And then, to the tune of a Strauss waltz, played passionately by tone artists in oleaginous dress suits, down goes the Spatenbräu gurgle, gurgle burble, burble down goes the Spatenbräu exquisite, ineffable! to drench the heart in its nut brown flood and fill the arteries with its benign alkaloids and antitoxins. Well, well, maybe I grow too eloquent! Such memories loose and craze the tongue.
In the neighbourhood of Bloemfontein, Reddersburg, and Dewetsdorp, and at every other place where it was possible, his troops had made prisoners of burghers who had remained quietly on their farms. The same course of action had been pursued by the column which fell into our hands at Mostertshoek I myself had liberated David Strauss and four other citizens whom I had found there.
When gay Vienna began its waltzing craze in the last century, it waltzed to the charming melodies of Lanner in a rhythm which did not demand more than about one hundred and sixty movements in a minute; but soon came Johann Strauss the father, and the average waltzing rhythm was two hundred and thirty a minute, and finally the king of the waltz, Johann Strauss the younger, and Vienna danced at the rhythm of three hundred movements.
D. F. Strauss, Ulrich von Hutten, his Life and Times, trans. by Mrs. G. Sturge , gives a good account of the whole humanistic movement and treats Hutten very sympathetically; The Letters of Obscure Men, to which Hutten contributed, were published, with English translation, by F. G. Stokes in 1909.
He may have been weak and ill when he forbade Mary to touch him, on the first occasion of his being seen alive; but it would be hard to prove even this, and on no subsequent occasion does he shew any sign of weakness. The supposition that he died of the effects of his sufferings is quite gratuitous; one would like to know where Strauss got it from.
The group of musicians that, at the moment when the great line of composers that has descended in Germany since the days of Bach dwindled in Strauss and Mahler and Reger, revived the high tradition of French music, created a fresh and original musical art, and at present, by virtue of the influence it exercises on the new talents of other nations, has come well-nigh to dominate the international musical situation, could scarcely have attained existence had it not been for him.
Strauss wishes to make certain whether his feeling for the "All" is either paralysed or withered, and he pricks himself; for he knows that one can prick a limb that is either paralysed or withered without causing any pain.
"The Persians call it bidamag buden, The Germans say 'Katzenjammer." * Strauss quotes this himself, and is not ashamed. As for us, we turn aside for a moment, that we may overcome our loathing. VII. As a matter of fact, our Philistine captain is brave, even audacious, in words; particularly when he hopes by such bravery to delight his noble colleagues the "We," as he calls them.
The history of evolution convinces us that the highly purposive and admirably constituted sense organs, like all other organs, have developed without premeditated aim." Strauss, in his "The Old Faith and the New," gives to this idea its philosophic and universalistic finish.
Coleridge feared that his thoughts concerning Scripture might, if published, do more harm than good. They were printed first in 1840. Their writing goes back into the period long before the conflict raised by Strauss. There is not much here that one might not have learned from Herder and Lessing. Utterances of Whately and Arnold showed that minds in England were waking.
