Since in God there is no pleasure that is not good, what difference can there be between the good pleasure and the will of God? The will of God never tends but towards goodness." We then went back to the second part of the Latin distich: Tu nocte vel atra, lumen: my light in blackest gloom.
'Tu mihi curarum requies, tu nocte vel atrâ Lumen, et in solis tu mihi turba locis. But while this is true of all marriages, it is obvious that different professions and circumstances of life will demand different qualities.
By a good luck, on which every one congratulated himself, the weather in the morning ceased its gloomy look, and a merchant of the Rue Saint Denis inscribed on his balcony these two celebrated lines, "Nocte pluit tota, redeunt spectacula mane, Divisum imperium cum Jove Caesar habet." At 1 P.M. a salvo of one hundred and one guns announced the arrival of the monarch at the barrier of La Villette.
Thus many a nameless battle was fought on the trackless Steppe, and many brave men fell unhonoured and unsung: "Illacrymabiles Urgentur ignotique longa Nocte, carent quia vate sacro." Notwithstanding these valuable services, the Cossack communities were a constant source of diplomatic difficulties and political dangers.
Supposing that the Media Nocte were the dangerous society which you erroneously imagine it to be, need this be a ground for me to intrench myself timidly against it and flee its touch? No; just for that very reason would I seek it out advance to meet it with the determination to do battle with it. But I tell you that you are mistaken in your premises!
Apud plurimas tribus juventutem utriusque sexus sine discrimine concumbere in usus est. Si juvenis forte indigenorum coetum quendam in castris manentem adveniat ubi quaevis sit puella innupta, mos est; nocte veniente et cubantibus omnibus, illam ex loco exsurgere et juvenem accedentem cum illo per noctem manere unde in sedem propriam ante diem redit.
Tota nocte laborantes.... The Romans have, indeed, prayed. They have given signal proof of their fidelity and their piety, amid the gloom and trouble of our national catastrophes, and why have they, as yet, obtained nothing? But what do I say? Are those evidences of affection which every day reach the Holy See to be reputed as nothing?
Ovid accordingly notices, as one amongst the familiar images of daybreak, the half-burnt torch of the traveller; and, apparently, from the position which it holds in his description, where it is ranked with the most familiar of all circumstances in all countries, that of the rural laborer going out to his morning tasks, it must have been common indeed: "Semiustamque facem vigilata nocte viator Ponet; et ad solitum rusticus ibit opus."
Such is a brief statement of the vexations and cruelties which long oppressed this unfortunate city. Napoleon accused Hamburg of Anglomania, and by ruining her he thought to ruin England. Hamburg, feeble and bereft of her sources, could only complain, like Jerusalem when besieged by Titus: "Plorans, plorcatrit in nocte."
The Media Nocte is no monster, no Scylla and Charybdis, and we need not on her account have our arms bound, as cunning Ulysses did, which, by the way, always seemed to me very weak and womanly. A man must go to meet danger with a bold eye, with valiant spirit; he must confront it with his freedom of will and strength, and not seek to defend himself from it by outward means of resistance.
