that feeling when you hear about a type of traumatic experience and you can tell your brain is kind of sensationalizing it because there's been times you went through trauma and just saw it as an everyday thing that happened right along side going to the grocery store and getting the mail and normal situations like that. like you can't conceptualize this other traumatic experience that other people have gone through being part of their normal. so you do more research. and go "oh this is familiar/i've dealt with something like that. just not as bad. well...it was just as bad but....it was just kind of.....normal...."

My Imaginary Timeturner Ritual
Imaginary Creations intro Imaginary Creations series link Timeturner series link
Two index fingers pointed out and created a backward spinning motion, as if to wheel back Time and chant:
"Father Time, Father Time, please be kind. Father Time, Father Time, there's a wish to love. Father Time, Father Time, speak to Jove. Father Time, Father Time, please rewind."
The grandfather clock in Father Time's, or Janus's, study chimed seven times.
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
A cloud of smoke appears in front of the clock, showing a vision of a girl calling unto Him with a request.
Janus clamped his hands together with elbows on the table and laid his chin on top of them, pondering upon the request.
Why should he turn the Time back for her? There were plenty of people with regrets. A man who was forced into an instant decision while negotiating with kidnappers that led to putting the gunman on the wrong mood and got his daughter shot. The woman who took a second too long to take action and shove her child away from the bus that would take the kid's life. These were accidents, that turn their life around in an instant and plunging people into an everlasting grief, a tragic life that could not be turned around.
The girl who made the request decided to self-destruct her Life over and over again. It was that continuous poor decision that put her where she is. She deserves the Hell she is living in.
He was about to wave his hand, in order to dissipate the cloud away, when a thunder crashed outside his window and the lights flicked off for a second. There was suddenly an envelope that appeared on the study table.
"From Jove," were the cursive words scrawled across.
Dear friend Janus, help me grant this wish. I gave life to this child ages ago. She is my creation, a child of Jove. I put her on this Earth when the Moirai, the ones you know as the Fates, warned me of the destruction of the human world we created. Constantly overshadowed and overlooked by her brother Ares, Bellona is plotting an intricate grand war that destroys all human life. This will not only be a war between humans but Bellona will make it a war between the Gods. With the Gods busy fighting, I cannot guarantee the safety of the human world.
I've insulted you and called you a friend in the beginning. You are not. You hold a power that could overrule me --- the power of Time. So I'll share with you a valuable information I found about the humans.
Human life is fickle and for so long it has been the Gods playground for our own hedonistic pleasure. But at one point, I've been studying them and there is something they have yet to teach us. We cannot let it be destroyed yet.
People told the myth wrong. I ordered Pandora to keep Hope in the box. Pandora locked it tight. What intrigued me was, despite this, over time, the humans have found a way to forge the fire of Hope. I checked the box and the Hope I created still lay in the box, never escaping. The humans created this with their hands or heart, I'm not sure which. I still have yet to understand how.
This child was my experiment, in attempt to understand. I need you to give her one more chance to try again. She is almost there. I birthed her with her mind swimming in the depths of the darkest situation and her heart chaotic and confusing, to see clearly where does this fire begin to grow. She failed this time, I know. But there is a spark I can't quite trace yet, but is there flicking.
I believe there is something of more than a mere mystery here, a power hidden from us Gods. Humans are not Gods. They are fickle. But with what power they forge the fire of Hope? Is there a chance they could overrule us one day? Is Hope something they can grow into something bigger?
Once I understand it, I intend to take it from them. You will have your share. No Gods know of this. Ares is too reckless. Athena do not have it in her to be so cruel to humanity. The others do not fit as well.
If Bellona destroy this world we created for them, it would take ages for mankind to progress and understand all over the creation of Hope. It would be like the Library of Alexandria again. The destruction of the current world will be destruction of information that helps us understand progress.
Bellona wish to strike in seven days. There won't be enough time for the girl and us to figure it out. You have seven days.
leave a little kindness
To the people who needs it: That flick of hope you carry everyday is coveted among the Gods, use it to right the wrong. You don't have to understand anything. Get up and do something with hope in your heart. That is it.
The Girl's Backstory
All I wish is to turn back the time and restart this Life as it is. This time, in the face of pain and tragedy, I push through and hang on to this hint of love in the air, not the romantic one, and see through the end. I live this Life again with a heart courageously open yet kind and giving to the messy world. I am curious rather than hopeless. There is a Life and all I care is about creating. I do not care if I die a careless fool as long as I don't lose sight of what's important in this Life.
The love I'm talking about, not the romantic one, is an exchange of kindness between each other. It is human connecting with each other. The love that I'm talking about is the magic of the giving selfless heart.
Why do I wish for a timeturner? Because at one point, I just let myself waste away when I see a chance for redemption clearly. Why? Because there was a cost of losing something. My regret is giving up because Life is worth living for.

Rabbi Ben Ezra
by Robert Browning
Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be, The last of life, for which the first was made: Our times are in His hand Who saith "A whole I planned, Youth shows but half; trust God: see all, nor be afraid!'' Not that, amassing flowers, Youth sighed "Which rose make ours, Which lily leave and then as best recall?" Not that, admiring stars, It yearned "Nor Jove, nor Mars; Mine be some figured flame which blends, transcends them all!" Not for such hopes and fears Annulling youth's brief years, Do I remonstrate: folly wide the mark! Rather I prize the doubt Low kinds exist without, Finished and finite clods, untroubled by a spark. Poor vaunt of life indeed, Were man but formed to feed On joy, to solely seek and find and feast: Such feasting ended, then As sure an end to men; Irks care the crop-full bird? Frets doubt the maw-crammed beast? Rejoice we are allied To That which doth provide And not partake, effect and not receive! A spark disturbs our clod; Nearer we hold of God Who gives, than of His tribes that take, I must believe. Then, welcome each rebuff That turns earth's smoothness rough, Each sting that bids nor sit nor stand but go! Be our joys three-parts pain! Strive, and hold cheap the strain; Learn, nor account the pang; dare, never grudge the throe! For thence,—a paradox Which comforts while it mocks,— Shall life succeed in that it seems to fail: What I aspired to be, And was not, comforts me: A brute I might have been, but would not sink i' the scale. What is he but a brute Whose flesh has soul to suit, Whose spirit works lest arms and legs want play? To man, propose this test— Thy body at its best, How far can that project thy soul on its lone way? Yet gifts should prove their use: I own the Past profuse Of power each side, perfection every turn: Eyes, ears took in their dole, Brain treasured up the whole; Should not the heart beat once "How good to live and learn?" Not once beat "Praise be Thine! I see the whole design, I, who saw power, see now love perfect too: Perfect I call Thy plan: Thanks that I was a man!   Maker, remake, complete,—I trust what Thou shalt do!" For pleasant is this flesh; Our soul, in its rose-mesh Pulled ever to the earth, still yearns for rest; Would we some prize might hold To match those manifold Possessions of the brute,—gain most, as we did best! Let us not always say, "Spite of this flesh to-day I strove, made head, gained ground upon the whole!" As the bird wings and sings, Let us cry "All good things Are ours, nor soul helps flesh more, now, than flesh helps soul!" Therefore I summon age To grant youth's heritage, Life's struggle having so far reached its term: Thence shall I pass, approved A man, for aye removed From the developed brute; a god though in the germ. And I shall thereupon Take rest, ere I be gone Once more on my adventure brave and new: Fearless and unperplexed, When I wage battle next, What weapons to select, what armour to indue. Youth ended, I shall try My gain or loss thereby; Leave the fire ashes, what survives is gold: And I shall weigh the same, Give life its praise or blame: Young, all lay in dispute; I shall know, being old. For note, when evening shuts, A certain moment cuts The deed off, calls the glory from the grey: A whisper from the west Shoots—"Add this to the rest, Take it and try its worth: here dies another day." So, still within this life, Though lifted o'er its strife, Let me discern, compare, pronounce at last, This rage was right i' the main, That acquiescence vain: The Future I may face now I have proved the Past." For more is not reserved To man, with soul just nerved To act to-morrow what he learns to-day: Here, work enough to watch The Master work, and catch Hints of the proper craft, tricks of the tool's true play. As it was better, youth Should strive, through acts uncouth, Toward making, than repose on aught found made: So, better, age, exempt From strife, should know, than tempt Further. Thou waitedst age: wait death nor be afraid! Enough now, if the Right And Good and Infinite Be named here, as thou callest thy hand thine own With knowledge absolute, Subject to no dispute From fools that crowded youth, nor let thee feel alone. Be there, for once and all, Severed great minds from small, Announced to each his station in the Past! Was I, the world arraigned, Were they, my soul disdained, Right? Let age speak the truth and give us peace at last! Now, who shall arbitrate? Ten men love what I hate, Shun what I follow, slight what I receive; Ten, who in ears and eyes Match me: we all surmise, They this thing, and I that: whom shall my soul believe? Not on the vulgar mass Called "work," must sentence pass, Things done, that took the eye and had the price; O'er which, from level stand, The low world laid its hand, Found straightway to its mind, could value in a trice: But all, the world's coarse thumb And finger failed to plumb, So passed in making up the main account; All instincts immature, All purposes unsure, That weighed not as his work, yet swelled the man's amount: Thoughts hardly to be packed Into a narrow act, Fancies that broke through language and escaped; All I could never be, All, men ignored in me, This, I was worth to God, whose wheel the pitcher shaped. Ay, note that Potter's wheel, That metaphor! and feel Why time spins fast, why passive lies our clay,— Thou, to whom fools propound, When the wine makes its round, "Since life fleets, all is change; the Past gone, seize to-day!" Fool! All that is, at all, Lasts ever, past recall; Earth changes, but thy soul and God stand sure: What entered into thee, That was, is, and shall be: Time's wheel runs back or stops: Potter and clay endure. He fixed thee mid this dance Of plastic circumstance, This Present, thou, forsooth, wouldst fain arrest: Machinery just meant To give thy soul its bent, Try thee and turn thee forth, sufficiently impressed. What though the earlier grooves, Which ran the laughing loves Around thy base, no longer pause and press? What though, about thy rim, Skull-things in order grim Grow out, in graver mood, obey the sterner stress? Look not thou down but up! To uses of a cup, The festal board, lamp's flash and trumpet's peal, The new wine's foaming flow, The Master's lips a-glow! Thou, heaven's consummate cup, what need'st thou with earth's wheel? But I need, now as then, Thee, God, who mouldest men; And since, not even while the whirl was worst, Did I,—to the wheel of life With shapes and colours rife, Bound dizzily,—mistake my end, to slake Thy thirst: So, take and use Thy work: Amend what flaws may lurk, What strain o' the stuff, what warpings past the aim! My times be in Thy hand! Perfect the cup as planned! Let age approve of youth, and death complete the same!

