The inconceivable nature of such a void is a problem to delight the heart of a medieval Schoolman. Look in the sky to find the moon, not in the pond."-PERSIAN PROVERB. Himalayan herbs were employed in a rejuvenation treatment which aroused the attention of the world in 1938 when the method was used on Pundit Madan Mohan Malaviya, 77-year-old Vice-Chancellor of Benares Hindu University.
But with his mind full of the deep and intricate questions of metaphysics and theology, and his poetical taste always owing allegiance to Vergil, Ovid, and Statius keen and subtle as a schoolman as much an idolater of old heathen art and grandeur as the men of the Renaissance his eye is yet as open to the delicacies of character, to the variety of external nature, to the wonders of the physical world his interest in them as diversified and fresh, his impressions as sharp and distinct, his rendering of them as free and true and forcible, as little weakened or confused by imitation or by conventional words, his language as elastic and as completely under his command, his choice of poetic materials as unrestricted and original, as if he had been born in days which claim as their own such freedom and such keen discriminative sense of what is real in feeling and image as if he had never felt the attractions of a crabbed problem of scholastic logic, or bowed before the mellow grace of the Latins.
Materialism is the native son of Great Britain. Already her schoolman Duns Scotus asked "whether matter could not think?" In order to work this miracle, he took refuge in God's omnipotence, that is, he made theology itself preach materialism. Moreover, he was a nominalist.
Xavier was so much amazed to hear a Bonza reasoning like a schoolman, that turning to Edward de Gama, who was by him, "See," says he softly in Portuguese, that he might not be understood by the Japonians, "see how the devil has sharpened the wit of these his advocates."
The repast over, Hubert, who wished to do all things required of a Christian, but who felt a secret repugnance to listening again to Doctor Schoolman, sounded Winifred's mind on the matter. "Are you going to hear Doctor Schoolman?" he asked. "Why, I suppose so," said she. "What else should one do?" "What is he going to preach about?" he asked evasively. "I don't know.
Therefore I say, sirs, that honor is the foundation of all improvement in mankind." "You have argued like a schoolman, brother," said Mr. Caxton, admiringly; "but still, as to this round piece of silver, don't we go back to the most barbarous ages in estimating so highly such things as have no real value in themselves, as could not give us one opportunity for instructing our minds?"
He wondered if this man had ever seen Him as he had. Oh, if he could only tell him of Him, and turn the misery of those longing eyes into joy! The sermon ended. It was never very long; for Doctor Schoolman well knew that patience, that sits good-naturedly for hours at games or races, or in the seats of a packed theater, has very short limits at church. He never taxed it, nor himself, too far.
The company sang "From Greenland's Icy Mountains," and Doctor Schoolman offered prayer. The Secretary read the minutes of the previous meeting a "Thank-offering meeting" and it was discovered that the sum of $90 had been realized. The ladies exchanged glances of satisfaction at the amount. "Hm-m! Their combined thanks foot up to that," thought Hubert.
For I have it on hand to see my sister, ere confessor, or monk, or schoolman, claim her hours!" "Not so, Harold," said the Earl, briefly. "My daughter is now in her oratory, and we shall have time enow to treat of things mundane ere she is free to receive thee, and to preach to thee of things ghostly, the last miracle at St.
For this reason, too, negative propositions, which are framed for the purpose of correcting false cognitions where error is absolutely impossible, are undoubtedly true, but inane and senseless; that is, they are in reality purposeless and, for this reason, often very ridiculous. Such is the proposition of the schoolman that Alexander could not have subdued any countries without an army.
