridus, and hearing that there were more than one hundred and fifty: 'Why, let this wench stay there a half-hour. It humbles a woman to be alone among so many men, and she shall come here without a sound clout to her back for the crush of them.
Human life itself is holy; so are the commonplace duties of the untitled household and factory saints. "God is in all that liberates and lifts, In all that humbles, sweetens, and consoles." Modern monasticism has forsaken the column of St. Simeon Stylites and the rags of St. Francis. It has given up the ancient and fantastic feats of asceticism, and the spiritual extravagances of the early monks.
"Why, you say to yourself, Dom Modeste Gorenflot is rising he is on the ascending scale." "While I am on the descending one, I suppose?" "It is the fault of your false position, M. Briquet." "M. Gorenflot, do you remember the text, 'He who humbles himself, shall be exalted?" "Nonsense!" cried Gorenflot. "Ah! now he doubts the Holy Writ; the heretic!" "Heretic, indeed!
You stood by them like a man; and you true wife and the woman that you are you would have bought him release from torture at cost to yourself of slow starvation and death well, it humbles a body to think what your sex can do when it comes to self-sacrifice. I'll book you both for my colony; you'll like it there; it's a Factory where I'm going to turn groping and grubbing automata into men."
Ernest loves me ten thousand times better than I deserve. He lavishes on me a wealth of love that humbles me with a consciousness of my own demerits. His only fault is loving me too well. Never never breathe before Mrs. Linwood or Edith, before a human being, the sentiment you uttered now. Never repeat the idle gossip you may have heard.
The editor of "Les Humbles" goes on to clear the ground of what he terms "the false literary vanguard," telling the chauvinist writers what he thinks of them. This lettered poilu, a blunt fellow, does not mince matters: "I have come from this war whose praises you are singing I who write.... I have my honourable mention, my war cross: I never wear it.
She saw in either as around only a reciprocation of contempt. She was in a web of profound abasement. Even that haughty grief of conscience for crime committed to another, which if it stings humbles not, was swallowed up in a far more agonizing sensation, to one so vain as the adulteress, the burning sense of shame at having herself, while sinning, been the duped and deceived.