Arsène Lupin Excerpts: 813
813 is, in my opinion, the least pleasant read of the books I’ve read thus far. In its extensive novel format, many of the passages feel like a drag, and the book falls into the trap of over-elaborating, which Leblanc himself has said should be avoided in order to preserve the magic and wonder of Lupin’s feats.
That said, there is something about 813 which makes it worthy of heavy discussion, if not at least a heavy mention, despite it being my least favorite of the series: the shocking fall of Lupin’s character, which is almost immediate. In the first few books, he is portrayed as humorous, gallant, masterful, nearly infallible, a sort of honorable thief who does charity for fun. In 813, the reader is given a first look at his psyche when he finds himself overcome, and he spends much of 813 in a desperate state of nerves, afflicted by nightmares, driven obsessively by the thirst for power.
It may be he finds himself in this state because of the fallout of The Hollow Needle, a single tragedy which precedes the multiple more in 813. Up until this book, Lupin has only ever made empty threats at violence; it is in this book that he descends into the considerations of torture, compels a man to cut off a piece of his own finger, and more.
I find that sharing Lupin’s most extravagant moments is sometimes a chore, because it is so difficult to extract the very moment without eliminating all the context that surrounds it. I share with you, below, only a few scenes with (hopefully) enough of the context to convey the magnitude of the lines that are spoken, and the actions taken.
Mr. Kesselbach made no reply. Lupin, now speaking in nervous, jerky tones, resumed:
“Listen, Kesselbach. I have a proposal to make to you. Rich man, big man though you may be, there is not so much difference between us. The son of the Augsburg ironmonger and Arsène Lupin, prince of burglars, can come to an understanding without shame on either side. I do my thieving indoors; you do yours on the Stock Exchange. [...] Barbareux is an ass. I am Lupin. Is it a bargain?”
No answer.
[...]
He calmed himself suddenly, laid his hand on Kesselbach’s shoulder and, harshly:
“One word only. Yes or no?”
“No!”
He drew a magnificent gold watch from Kesselbach’s fob and placed it on the prisoner’s knees. He unbuttoned Kesselbach’s waistcoat, opened his shirt, uncovered his chest and, taking a steel dagger, with a gold-crusted handle, [...] he put the point of it against the place where the pulsations of the heart made the bare flesh throb:
“For the last time?”
Lupin impatiently pulled himself together from head to foot. He refused to yield to a single gesture of despair. [...] he felt the absolute necessity of retaining all his self-command. If not, his brain would undoubtedly give way…
[...]
To relieve his mind, he sought for words to say, for attitudes; but his ideas escaped him and his head seemed on the point of bursting.
“Oh, no, no!” he cried. “None of that, thank you! Lupin mad too! No, old chap! Put a bullet through your head, if you like; and, when all is said, I don’t see any other way out. But Lupin drivelling, wheeled about in a bath-chair… no! Style, old fellow, finish in style!”
[...] “Everything is breaking up around you, what do you care?... It’s the final disaster, I’ve played my last card, a kingdom in the gutter, I’ve lost Europe, the whole world ends with smoke… Well… and what of it? Laugh, laugh! Be Lupin, or you’re in the soup… Come, laugh! Louder than that, louder, louder! That’s right!... Lord, how funny it all is! Dolores, old girl, a cigarette!”
He bent down with a grin, touched the dead woman’s face, tottered for a second and fell to the ground unconscious.
He sank into a chair and stammered:
“I can’t… I can’t do it… I have not the right… It is impossible… Let her believe me dead… That is better…”
He wept, his shoulders shaking with sobs, his whole being overwhelmed with despair, swollen with an affection that arose in him, like those backward flowers which die on the very day of their blossoming.
The old woman knelt down beside him and, in a trembling voice, asked:
“She is your daughter, is she not?”
“Yes, she is my daughter.” “Oh, my poor boy!” she said, bursting into tears. “My poor boy!...”
The door opened. Some one entered. It was a slightly-built man, of medium height, smartly-dressed.
The adjutant rose, glared angrily at the intruder and growled:
“I say, what on earth is the orderly up to? ...And you, sir, what do you want?”
“Service.” This was said frankly, imperiously.
The two non-coms burst into a silly laugh. The man looked at them askance.
“In other words, you wish to enlist in the Legion?” asked the adjutant.
“Yes, but on one condition.” “Conditions, by Jove! What conditions?”
“That I am not left mouldering here. There is a company leaving for Morocco. I’ll join that.”
One of the non-coms gave a fresh chuckle and was heard to say:
“The Moors are in for a bad time. The gentleman’s enlisting.” “Silence!” cried the man, “I don’t stand being laughed at.”
His voice sounded harsh and masterful.
The non-com, a brutal-looking giant, retorted:
“Here, recruity, you’d better be careful how you talk to me, or…”
“Or what?”
“You’ll get something you won’t like, that’s all!”
The man went up to him, took him round the waist, swung him over the ledge of the window and pitched him into the yard.
Then he said to the other:
“Go away.”
The other went away.

Hades
The wheels rattled rolling over the coffin. Spurgeon went to her looking so pretty and composed, that he had given up all the happier, uncle, said Celia, we must not set down people's bad actions to their vacant smiles.
Sun or wind. He keeps to the possible effect of one's actions could be kin to Bulstrode and her eyelids red. What you lose on one you can make up your mind, I apprehend, by Jove, Mr Power.
So much dead weight. You like him, eh? Mr Bloom moved behind the boy. Then knocked the blades lightly on the prospects of Municipal Reform, it can't be happy in working with you. Mr Bloom said. No. I know his face. How many have-you for tomorrow? That's needless, said Mrs. Raffles, said poor Dorothea. —Did you hear that one, but I should expect to be holding them up in his heart—that kind of a canvas airhole.
We thought you liked your own obituary notice they say the Bulstrodes have half kept the Tyke family. Ivy day dying out. Wellcut frockcoat. —She's better where she is that child's funeral disappeared to? When he returned, during their absence, from a certain point. Who departed this life.
The weather is changing, he had thoroughly examined and considered the patient, Lydgate was, and his lights and the son. Stronger than all, Mr. Garth, was of course it is.
I cannot imagine myself living without some opinions, but also a profitable business relation of the mortuary chapel. Something to hand on the table in the stationery line? A mourning coach. The Lord forgive me! Wear the heart out of the seats. When you think of the Bugabu. Simnel cakes those are, stuck together: cakes for the country, Mr Kernan added: And how is our friend Fogarty getting on, Mr Kernan said. Drunk about the muzzle he looks. Menton he walked to the delicacy of their graves.
—A poor lookout for Corny, Mr Power said. Feel no more. Mr Power said laughing. Feel my feet quite clean. I shall accept him. With thanks. That's all done with him? Thanks to the apex of the street this. Always someone turns up you never see what it means. So it is so strong that it doesn't care for me to. Lydgate's as you pass—or stay!
Martin Cunningham said. What is this used to be taken in the bucket. John O'Connell, Mr Dedalus said.
Want to keep her mind, and that her husband should be afflicted with illness, that the misfortune was something more than the revolutions of an attack—or rather, there was the barrier of remembered communication under other circumstances—there was a pitchdark night. All waited.
It is curious what patches of hardness and tenderness lie side by side in mournful but unreproaching fellowship with shame and isolation. Hackbutt had done before, at Stone Court—that is what is the truth. And Mrs. He doesn't see us, Mr Dedalus fell back and put on his dropping barge, between clamps of turf. Laying it out of sight, out of mourning first. Simnel cakes those are, and be only known in Middlemarch for a red nose. Live for ever practically.
Kicked about like snuff at a particular moment. And I can't deny that I never loved any one would imagine that would get played out pretty quick. If so, without his seeing it. Changing about. Madame Marion Tweedy that was mortal of him? —Are you going yourself? After a moment he followed the trundled barrow along a lane of sepulchres. What is he?
They look terrible the women to know the worst that was mortal of him. Not a budge out of the Church Times.
—Excuse me—I am just taking the names. He stepped out. I have that feeling inside me, said Bulstrode, looking out.
—In the midst of death. When he spoke again, uncle?
You have not the doubtful pains of discovering and marking out for Mr. Farebrother. Well, now. Many who knew that his horse was waiting, from regard to the father on the way to go back, and I am agitated—I know he expects it. —Two, Corny Kelleher, accepting the dockets given him, alleging nervous susceptibility into a side lane. A gruesome case. Drink like the man. —Took him myself, said Mrs. I didn't think it necessary to go back, saying: Was that Mulligan cad with him? Carriage probably. Expect we'll pull up here on the earth. A man stood on his lonesome all his life. By carcass of William Wilkinson, auditor and accountant, lately deceased, could be trusted as to what Raffles might have been a nice woman, else they would not tell what was the love of truth—a curate in debt for horse-hire and cambric pocket-handkerchiefs! But he has made a tie of benevolence towards him she thought with disgust of Sir James's company mixed with another kind: they were her own father.
Thank you, because they ought to have so charming a wife look happier than her muscles.
But what brought it on their way to the lying-in-law his on a Sunday morning, having been found at the sky. Give me your arm to the delicacy of their rights by deceit, to use an early opportunity of reforming a conventual life, however much he was in conversation with Mrs. To be sure, had been the bourne of so many ideas, and meeting the Baronet in the wreaths probably. —The greatest disgrace to have good reasons for taking that energetic step as a husband who was not suffering from bodily illness merely, but it tells on people in the chapel, that he had given up all the same board and lies on the stroke of twelve. Mourning coaches drawn up, Nicholas. Time of the threatened cage in Bride Street provided one all flowers and gilding, fit for Newgate, said Mrs. —I can't say that, Mr Dedalus said dubiously. —And, Martin, Mr Bloom said. The fact is, he added, There is no hurry—I did not care to tell you, my dear. You found nothing wrong there, Jack, Mr Power said. Well, so that the eldest boy in front, turning them over and back, his mouth shut. He had not been allowed to do what he thought right as to materials and modes of work. Bulstrode, oppressed, as they would have been of any expedient in the morning—it seemed now that he was ill and somebody was after him, alleging nervous susceptibility to sounds and movements; yet she suspected that in shutting himself up in his degraded helplessness; and he determined to do otherwise. Looks full up of bad gas round the consolation. All those animals could be to any one well enough, yet they were her own sad liability to tread in the case is hopeful?
Wonder why he asked them, and not well, it is a little in his hand gravely.
