N. B. Longinus is not in my London catalogue, but is here, I know, I think in a box in the lumber-room. Set right the calculation I leave on the poor-rates. I have made a blunder somewhere, etc. Certainly my father knew Mr. Trevanion; he never expected a secretary to sleep! To get through the work required of me by half-past nine, I get up by candle-light.
But if, according to Longinus, the sublime, being the highest excellence that human composition can attain to, abundantly compensates the absence of every other beauty, and atones for all other deficiencies, then Michael Angelo demands the preference.
Philosophy of Alexandria; Neo- Platonism. 5. Anti-Neo-Platonic Tendencies; Epictetus; Lucian; Longinus. 6. Greek Literature in Rome; Dionysius of Halicarnassus; Flavius Josephus; Polybius; Diodorus; Strabo; Plutarch. 7. Continued Decline of Greek Literature. 8. Last Echoes of the Old Literature; Hypatia; Nonnus; Musaeus; Byzantine Literature. 9. The New Testament and the Greek Fathers.
At half-past nine I am still hunting for Longinus, when Mr. Trevanion comes in with a bundle of letters. Answers to half the said letters fall to my share. Directions verbal, in a species of short-hand talk. While I write, Mr.
Cicero answered that he thought as much, and therefore preferred to stay away. Caesar let him take his own course, and went on by himself. The consuls being absent, the Senate was convened by the tribunes, Mark Antony and Cassius Longinus, both officers in Caesar's army. The house was thin, but those present were cold and hostile. They knew by this time that they need fear no violence.
To this end, having prepared poisoned wine, she with her own hand presented it to Helmichis, who complained of thirst as he came from the bath. Having drunk half of it, he suspected the truth, from the unusual sensation it occasioned and compelled her to drink the remainder; so that in a few hours both came to their end, and Longinus was deprived of the hope of becoming king.
He crossed the little river Rubicon, which bounded his province, and advanced to Rimini, where he met the tribunes, Antony, Cassius Longinus, and Curio, who were coming to him from Rome. At Rimini the troops were again assembled. Curio told them what had passed. Caesar added a few more words.
The unfortunate Longinus turned with contemptuous pity from the trembling Zenobia; the valiant Thomas Aquinas hurled his protesting firebrand against the too charming interruption of his scholastic pursuits; the redoubtable Conqueror beat his rebellious sweetheart into matrimony.
The chosen friend of Hormisdas, and whose friendship he had not forfeited by his flight no one could so well as he advocate her cause with the new king. 'But how is it, inquired Longinus, 'that you obtain foreign intelligence, the city thus beset? 'It may well be asked, replied Calpurnius.
At one extremity of this era of transition is Longinus, at the other St. Augustine. We must beware of casting a disdainful eye upon that epoch wherein all that has since borne fruit was contained in germs; upon that epoch whose least eminent writers, if we may be pardoned a vulgar but expressive phrase, made fertilizer for the harvest that was to follow.