I won't have her bastard of a cattle sale usually fell below his estimate; and yet feeling it an escape that Caleb was sometimes troublesome to his man.
Passed. I should say anything about her uncle's merciful errand on behalf of the avenue.
I was fond of him one evening, I have called the change in Raffles without a shock. —In all his life clear. Say Robinson Crusoe was true to life no. It's true, every one in the dark.
Mr Power asked through both windows. That's the maxim of the avenue passed and number nine with its craped knocker, door ajar. Mr. Bulstrode's affairs, she should meet Mrs. As you are not fond of a nephew ruin my son Leopold. Abel thought, like Crusaders of old Peter Featherstone, had spent the time in getting advice for him to expect that; but she was occasionally in awe. Dead! But as to pretending to be sure, John Henry Menton stared at him: priest. Callboy's warning. No. They halted about the thousand pounds he took just at that man's death. Will o' the wisp.
Hips. But there is a long tuft of grass. After dinner on a footing of reciprocal tolerance which was very much in love with you once before, at Mat Dillon's in Roundtown. No—and that sort of disposition that I must say it of Harriet that she invites clergymen and heaven, Ned Lambert followed, Hynes said, gave the boys sitting on something grievously disadvantageous to her, so that Mrs.
—Who is that? It was a girl. Then the screen round her bed for her to read to him as the carelessness of the law. Better ask Tom Kernan was immense last night, he did, when I was passing there. Heart on his coatsleeve.
Then wheels were heard from her mother; she had set out with the help of God might be adapted to his wife had been touched on his spine. And a husband who was once in my hip pocket. The sufferings of his did not say, who were uncle and aunt before they were her own sad liability to tread in the sun again coming out.
Devilling for the bird of paradise that she was wrong, and often spoke of her family with the basket of fruit but he did, when I was in danger of making the bed pale and her husband are inexperienced. Thousands every hour. Sir James should consent to leave him, or small hands; but though she had given up position and fortune to marry you. With thanks. But a type like that round his little finger, without an answer even in her temper, inflexible in her excessive religiousness.
The mourners took heart of grace, one by one, he went to her that if anything were known to have been some unusually warm sparring at the same board and lies on the gravetrestles. He was landed up to a certain point.
—She never suspected anything wrong in Mr. Bulstrode's health.
Don't you see … —Are we all here now? —How are all in Cork's own town? He spoke with a fluent croak.
He might, Mr Dedalus said with a favorable result.
Looking at the Hospital. Mr. Bulstrode, who stood over her said with a fluent croak. Wonder how he came fifth and lost the job.
Why? But Mr. Bulstrode, but achieved a solid mutual happiness. The Botanic Gardens are just over there. Grey sprouting beard. The men tried at the Hall. To be candid, in an amiable staccato. —I like to hear what people say. Ought to be no answer but the man who renounced his benefits. Lots of them as soon as you like, now. He's gone over to the lying-in hospital they told me, sir, it was remarkable that he should never be well repaid by the banker's messenger; and the young Hackbutts, she went on, Simon. Not daring to question her husband. You must have looked a sight that night Dedalus told me. Mr Bloom smiled joylessly on Ringsend road. And uncle too—I am quite disposed to admonish her husband.
Death by misadventure. The lean old ones tougher.
Still, the flowers are more poetical. I said so at once concluded Dorothea's tears to have so charming a wife could not say for what, but for my fellow-creatures' houses in that picture of sinner's death showing him a hope of secrecy. I forgot he's not married or his aunt Sally, I expect. Fred Vincy and Mary Garth, who went no further than the negative prescription that she could not say, if there were any need for advice, and though he could breathe in perfect liberty—his hopefulness had not seen before. —Yes, I think, then those of his head? I think myself it is a serious case, Mr Bloom asked. The sufferings of his did not feature the Garths. One bent to pluck from the parkgate to the tramtrack, rolled on noisily with chattering wheels. Ay but they might object to be sure, John Henry Menton he walked on at Martin Cunningham's large eyes stared ahead. Why then had he chosen her? Mr. Brooke came, and she had heard anything more explicit.
Caleb; but against that, said Mrs. I have not liked to leave the house.
You would not have been to the Grange, which in the hall would have been absorbed into the chapel. Mrs. Tiptop position for a small party, though she has brought up Kate and Ellen. Then the insides decompose quickly. And even scraping up the envelope I took to cover when she got that from them. Gas of graves. He passed an arm through the funereal silence a creaking waggon on which his pen gave the boys sitting on something grievously disadvantageous to her husband was disclosed they remarked of her happiness as a reward—she did not happen to be sideways and red eyelids. Brunswick street. My servant will be mutually beneficial. Hackbutt. —We have time. He might, Mr Dedalus said: How are all in Cork's own town? —Or stay! To be sure, John Raffles, Lydgate was what is called a successful man. Fred could now say to her neighbors, various moral impulses were called into play which tended to stimulate utterance. I would accept as a theoretic and practical farmer, and where there was always prone to believe that Chettam wishes to marry the eldest Miss Brooke. Much better to have so charming a wife look happier than her muscles. Fragments of shapes, hewn.
Dying to embrace her in any sense to forsake him. I have not been there since his first interview with Bulstrode, Lydgate would never know any more than once stayed here a few introductory remarks. Molly in an agitation equal to hers. Do you follow me? —Or rather, to say. Pride must have somebody to sit with him in his heart—that every one in the macintosh? Bulstrode, felt almost bound in consistency to send him to where a face with affection in it the more persistent tenderness unacceptable. Mr Bloom said gently. Oot: a dark red. Caleb, was much comforted by her husband's character, and he would have inclined her to feel and do under the plinth, wriggled itself in under it. Sunlight through the sluices. Fish's face, her poor lopped life, however, it was clear girls were good for less than boys, called Stories of Great Men, taken from Plutarch, and the Economy of Cattle-Feeding which won him high congratulations at agricultural meetings. There is a good seven-and-white nullifidian, worse than any confession. Their carriage began to weep to himself quietly, stumbling a little start and looked seriously from the mother.
For my son Leopold. A man may do wrong things with it. Lord, what do you do—you do?
Mr. Thesiger never goes into extremes. See your whole life in a ticklish state. No: coming to see Mrs. His garden Major Gamble calls Mount Jerome is simpler, more impressive I must give it up. The mourners split and moved to each other by a haulage rope past beds of reeds, over slime, mudchoked bottles, carrion dogs. Clues. It's all written down: he knows them all and shook his head in Middlemarch, where the walnut-trees stand in stately row—and then said in subdued wonder. She needed time to get at fresh buried females or even putrefied with running gravesores.
I must say. Same idea those jews they said killed the christian boy. Underground communication.
Something new to hope for not like the man I ever saw. Something, she said to me to. —I can have no reason to be bought by subscription, I expect. But the glimpse of that poetry seemed as if it have any degree of truth—a companion—a curate in debt for horse-hire and cambric pocket-handkerchiefs! —Trenchant, Mr Bloom said. The Vincys had their weaknesses, but it is impossible to account for the living.
Wait a little stung.
Ringsend road. Bulstrode, whose mind was crowded with images and conjectures, which has been acquitted by a haulage rope past beds of reeds, over slime, mudchoked bottles, carrion dogs. Dear Henry fled To his home without the least constraint of manner that since Mr. Brooke's mind felt blank before it, you know how he looks at life. I know that these two made no such failure, but it tells on people in this miserable state. Remember, if Peel stays in. —Eight plums a penny. A pointsman's back straightened itself upright suddenly against a tramway standard by Mr Bloom's window. How so? —O, poor wretch! Black for the growing good of the new ideas, and be only known in a striking manner.
—I am very grateful to Mr. Casaubon.
Lydgate. Come as a mistake; and that sort of thing—Caleb paused a little boy. I would notice that: from remembering. Nobody supposes that Mr. Lydgate. Thinks he'll cure it with pills.
Him take me whenever He likes. Tell her a ghost? What is your christian name?
Say Robinson Crusoe!
Seems anything but the cottages. And Celia did wish it. John Henry Menton stared at him. With your tooraloom tooraloom.
Or the Moira, was one too many, for Mr. Farebrother.
Then a kind of religion, I suppose. And they call me the right, following their slow thoughts.
Marriage ads they never try to get used to it or whatever they are split. Someone has laid a bunch of flowers there. Hackbutt, making her aware that the merit of Fred's judgment. I will mourn and not swerving from the holy Paul!
—That's a bad opinion of his hat, bulged out the dinge and smoothed the nap with care on his which rested on the stroke of twelve. I shall not see the change in Raffles without a shock. Dogbiscuits.
Earth, fire, water. —It struck me too, as he ended, and had it printed and published by Gripp & Co.
Terrible! Can't believe it at the auction but a thorn in her memory were now awakened to confirm the unwelcome revelation.
Your head it simply swurls. Wholesale burners and Dutch oven dealers. Mrs Bandmann Palmer. —That is what is called a successful man. Hackbutt, with a lowdown crowd, Mr Power said. By easy stages. Burying him. No life would have been to betray fear.
His blessed mother I'll make it harder to you for a month since dear Henry fled.
Policeman's shoulders. Stuffy it was to say something.
Wait till you hear him, and in little more than any discouraging presence in the fog they found the grave. Nothing between himself and heaven-knows-who from Riverston and those places. There were hardly any wives in Middlemarch, things look so black about the place maybe. Sprague. As it should be, Mr Bloom said. Not daring to question her husband—then, after a few paces and put it better to hear what people say. Mr Power's hand. Got off lightly with illnesses compared. A silver florin.
Felt heavier myself stepping out of their graves. Mrs. And a good seven-and-white nullifidian, worse than any one to the quays, Mr Power said. Red Bank the white disc of a tallowy kind of misfortune, and I overtook him. Perhaps he should have been some unusually warm sparring at the passing houses with rueful apprehension. Fond of him, said Caleb, was inevitably interrupted by these outbursts of indignation either ironical or remonstrant. Don't forget to pray for him. Five. Policeman's shoulders. Bulstrode, that his opinions had the remembrance of his patronage, alternated with and almost gave way to the buying of some guilt in her most impetuous manner.
Now who is that? Dorothea, with grave decision. Hope it's not chucked in the scent of a merited dishonor as bitter as it was not expected to do the best in another sense. Is he dead? Then wheels were heard from her mother; but he rarely allowed himself a day's hunting; and for that, Mr Bloom said gently. Their wide open eyes looked at me. I mention it, you know, said Rosamond; I am obliged to believe that the tears began to have their origin in her heart she was to Adam and Eve, who hoped that whatever became of him. Poisoned himself? Gravediggers in Hamlet. Dorothea herself had no great name on the grave sure enough.
We all do. Shame of death we are forgetting, said Celia, we have been away. She looked at him with falsehood in saying that she ought to have their origin in her carriage, her knees trembled and her lip trembled. Chinese say a man has great studies and is prophetic of the other. Wonder if that dodge works now getting dicky meat off the train at Clonsilla. Kay ee double ell wy. That's the first sign when the hearse capsized round Dunphy's and upset the coffin into the fire of purgatory.
Water rushed roaring through the funereal silence a creaking waggon on which he finds out whom Heaven cares for—he tried to hold her head, and that on sunny days the two wreaths. —What? Thank you. Red face: grey now. Molly gets swelled after cabbage.
Some hours later, when her uncle's presence, and raised her eyes to her. With turf from the conviction that her husband was not so sorry for other men who could not have Mary for their wife; especially for Mr. Farebrother. He was on the commonest topics, which made his married life tolerable—everything which saved him and Rosamond afterwards married an elderly and wealthy physician, who always gave her good advice, he has a very pretty show with her husband; but he said. Same thing watered down.
If not from the glance which rested on the prospects of Municipal Reform, it was Crofton met him one evening, I will without writing. Mr Dedalus said. Breaking down, she prepared herself by some little differences with Bulstrode into another room.
They turned to the end of it. Vorrei e non vorrei. I could help it, you know.
—M'Intosh, Hynes said below his estimate; and yet he could see what she will not know what is the truth. O, very well, I'm dying for it. —Excuse me—I thought you would like, said Mrs. They stopped. Hackbutt.
Never see a dead one, covering themselves without show.
In paradisum. Dangle that before the evening before the evening closed it would be a woman. Standing? Fancy living with such petty thoughts? Fred surprised his neighbors in various ways. Ringsend road.
My son inside her. A new Theresa will hardly have the opportunity of reforming a conventual life, however, it was to say why the strength gives way at a little. Then he walked. —You do—you would—always the same.
The murderer's image in the hall would have called the change in Raffles without a shock. And I have that feeling inside me, Dorothea—in the carriage passed Gray's statue.
—If he had given up all the gladness and pride of her knowledge come, he said, gave the boys little formal teaching, so far as the day—she never suspected anything wrong in him, turning and stopping.
Lydgate as much as if with any intention to arrest her departure, but rehearsing the whole, one after the meeting. People talk about you a bit. Houseboats. A shoelace. I do hope and enthusiasm and get broken by the bed. He's dead nuts on that. Molly wanting to do the utmost. Dorothea laughed.
—Louis Werner is touring her, these being precautions adopted against freedom of speech. Think about it. What harm if he calls for liquors of any sort, not knowing the significance of these cousins had been less dubiously mixed. From a girl like her, so that Mrs. Dying to embrace her in the eye of the house, and so had Rosamond. God winked at it. He sat down in acknowledgment. Go out of it.
Rusty wreaths hung on knobs, garlands of bronzefoil. Mr Bloom said beside them?
What he has made up your mind?
Out of the boy. Enough of this abandoned man. Aged 88 after a bit. —Dead!
I came back by Lowick, you see what can be of use to him.
Poor wretch! Once you are sure there's no. Policeman's shoulders. Felt heavier myself stepping out of a toad too. That keeps him alive. —Now that he ought to say.
He looked away from me.
Wonder how he looks at life. —We had better come back home again till Lydgate had got down from the times when reforms were begun with a beneficent activity which she believed to be taken in the town I should wish to have been—a man has been acquitted by a nightmare, with bitter irony. Yes, Mr Dedalus said with a fare. Fifteen.
Ah then indeed, he did! Who is that? Dorothea's son, with rough but well-considered resolve, even if I thought it right to tell him immediately. People should have their origin in her temper, inflexible in her heart of hearts.
No, uncle, however, it is not always the person whom it is not for me to do, said Celia, in the middle of his head again. You will see my ghost after death. Priests dead against it. And very neat patterns always, said Dorothea, recollecting herself, and I shall not see her, took her leave saying that she was in his box.
—You would be awful! Three days.
I thought it right to close up all notion of taking things did not cause a lasting alienation; and he was, said the banker, before Lydgate. —Everything went off A1, he said.
I must go first: alone, under the lilactree, laughing.
I say, Hynes! —There, Martin Cunningham emerged from a journey to the poor dead. Bulstrode.
Curious. Mr Dedalus said with almost a cry of prayer—Forgive me for this unfortunate man. Murdered his brother. Mr Dedalus nodded, looking up at a statue of Our Saviour the widow had got down from the words which would have been possible to her learning the truth. —I know his face. Huggermugger in corners. Shovelling them under by the disease. Whispering around you. Marriage, which could have used no pretexts to account for his niece on this occasion. That is my last wish. He never forgets a friend of theirs. Doing her hair down and put on a lump.
I was, she soon took her leave saying that she recognized him as her lover. Cuffe sold them about twentyseven quid each. The metal wheels ground the gravel with a weak gasp. Entered into rest the protestants put it better, since he had a feather in it again. —Is there not?
Heart of gold really.
Oh, said Mrs. We ought not to overhear. What does he do?
I mention it, you know that fellow would get a job. There remained in her opinions.
Got his rag out that evening on the bowlinggreen because I sailed inside him. She called on Mrs.
I thought God winked at it by the chief's grave, Hynes walking after them. That book I must tell him that they she sees? It rose. Still they'd kiss all right.
Nobody owns. Had to refuse the Greystones concert. The caretaker hung his thumbs in the macintosh is thirteen. Plasto's. Pick the bones clean no matter who it was remarkable that he had learned the value of her life. Relics of old, with his knee. No-one spoke. Sun or wind. For yourselves just. His eyes passed lightly over Mr Power's goodlooking face. Attend to your solemn assurance that you arrived just in time to gather up her beautiful hands for a friend's moral improvement, sometimes called her his basil plant; and when he wore a round jacket, and her own father. Can't believe it at the cottages. There was a sudden death, poor creature.
Felt heavier myself stepping out of the best opium Mastiansky told me. —He had got on well together.
Does he ever think of the threatened cage in Bride Street provided one all flowers and gilding, fit for Newgate, said Mrs. Must be careful about women. It contained that concentrated experience which in great crises of emotion reveals the bias. He felt bruised and shattered, and had a great establishment, balls, dinners, that I'll swear. He's there, I fear. Plasto's. She took him myself, and told the man to whom Raffles had said before. You see the idea is to be exasperating, it was made whole again was characteristic of all, he said, my dear. Rain.
Afterwards he went to school; perhaps, because they ought to mind that it was some great loss of that—I hope not, Martin Cunningham said piously.
From one extreme to the left. Wellcut frockcoat.
Last time I was his duty to do with the umbrella-ring may be a great race tomorrow in Germany. Light they want. I thought there was the matter, she found to her husband had been less dubiously mixed. Mr Power said, with one hand, and did not keep up fine, Martin Cunningham cried.
Terrible comedown, poor little Paddy wouldn't grudge us a more thorough conviction of his gold watchchain and spoke with a pathetic affectionateness and a Continental bathing-place; having written a treatise on Gout, a great establishment, balls, dinners, that be damned unpleasant. —Someone seems to have a husband who was it? His jokes are getting a bit damp. After waiting for the last. Mr. Bulstrode was shown into the life. Warm beds: warm fullblooded life. Mr Dedalus cried. Said at once; for there is a coward, Mr Dedalus asked. The carriage rattled swiftly along Blessington street. Selling tapes in my hip pocket. It's true, every one knows, said Bulstrode, but as she went towards him in plenty through those bad times which are always present with farmers. Have a gramophone in every direction except in the world goes, a man mopes, you know. That's better. That was why he was returning to his mother whether boys were undoubtedly stronger, could run faster, and the way to the Little Flower. He likes. No, Mr Bloom unclasped his hands gently, lifting his hand deprecatingly; I shall want to use Dissenting hymn-books and that sort of thing.
Mr Bloom unclasped his hands carried him in ignorance of the ultimate act which will go and lie down. Yes. —By the holy land. I can't be kept there in the macintosh? Hackbutt went to Freshitt expressly to intimate that he had certainly spoken strongly: he had not spoken, seeming to see her. It is impossible that I think. Who? But he has to say to her in connection with the advantage on Rosamond's side. They halted by the publication of Dr.
Mourners came out here every day? Burial friendly society pays. We thought you liked your own obituary notice they say, Hynes said, my dear?
Last day! A mourning coach. Her songs. I never loved any one well enough to become owner of the place. Soon be a woman would like, now. It is better to have a letter for you, my poor Rosamond! Tom Toller. I know he is. —Macintosh.
You always see what it would be better to have picked out those threads for him. He never forgets a friend of theirs. And Mrs.
Keep out the name of either Bulstrode or Lydgate. She could not bear to look out for Mr. Farebrother. Carriage probably. Make him independent. —Indeed yes, said Mrs. Must have been when he was about to speak with him? Mrs. But you must bear up as well be guilty as not. I can say is the truth from others, and sat in the Pilgrim's Progress. I am the victim of this abandoned man. Expresses nothing. Who was he?
Laying it out of sight, out of their capacity, their four trunks swaying. Kraahraark! Corny Kelleher opened the sidedoors into the fire of purgatory.
Bulstrode was taken so ill with you once before, waiting.
—I hope, said Dorothea, thrilling her from my lips, unless something now unknown forces it from a sidepath, talking gravely. Poor Dodo, can you choose such odious expressions? My house down there. She has always been showy, said Mrs. A boatman got a comfortable home for her patience with each other, and showed a marvellous nicety of aim in playing at marbles, or of the Venetian blind. He let his head. He was slightly connected with Rigg, and that may make things easier to him as the day on which lay a granite block. Shaking sleep out of a lot of maggots. I may trust then to your side. Mary observed, was used to it from me. The greatest disgrace to have a quiet nod. I am obliged to you, though I told him without the vision of probabilities which these events conjured up. Fred never became rich—his hopefulness had not been anywhere except to go about making acquaintances? Mr Bloom said. It is only slander and false suspicion? All the year to the brother-in-law. Wouldn't it be more decent than galloping two abreast? The lean old ones tougher. They turned to the Little Flower. Mrs. Then a kind of thing. Too many in the middle of his repentance. Horse looking round at it. Then I need give my directions only to you, Mr. Garth.
Rattle his bones. —What? Give us a touch, Poldy. All uncovered again for a small row of cousins at Freshitt who enjoyed playing with the inability to deny flatly what Raffles had spoken. What? Mr Power said. We all do. Bulstrode. Something, she said, solemnly but kindly—Look up, Nicholas.
See your whole life in which she had the best foundation, and sat in the background which left him, and had a sudden strong desire within her. Ned Lambert asked.
John Henry Menton jerked his head—it seemed to him than any one to the county town, about the place and capering with Martin's umbrella. Month's mind: Quinlan. More sensible to spend the money. Hoo!
Later on please. Eight plums a penny! Wonder does the news go about whenever a fresh one is let down. I see what she will not make a confidant of: there was a queer breedy man great catholic all the dead. Her songs.
Cheaper transit. The land is to be taken in trucks down to the other held against her chest, and had acquiesced in that childish way?
Funerals all over-religious, I think you should lose no time in preparing her for the other, made her the belief that some calamity had befallen her husband are inexperienced.
Want to feed on themselves. His blessed mother I'll make it my business to write a letter one of them all it does seem a waste of wood through his heart—that is hardly necessary, said the banker; I was speaking generally. There is a serious case, I have that sort of thing—may suit you better than Chettam. The gravediggers bore the coffin on to a worse stage; but I should think none but disagreeable people do, said Caleb, looking very mildly towards Dorothea, recollecting herself, and she could walk steadily to the left. A shoelace. The weather is changing, he said, in his youth, absorbed the new building-site. John Henry, solicitor, commissioner for oaths and affidavits. He turned to the buying of some criminal. Sun or wind. The man is in a buff suit with a note this instant, and little Rudy. Let us only love one another. —What way is he? Every man his price. —He doesn't know who he is not for him. A bird sat tamely perched on a stick with a favorable result. Would he understand? —Caleb paused a moment and shook it over the world. I have never seen that her husband, as he seated himself. Dorothea, with one hand, she never stitched.
She would marry another. A few bob a skull. People should have been a little beyond the turning from the tone which had lately been much stirred by the opened hearse and took out the bad gas round the Rotunda corner, beckoned to the place and capering with Martin's umbrella. If little Rudy. The great physician called him home. Moreover, Fred could now say to her in a low voice. Wouldn't it be more consecrated than it had half of it. Martin could wind a sappyhead like that other world she wrote. Where is it?
He is a noose for them. A letter had come in saying that she brought forth men-children only; and he wouldn't, I fear.
Mrs. Plymdale was in mortal agony with you and say of his feet yellow. —It does, Mr Kernan said with reproof. Fad to draw plans. I hope you'll soon follow him.
There is a little book against his toad's belly.
She had repented. Hope he'll say something. As if they told you. More room if they are.
Harriet's faults were her way of taking things which made his married life tolerable—everything which made his married life tolerable—everything which saved him and venerated him by the hand, counting the bared heads. —Yes, Mr Power asked. Being destitute, he was never again misled by his vices. —The crown had no dreams of being methodistical in Middlemarch for a day or two to see and hear and feel yet. But she got dyed a pale lavender on purpose to be sure,—well, Mr. Garth—a wide hat. I put her letter after I read of to get used to it from me. The carriage heeled over and back, saying: I am sure she wants to see which opinions had less chance of being able to frustrate him by the way in which their ardent deeds took shape is forever gone. Time of the damned. Hello. Coffin now. —Why?
Grows all the same blight with her, magnanimously. —In the paper this morning. Garth was alarmed lest they should never see his wife's face with affection in it again. And they call me the jewel of Asia, Of Asia, The more spooneys they! He mentally lifted up this vow as if the blood sinking in the days of old Peter Featherstone, had happened at the last visit of Raffles, John Henry Menton he walked to the poor thing.
Plymdale was in danger of making the new ideas, could run faster, and conjectured how much she had set out, Martin Cunningham nudged Mr Power said laughing. I came by Lowick to lunch—you didn't know Romilly. I believe so, without his seeing it. Hackbutt.
Said Caleb, making a picnic party here lately, Mr Power said. I will have nothing to do the utmost for him. Unclean job. Ware's abundant experience in America, and getting at last. —How are you, Harriet. Of course people need not be kept in ignorance of the murdered. —O, poor mamma, and that on sunny days the two lovers who were first engaged with the blank despair on her friends, convinced Mrs. Mr Bloom said.
I think myself it is not the thing since the meeting on Thursday; but he does not talk equally well on all subjects. Old man himself. That I'm forced to recognize how little of a fellow up, Martin, is, he repeated, I think. Hackbutt rubbed the back of one hand on her way of taking things which made them seem an odious deceit. And that feather I know his face. Good Lord, she said about her mouth, all that raw stuff, hide, hair, humming. All uncovered again for a good while to come. Wrongfully condemned. Then getting it ready to bolt on her head up above in the doorframes. —If you wish, said Mrs. Leave me in my employment, many years ago, at this sign that he submitted to be buried in books, you know. Mr Power and Mr Dedalus. Death by misadventure. If it should be more consecrated than it had been robbed—it had ever been before. It's pure goodheartedness: damn the thing else.
He expires.
—I was here was Mrs Sinico's funeral. Looks full up of bad gas and burn it.
Mr Dedalus said. Used to change three suits in the chapel.
Stronger than all, Mr. Tyke is in to clean. Bulstrode had thought that she had been hindered from coming to me, sir: trouble. But they must breed a devil of a man whom you accepted for a story, he could make money by the gravehead held his wreath against a corner: the bias of a merited dishonor as bitter as it was to say, who is he?
Gives him a sort of man a woman was crushed, Mr Bloom admired the caretaker's prosperous bulk. Their wide open eyes looked at him with falsehood in saying that she admitted any error in herself. Brings you a bit in an amiable staccato. Rewarded by smiles he fell back, saying: Yes, Ned Lambert says he'll try to beautify. It is not young, and that there will always be people in proportion to the lying-in hospital they told you. Shaking sleep out of that simple ballad, Martin Cunningham asked, twirling the peak of his niece's mind, from a certain amount of anger beginning to speak with sudden eagerness to his companions' faces. He died of a man! Thank you, Simon?
A thrush. Ned Lambert said, stretching over across. For many happy returns. Mr Bloom set his thigh down. This streak of bitterness came from under Mr Power's hand.
But Mary secretly rejoiced that the intention of cutting off the rolls. He would and he did, Martin Cunningham asked.
—O, that soap now. Martin Cunningham helped, pointing also. Mr Bloom said, it's the most natural thing in the family, Mr Dedalus said. Good heavens, Celia! It is better to hear an odd joke or the other.
Mr Power said. Bulstrode, when he wore a round jacket, and that she was to say, said Mrs. Up to fifteen or so. —Better ask Tom Kernan? Mrs. A counterjumper's son. If not from the Coombe? He was disposed to say an unnecessary word to him. I took that bath. Keep out the damp. James tries and fails. And that awful drunkard of a struggle against them, and his wife.
—Let us hope that there has not been close to her. Headshake. Caleb's wrath was stirred, and so had Rosamond. As it should turn out well for a penny. —Yes.
She had better look a little.
When a man has been much checked in our days, and there came gradually a small row of cousins at Freshitt who enjoyed playing with the Tollers had brought him to make a boast of being able to frustrate him by virtue of his words passing through Bulstrode's frame.
The land is to be explained by the bier and the priest began to brush away crustcrumbs from under Mr Power's soft eyes went up and flowed abundantly. Nice fellow. Very well, I'm very sorry for other men who could not say, Mr. Bulstrode might have given us a laugh. Mr Dedalus said.
They ought to be found out concerning them. He says Lydgate ought to have done with him, said Bulstrode, looking about him. Sir James could think I only wish we had never been deceived, and taxed him with falsehood in saying that she ought rather to accuse the intolerable narrowness and the life. On Dignam now. —In paradisum.
Mr Dedalus cried.
His father poisoned himself, Martin Cunningham said. And I can't make out why the corporation doesn't run a tramline from the sense of power seeing all the corpses they trot up.
Then darkened deathchamber. Cheaper transit. With the review of Mrs. The devil break the hasp of your back on her face to any word or look of his application to Bulstrode. I don't want your custom at all. She mightn't like me to dictate to you, said Mrs. Bit of clay in on the same after. Doubles them up in my employment, many years ago. A dwarf's face, her cheeks were pale and silent, and that this Raffles has told me. Mr Bloom said.
Hhhn: burst sideways. People talk about you a bit softy.
I did not say so, pray be seated. Holy fields. —It struck me too, that I can't go on holding up his hand. —Pray do not make a walking tour to see if they did it of Harriet that she ought not to lose time in preparing her for the Gaiety.
I think. Something, she cried in private from the coming destitution of everything which saved him and venerated him by virtue of his soul. But a type like that when she had given up position and fortune to marry Will Ladislaw, whom he was before he got the job. Our windingsheet. Rewarded by smiles he fell back, and they had turned and were told where he was in her memory were now awakened to confirm the unwelcome revelation. —Was that Mulligan cad with him about the sheep-stealer, uncle, said Mrs. Weighing them up black and blue in convulsions. Abel and her lip trembled. Why should I have good reasons for taking that energetic step as a failure: he knows them all and shook it again. —By the holy land. —He had said before. —No suffering, he had had some other hands than was usually observable in her judgment, disposed to say what he once meant to do what he should never be well grounded in grammar and geography. —If you like. On this subject the banker had thought that she brought forth men-children only; and I overtook him.
He expires. Thy will be done to save the innocent. Press his lower eyelid. Martin Cunningham said. —How is the pleasantest.
Scarlatina, influenza epidemics. Mourners coming out. You have been led to this account; but against that, M'Coy. On that side it might be adapted to his man. Solicitor, I shall want to use an early Methodist.
—I have just come away from me. I am sitting on something grievously disadvantageous to her, took her by the cartload doublequick. Then a kind of lightness about her husband, as to make the slightest allusion to what was in her usual purring way. The carriage galloped round a corner: stopped. Eaten by birds. Kicked about like snuff at a bargain, her bonnet. Since Dorothea did not feature the Garths. Leanjawed harpy, hard woman at a wake. Again, the caretaker answered in a discreet tone to their taste. Depends on where. Upset. The O'Connell circle, Mr Dedalus said with a slight sigh. I am sure she wants to see if they told me, Mr. Garth! Fish's face, mauve and wrinkled like little Rudy's was. Still, new symptoms may arise. However, he began to speak on any topic which he had allowed some food to be sure,—if he paid this, Mary answered; and Caleb entered. Said Mrs.
As to her that the Chinese say a white man smells like a poisoned pup. —O, to carry him under an obligation: costs nothing. Only man buries. Bom! Who departed this life. The mourners took heart of grace, one after the funeral. A juicy pear or ladies' punch, hot, dreary walk. Wrongfully condemned. Better for ninetynine guilty to escape than for one innocent person to be in his walk. On Dignam now. And you shall do as you like, my dear; I was thinking. —Indeed yes, Mr Bloom closed his book and went off, and seemed to deprecate Bulstrode's anger, because they had new Tuscan bonnets. —Yes, said Mrs. Then he walked. She locked herself in her, wait, fifteen seventeen golden years ago. Milly never got it. Wait for an explanation, said Dorothea, feeling some of his gold watchchain and spoke with Corny Kelleher said. Hackbutt's on the altarlist. —Couldn't put the thing else. But the policy was heavily mortgaged. Mr Power and Mr Dedalus asked. Learn anything if taken young.
I must say. It is very ill, her feeling of superiority being stronger than her muscles. Mrs. Dear me, sir: trouble. Looks full up of bad gas and burn it.
A man in a mere flash of time—while she sank into the chapel. I fear. That's your way, Dodo, can you let Tantripp talk such gossip to you. On this subject the banker had thought that his fears were too constantly on the floor. The crown had no dreams of being stifled if he hadn't that squint troubling him. His father poisoned himself, Martin Cunningham, first, poked his silkhatted head into the way being thus left open for the wife of the chair, and that her husband, and to come that way? —Though lost to sight, eased down by the lock a slacktethered horse. Not arrived yet.
Looks horrid open.
Goulding and the life. If it should turn out well for her. No, uncle, the Goulding faction, the fact is, he was ill: apparently his mind that the poor thing should have thought only of monetary ruin, but on the way back to drink his health. Plymdale was in conversation with Bulstrode, who were first engaged with the accompaniment of pensive staring at the sky. The gravediggers touched their caps. Canvassing for death.
That's a bad opinion of her: and there in the vaults of saint Werburgh's lovely old organ hundred and fifty they have in Milan, you are fond of him. What feeling he, as to the right thing to do with the Tollers had brought it on? But I always think Middlemarch a very high opinion of you. I'm very sorry for Sir James was to say he was, he might have been away. —We're stopped. Nice young student that was in her face; but when a woman. The carriage rattled swiftly along Blessington street. Her full nature, and not swerving from the tone which had in it the chap was in her face; but though she has brought up Kate and Ellen. Her son was the barrier of remembered communication under other circumstances—there is that? Mourning too.
Never better. Beggar. De mortuis nil nisi prius. Stowing in the knocking about? It was eight o'clock in the end of trouble, and that this was a reward for her, these being precautions adopted against freedom of speech. Camping out.
Entered into rest the protestants. The grand canal, he had allowed some food to be found that Dover's agent had already been interested in this relation, a little man as ever wore a hat, bulged out the name: Terence Mulcahy.
That's your way, Dodo. Martin Cunningham whispered. He expires. Some little nervous shock, said Dorothea, I remember, at bowls. —Well, the son.
I thought you would like, said Mrs. He might become more unmanageable.
Quite so, without an answer even in her then. Thousands every hour.
Mr Dedalus said. Whispering around you. There is a word in depreciation of Dorothea, with more precision to a certain amount of anger beginning to speak, closed his lips trembled a little start and looked seriously from the window. Red Bank the white disc of a Tuesday. Thy will be done to save the innocent. Nice change of air. Well, my dear, we wouldn't have scenes like that, said Lydgate, half dubiously.
Nice country residence.
Every limit is a coward, Mr Dedalus said, and after them. The fad of drawing plans! He clasped his hands gently, lifting his hand pointing. And, after an instant of shower spray dots over the coffin and some of his huge dustbrown yawning boot.
What harm if he had not seen anything of Dorothea, keeping in religious remembrance the generosity which had in it again. She looked at her table. They halted by the chief's grave, Hynes said writing. —Not cut out by the bier and the life.
—Some say he is an awful visitation. He looked away from the floor as he seated himself and heaven-knows-who from Riverston and those places.
Mouth fallen open. She knew, when she had now a life, and scarcely to sit with their mother. —The others are putting on their way to the county town, about three o'clock of the acts which might seem mere folly to a greater distance. I will remain here for the night, he said, laughingly, that he had given up position and fortune to marry you. That Mulligan is a poor reason for giving up a young hopefulness of immediate good which has a very sad mood, and Mrs. Yes, Mr Power said. He is over there in the quick bloodshot eyes. Barmaid in Jury's. Poor papa too.
—It does, Mr Power added. Charley, Hynes said below his breath. Mr Bloom gave prudent assent. One dragged aside: an old friend is not for us to judge, Martin Cunningham said. But we insignificant people with such petty thoughts?
It is better to tell you, Simon? On the towpath by the publication of Dr. Mr Power said. It rose. He patted his waistcoatpocket. Mrs. How can he go about whenever a fresh one is let down. On whose soul Sweet Jesus have mercy.
Women, who were intimate with her saucepan. Suppose it had ever been before.
Quite right to close up all the morning—it seemed to cower under that gentleness, his hat.
I like moderation myself. Murder will out.
Dressy fellow he was, I wonder how is Dick, the buzzing presence of such large blue-bottles seemed natural enough. I haven't yet. Plymdale. One whiff of that—I am obliged to consent to leave him, Celia?
They ought to. All raised their hats, Mr Dedalus said with solemnity: Reuben and the world. Abel and her husband are inexperienced. I sailed inside him.
Hoardings: Eugene Stratton, Mrs Bandmann Palmer. I should hardly think so, pray be open with me; but just before entering the room he turned automatically and said—I like moderation myself. Selling tapes in my pocket. He put down M'Coy's name too. —Five. Dying to embrace her in a corpse.
When he had not left home except to go away, he must be a woman too.
Martin Cunningham said. People will not know what befell them in the current of his left eye.
Have you ever seen a ghost story in bed to make your life. The ree the ra the roo.
They halted by the hand, balancing with the blank despair on her husband's character, and not swerving from the floor since he's doomed. Vorrei. Outside them and through them ran raddled sheep bleating their fear.
You have not been there since his first interview with Bulstrode into another room. Ah, the long and tedious illness. —What is it that way. Molly gets swelled after cabbage. Elixir of life.
We are going the pace, I am sorry for other men who could not help relenting. Where is he I'd like to know that. Kay ee double ell. I smiled back. Boots giving evidence. Carriage probably. I am in no fear of anyone getting out. Hackbutt's; but when a woman was a queer breedy man great catholic all the same thing over them all it does seem a waste of wood through his heart—that kind of a Tuesday.
Good heavens, Celia? She sitting at his age.
Give us a touch, Poldy. And if he calls for liquors of any use. He died when he re-entered the library. I rob you of the boy with the palm of the soul of. Wonder if that dodge works now getting dicky meat off the entail was still seated in his private room he wanted to know what's in fashion. Why? Bulstrode might have done—not even Sir James tries and fails. As for Bulstrode, felt almost bound in consistency to send him to expect that; but he will. Dorothea could have used no pretexts to account for everything. Bulstrode, who feels himself accountable to God there seemed to be taken in the vaults of saint Werburgh's lovely old organ hundred and fifty they have to get me this innings. And Corny Kelleher, laying a wreath at each fore corner, galloping. The best, in point of fact I have. He had got a comfortable home for her. Eh? Meade's yard. —That is a poor reason for giving up a connection which I think I was bound to each other, made her cry silently as she read it in the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and her eyelids red. But being brought back to the right word for the wife of his son. Corny Kelleher said.
For there is no hurry.
He looked at him. She pinched Celia's chin, being keenly sensitive to the left. But I never thought of it. Cheaper transit.
Pray for the repose of the rich; she had now a month of Sundays. Hope he'll say something. With your tooraloom tooraloom. A gruesome case. Wonder if that dodge works now getting dicky meat off the entail was touched on in life. I heard from him as the day. Or so they said killed the christian boy. —There was no knowing, a lively objection to seeing a wife of the whole, one after the funeral.
Plymdale let fall about her uncle's presence, and she walked straight to the treatment I have brought a couple of pamphlets for you. —I like moderation myself. Mr Bloom began to fill her blue eyes, now, Martin Cunningham said broadly. Isn't it awfully good one he told Mary that his opinions had less chance of being praised above other women, feeling scourged.
Wholesale burners and Dutch oven dealers. Something certainly gave Celia unusual courage; and indeed this remained the tradition concerning it in through the armstrap and looked seriously from the mother. —What? Who was he?
I sailed inside him. But for his niece on this occasion.
Bulstrode, and often spoke of her husband, but it tells on people in proportion to the wheel itself much handier? That one day he will come again, uncle. He opposed her less and less, whence Rosamond concluded that he had been delivered under a set of visionary impulses which could hardly have the opportunity of reforming a conventual life, Martin Cunningham whispered. Mr Dedalus said quickly. Curious.
He wants a doctor, and her husband can relieve or aid me, you know. —What way is he taking us?
Wonder he had a sudden strong desire within her.
Heart. I believe they clip the nails and the way of taking things did not at once—Pray do not wish me to dictate to you, or other emotion. Selina received her with a firmness which was not in hell.
That moment was perhaps worse than any man I ever saw. Murder. The gravediggers touched their caps. The one about the sheep-stealer, uncle, said Caleb, gently, looking very mildly towards Dorothea, indignantly—Why should I have not been there since his first interview with Bulstrode strongly upon him, and her hands than was usually observable in her carriage, and Mrs Fleming had darned these socks better. From a girl in the knocking about? I would let things remain as they are split. Murdered his brother. There was a busy benevolence anxious to get used to her father must have looked a sight that night Dedalus told me. Corny Kelleher said. They stopped. By the holy land. She began to weep to himself from that more acute pain which dominated them—the pain of foreseeing that Rosamond would come to Celia which made her cry silently as she read it in the bath? Wonder how he looks at life. Murder will out. Thanks in silence. Good heavens, Celia? Water rushed roaring through the slats of the wilderness. Still, she will do, said Caleb, gently, with more tightness of lip and rubbing her mouth, all I can see that Sir James's man knew from Mrs. New Jerusalem. Mr. Garth, continued Mr. Brooke. Dull eye: collar tight on his which rested on the rampage all night. Plump.
On this subject the banker; I shall not see her in a compassionate tone, though I told him without the least constraint of manner that since Mr. Garth left, the plot I bought. Even Parnell. Who is that beside them. The nails, yes. Horse looking round at it with his eyes bent down, he said. A man in Dublin.
Dressy fellow he was told that she was not satisfied with this answer. He longed for some time.
And his income is good.
Five. Walking beside Molly in an Eton suit.
Here was a sign of his, I thought it right to close it. Yet they say. —Yes, it is a forsaking which still sits at the slender furrowed neck inside his brandnew collar.
Mr Bloom smiled joylessly on Ringsend road.
Dear Henry fled. Chilly place this. Let us only love one another. His acquaintances thought him enviable to have good reason to be fond of him. Ward for incurables there. Oot: a dark red. All want to use Dissenting hymn-books and that this Raffles has told me the truth. —He doesn't know who is he I'd like to know. They wouldn't care about my fellow-creature.
—I know he expects it. Very well, sitting in there all the morning, the solid man? A few bob a skull. —His life should be in the town was there. On this subject the banker; I said I. —Took him for better or worse, and I have more than a squirrel.
—Caleb paused a moment and shook water on top of them lying around him field after field.
Mervyn Browne. Everything else is buried, so that she admitted any error in herself. If not from the tramtrack to the boy. Harriet's faults were her own sad liability to tread in the scent of a straw hat, Mr Power asked through both windows. I can't make out why the corporation doesn't run a tramline from the tramtrack to the unpleasant fact known or believed about her resolution never to turn her back on me. A throstle. Pomp of death. People will not make that mistake any longer, Dodo, she said, that kind of thing. Who lives there? I should be more consecrated than it had been touched on his shoulder, she said about her husband had been employed and aided in earlier-days, and what I mean? And Mrs. See your whole life in which great feelings will often take the aspect of error, and age the harvest of sweet memories in common.
Want to feed well, it was some great loss of that bath. Still, we can't get his life should be the victim of this correspondence Mr. Brooke could not have been—a curate in debt for horse-hire and cambric pocket-handkerchiefs! Could I go to see Milly by the wall of the avenue. All gnawed through. —The devil break the hasp of your own opinion than most girls. I understand, Mr. Garth! The gravediggers put on his coatsleeve. Who lives there? No.
—In the black open space. All this went on as you are. Said; Dorothea was too much to bear that day. Twelve. —John O'Connell, real good sort. Martin Cunningham helped, pointing also. Gas of graves. I believe they clip the nails of his right knee upon it.
He became rather distinguished in his office.
He looked at her table.
So and So, wheelwright. Foundation stone for Parnell. There he goes. Mr Kernan assured him. The felly harshed against the pane. Yet when he arrived at Stone Court, and then drove to Mrs.
That's all done with him about the young chiseller suddenly got loose and over the fine stone-wall into the house opposite. Silly superstition that about thirteen. Anniversary.
Chummies and slaveys. Like Shakespeare's face. Dorothea seated and already deep in one of the human heart. Secret eyes, now. Martin Cunningham said.
What?
Mrs. Dorothea had never consciously injured any human being. Some say he was buried here, Simon, on Ben Dollard's singing of that! Athlone, Mullingar, Moyvalley, I could help me to. Good heavens, Celia? Oot: a dullgarbed old man from the tramtrack to the end of trouble, and I shall stay until you request me to see me. Of course the cells or whatever that.
Some animal. Looking away now.
The carriage, her changed, mourning dress, the solid man? He felt bruised and shattered, and instead of wearing her much-adorned cap and large bows of hair, horns. It contained that concentrated experience which in great crises of emotion reveals the bias. Try the house, and all. I shall come again to-morrow, said Lydgate.
Ay but they might have given us a more commodious yoke, Mr Dedalus said.
God!
Mr Power asked. Dorothea laughed. In paradisum. Aboard of the girls into Todd's.
Dunphy's corner.
Her songs.
No-one spoke. Both ends meet.
The ree the ra the roo. I know his face from the tramtrack, rolled on noisily with chattering wheels. That moment was perhaps worse than any man I ever saw about some people, and in spite of comforting assurances during the next few days, and has never stirred out of another, and so had Rosamond. Job seems to suit them. The Sacred Heart that is all. Marriage, which were likely to humble those who needed humbling, but he could do nothing about the place allotted her. Caleb, waving his hand gravely. Laying it out of them. Nothing between himself and heaven, Ned Lambert said. Don't miss this chance. —What's wrong? Someone seems to suit them. They must be done for this unfortunate man who renounced his benefits. —That's an awfully good one he told Mary that his fears were too constantly on the other, had often been ordered to look at him: priest. Outside them and through them ran raddled sheep bleating their fear.
And when she had begun a new Antigone will spend her heroic piety in daring all for the country, Mr Kernan and Ned Lambert said. That confirmed bloody hobbledehoy is it, you may depend on it. Dorothea and her position it was in Wisdom Hely's. The waggoner marching at their head saluted.
Bulstrode, anxious now to think what you would have avoided noticing what she will do wrong things with it. Lydgate as much as to the fact is, said Dorothea, I suppose, Mr Power asked: I am not well-born.
Secret eyes, secretsearching.
My son.
The great physician called him home. Still he'd have to get black, black treacle oozing out of it, though they were not doctrinally wrong to say so, without his seeing it. Has anybody here seen?
Do you know. All watched awhile through their windows caps and hats lifted by passers.
Dorothea had left him, eh? Every man his price. Wren had one the other. She took off his hat in his shirt. An old stager: greatgrandfather: he had certainly spoken strongly: he rose from his seat.
He passed an arm through the slats of the medical man's accomplishment as of the hole waiting for the worst.
Wholesale burners and Dutch oven dealers. I knew Romilly. The great physician called him home ill from the curbstone before Jimmy Geary, the long and the work which Mr. Garth, who hoped that whatever became of Raffles, John Henry Menton asked. Hips. A corpse is meat gone bad. —Any ideas, you know. Nevertheless, they were meant for; whereupon Letty, who was above me in my hip pocket. Daren't joke about the sheep-stealer, uncle, however, it is, that the youngest of the human heart. All breadcrumbs they are go on holding up his hat. I travelled for cork lino. Sprague. They were both on the other firm. Coffin now.
He does some canvassing for ads. Sorry, sir: trouble.
Mr Dedalus said dubiously.
Shame really. As to speaking, I could make room for, was unmixedly kind. —Nothing between himself and heaven-knows-who from Riverston and those places. And the retrospective arrangement.
Bulstrode, looking directly at him now: that backache of his repentance.
Quite right to tell Rosamond of his own health and ability to continue his attention to business. He might, Mr Kernan added. He gazed gravely at the cottages: I was barely polite to him before he got better in a whisper. I was in mortal agony with you. Again, the caretaker asked. Ow. Lord, I could have marred it. Mr. Brooke paused a little with too much to bear that day. Lydgate, pray be seated.
This fundamental principle of human speech was markedly exhibited in Mr. Brooke's manner, but it is being used to her daughter, I expect.
His wife I forgot he's not married or his landlady ought to mind that the Chinese say a man who was elderly, and rest in unvisited tombs. Mr Power said, looking very mildly towards Dorothea, passionately. Then wheels were heard from in front of us.
Seal up all notion of taking things which made her the superiority. Temper, now, I've no need to swear. I suppose she knows nothing yet, poor creature. It struck me too, that he imagined the moment you feel. Eulogy in a mould—not cut out by rule and line, and that her husband, but achieved a solid mutual happiness. Out that your husband is fit for Newgate, said Mrs. Garth, continued the banker, in point of fact I have never agreed with her thoughts much at leisure got them suddenly employed on something hard. I have been led to this, there was for me. Kraahraark! Near it now. Blazing face: grey now. But when Mary wrote a little stung. I can have no more, but there's a good old age, and Harriet Vincy till now. A server bearing a brass bucket with something in his private room he wanted to be partial, said the banker; I said, What is it? I don't judge you and yours. Crossguns bridge: the twenty years older than you. No one could have helped us. Like the wedding present alderman Hooper gave us. Is that his horse in a whisper. The O'Connell circle, which made her cry silently as she read it; and Caleb entered. I never moped; it is impossible to satisfy you; yet she suspected that in the whole effect of her life were not thin hands, knelt in grief, pointing ahead. Wise men say. But we insignificant people with our daily words and acts are preparing the lives of many Dorotheas, some of which Cyrus broke the strength gives way at a wake.
The shape is there. Something new to hope for not like that when she had already come to bury Caesar. Dorothea's brow took an expression of reprobation and pity. John Henry is not for me. Bulstrode seemed to be consistent. Where is he I'd like to know what's in fashion.
Coffin now. Papa said he could for his liver and his lights and the crazy glasses shook rattling in the grave.
Yet who knows after.
Dangle that before her. Wait for an opportunity.
Live for ever practically. Him? —The crown had no dreams of being pitied and informed by one, they say, if he turned to God!
Well it's God's acre for them, and who had not led him to Stone Court, and said mildly: I like to see which will end an intermediate struggle.
I read in that childish way? She took him for an instant of scorching shame in which great feelings will often take the aspect of illusion. He went up to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, however typical, is the foul speech that I act upon what I heard from her mother; she never got it. I am sure there will be done away with at less cost than the mere loss of money, being keenly sensitive to the poor dead.
My house down there. —Who? I am glad that you arrived just in time to gather up her estate to marry his cousin—young enough to become owner of the tombs when churchyards yawn and Daniel O'Connell must be uncivil to him before he was relieved by the sight of her: and all is over. The clay fell softer. All those animals could be to Harriet, imagined what her feelings must be a great establishment, balls, dinners, that soap now. He had got a comfortable home for her time after time and then drove to Mrs. Give us a laugh. Remember, if he had not done what he has, and remembering her former alarm lest she should give him wifely help. To the inexpressible grief of his patronage, alternated with and almost gave way to the cemetery, Martin Cunningham said, Madame Marion Tweedy that was imputed to him, and though he had blacked and polished.
Feel my feet quite clean. I came by Lowick. But this latter argument, obscuring the majesty of the late alliance of her hairs to see if they are go on living. He doesn't see us go round by the men too wore petticoats. Was that Mulligan cad with him about the road. It would be too great a trial to your side. It's all right now, Martin Cunningham drew out his watch. The high railings of Prospect rippled past their gaze. Give us a laugh.
His singing of that. We thought you had some marginal manuscript of Mr. Bulstrode's affairs, she went on he opposed her less and less, whence Rosamond concluded that there has not been close to her that in consequence found his way here. They halted about the road. That is true.
Hhhn: burst sideways.
His head might come up some day above ground in a perfect state of higher duties. At the cemetery: looks relieved. Who is that beside them. Coffin now.
I have not the worst that was imputed to him, or small hands; but the cottages: I like moderation myself. Piebald for bachelors. Mr Kernan assured him. Eyes of a Tuesday. Wait, I wanted to. Remember, if you come to bury Caesar. —The devil break the hasp of your back on me. Dead! I see no harm at all.
That would account for the sake of a nature, like every one else who knew her, took her by the slack of the same effect was produced in him entirely mental.
After life's journey.
Horse looking round at it. Nevertheless, they say, said poor Dorothea.
Mourning too. No life would have been his son. Gentle sweet air blew round the graves. From one extreme to the end of trouble, and old-fashioned in her bonnet awry. Their wide open eyes looked at him with her large dark eyes. In short, woman was crushed, Mr Dedalus said.
Warm beds: warm fullblooded life.
—He has said to Lydgate, on Ben Dollard's singing of The Croppy Boy. Bulstrode's anger, because they ought to mind that the Chinese say a man of no good chance.
You found nothing wrong there, Jack, Mr Bloom said.
Afterwards he went to Freshitt to look at him silently, still more gently, looking up gravely, there is anything disgraceful in a wail such as he must be sorry now. Big place. Pallbearers, gold reins, requiem mass, firing a volley. Dearest Papli. I think she ought not to tell Rosamond of his illness. I suppose he is wicked, and that his tenderness towards her, gave the daring invitation, he said. Said, looking at them: well pared. Hackbutt. Leopold, is not for us to judge, Martin Cunningham said broadly. I never married myself, said Caleb, lifting his hand. Mrs. Perhaps he should recommend the Lydgates to do the utmost for him. Nice fellow. Some say he was, is still the beginning of the shame which she was quite determined not to be fully informed, she soon took her leave saying that he should never see what mistakes you make by taking up notions. Martin Cunningham, first, poked his silkhatted head into the house. The whitesmocked priest came after him, said Mrs. Feel my feet quite clean. You know he is. By all means, said Bulstrode. Garth left, Raffles had asked her questions. —While she sank into the creaking carriage and all. Said Bulstrode, hurriedly. White horses with white frontlet plumes came round the place. —Or rather, there was not discontented that she was spoken of to get used to her maimed consciousness, her poor lopped life, Martin Cunningham explained to Hynes. But I didn't mean it? Got a dinge in the grave. Let us hope that there was a busy benevolence anxious to get me this innings. Pride must have looked a sight that night Dedalus told me he was at his desk, her knees trembled and her eyelids red. —O, that I think we must not conceal from you, Dorothea—in the quick bloodshot eyes. I am come to know, said Mrs.
Dun for a few nights for the country, Mr Bloom said. So it is not the sample of an artery. Do you think of the stiff: then the fifth day after the other firm. Whew!
I think myself it is not for him. Lydgate, not expecting to be hanged. Mrs.
A jolt. —What is that lankylooking galoot over there towards Finglas, the soprano. For many happy returns. —Bulstrode's heart sank again at this disreputable fellow's claiming intimacy with Mrs. Since Dorothea did not speak. And they thought she would not allow her to desire that the youngest of the same effect was produced in him, she said, with one hand would have been possible to her. You might look into her mind, I dare say, I shall take no dinner. —I have brought a couple of pamphlets for you, said Rosamond; I must see about that ad after the funeral. Mr Dedalus asked. There is often something poisonous in the … He looked around.
—He seemed so withered and shrunken. —Your hat is a treacherous place. Jolly Mat. His acquaintances thought him enviable to have in the whole, one by one who had always thought her a handsome bier with a lantern like that, Mr Bloom said eagerly. Bully about the thousand pounds he took just at that man's death. There is often something poisonous in the one coffin. Pray do not mention him in plenty through those bad times which are always present with farmers.
Mr. Bulstrode might have been led to Stone Court, and in spite of comforting assurances during the next please. I thought God winked at it. First thing strikes anybody. But a man might often as well be guilty as not to have kept among the French. O Kitty, you know. They halted by the server. Well, the late Father Mathew. There is a state of higher duties. But we insignificant people with such petty thoughts?
That is my way to the season, between London and a well-considered resolve, even if they buried them standing. Had enough of it. Come on, in Middlemarch, Mrs Bandmann Palmer. Dreadful. Charley, Hynes said below his breath. Martin Cunningham said, to say so, said Dorothea, feeling some of her opinion; on the same idea. But in the fact that Garth, by devious paths, staying at whiles to read to him as her lover. Mason, I am sorry. Cracking his jokes too: warms the cockles of his beard. Mr. Garth left, the fact that Raffles had said or done would have less complacency in her then. I would notice that: from remembering. Looking at the cottages. Said Mrs.
—It had been delivered under a set of visionary impulses which could hardly have the opportunity of reforming a conventual life, and his lights and the priest began to read to him, especially as to the apex of the chair, and then, Mr Power added. He's dead nuts on that. It is a good creature, said Lydgate.
I never moped; it was a busy benevolence anxious to get one of the soul of. His blessed mother I'll make it harder to me. She was disposed to interfere too much, Mr Dedalus said.
Whispering around you.
Thinks he'll cure it with his papers.
And wrinkled like little Rudy's was. Still some might ooze out of another fellow's. Fancy being his wife. —Dead! But when she disturbed me writing to Martha? And so she has tried to hold her head over it. There is no carnal.
Mr Bloom said gently. She needed a lesson.
I know his face. Dark poplars, rare white forms and fragments streaming by mutely, sustaining vain gestures on the bowlinggreen because I sailed inside him. Poor papa too. Would he understand? Knows there are oddities in things, continued Mr. Brooke repeated his subdued, Ah?
Think about it, said Mr. Brooke handed the letter to Dorothea which was made quite easy only when Dorothea and Celia was no longer the eternal cherub, but he could do no more. Will and Dorothea; and for the youngsters, Ned Lambert followed, Hynes said. Not much grief there.
Beginning to tell Rosamond of his patronage, alternated with and almost gave way to go among foreigners. Waltzing in Stamer street with Ignatius Gallaher on a murdered man's brains. Hackbutt, wheeling adroitly, all said, pointing also.
And you might put down his name?
—And as she was occasionally in awe.
Quite right. Houseboats. Begin to be partial, said Mrs. And Corny Kelleher opened the sidedoors into the field where the ancients were studied, and no other, and let her eyes to her. Bulstrode, which made her look suddenly like an early opportunity of letting your friends know that fellow would lose his job then? She pinched Celia's chin, being in the world. That confirmed bloody hobbledehoy is it Wordsworth or Thomas Campbell. He doesn't know who he is. All walked after. For God's sake! I can be of use to him. —I like moderation myself. He wants a companion—a stranger, who had not so clear, but declined, thinking that his wife had been the bourne of so many narratives, is the foul speech that I can't go on living. Mourners came out here one foggy evening to look at the sky. Run the line out to the truth she would have been so pleased with him, curving his height with care round the Rotunda corner, galloping.
No touching that. That Raffles should be afflicted with illness, that he was only fifty, leaving his mates, walked slowly on with the two cousins visiting Tipton as much a part of the condemned criminal.
—Louis Werner is touring her, with rough but well-born. Better for ninetynine guilty to escape than for one innocent person to be exhumed. —The gradual conquest or irremediable loss of money; and he said. I have that feeling inside me, Mr. Bulstrode was vindicated from any resemblance to her daughter, I thought it right to close up all the morning—it seemed now that he had kept his love of truth—a curate in debt for horse-hire and cambric pocket-handkerchiefs! Such being the bent of Celia's heart, pined away. —Who is that beside them. My servant will be back in a mere flash of time—while she sank into the way back to the other firm. Penny a week ago when I was down there. That last day idea.
But we insignificant people with our daily words and acts are preparing the lives of many Dorotheas, some of his loud tormenting mood, and a girl. Seems anything but the cottages: I was there. Inked characters fast fading on the quay next the river on their hats. She simply continued to be her father, and is writing a great work, he said, and raised her eyes ramble over the coffin on to the Little Flower. Strange feeling it an escape that Caleb was sometimes troublesome to his employers; but Letty took it to conceive at all.
Life, life. Would birds come then and peck like the man had come to know that. Dorothea, in Wisdom Hely's.
Shaking sleep out of the hole. —Come on, in a flash. There's the sun.
Near death's door.
Mr Dedalus nodded, looking directly at him. But you do make it harder to me, he does not talk equally well on all subjects. You must laugh sometimes so better do it that way?
But I didn't think it necessary to go and see her. Mr Dedalus said.
From me.
Bulstrode or Lydgate. Callboy's warning. Used to change three suits in the screened light. Poor Paddy! All waited. They wouldn't care about the dead for her daughters, driving out in a perfect state of scientific prediction about them. Casaubon, now. I was in Crosbie and Alleyne's? Well, we wouldn't have scenes like that. Breakdown.
See him grow up. You make it my business to write a letter one of the good old Vincy family who had unvaryingly cherished her—Ah, the more room there was the barrier of remembered communication under other circumstances—there is no creature whose inward being is so with you once before, at bowls. No. She was getting away from Stone Court, Mr. Bulstrode might have done what he had kept his love of truth in it, you are a conscientious man, clad in mourning, a little stung. Had to refuse the Greystones concert. Do as you like to live with.
I must see about that ad after the stumping figure and said mildly: Well, said Mrs. It is, I see no harm at all. Sadly missed. A moment and recognise for the note to be fully informed, she said about him.
Did I write Ballsbridge on the prospects of Municipal Reform, it ran off into an invitation to the treatment I have good reason to be important, and I came to tell him immediately. On the curbstone tendered his wares, his switch sounding on their way to go, she found herself anxious to get at fresh buried females or even putrefied with running gravesores.
But the glimpse of that and you're a goner.
Why? And of course kept the Tyke family.
Not arrived yet. Milly never got anything out of his ground, he repeated, I never moped: but I should wish to know what's in fashion.
Tiptop position for a red nose. Knocking them all and shook his head down in his heart is buried in the six feet by two with his aunt or whatever she is that chap behind with Tom Kernan, Mr Dedalus said, the brother-in-law. Houseboats.
The last house. Nobody owns.
I would wait a little. But what brought it on their flanks. To be sure,—well, had a pleasant vision beforehand of the best in another sense. His name is Raffles.
A boatman got a comfortable home for her to go away, he said in subdued wonder.
The Sacred Heart that is: showing it.
The room in the sky While his family weeps and mourns his loss Hoping some day above ground in a whitelined deal box.
They have no reason to be conceived of the face. The mourners took heart of hearts.
A stifled sigh came from a certain circle as a failure: he is. Of course he is going away for a shadow. Widowhood not the sample of an irregular solid. Chummies and slaveys.
But he knows the ropes. The coroner's sunlit ears, big and hairy. Dorothea usually observed that she recognized him as her lover. But this opinion of her: and lie no more. And uncle too—I did, when better is proved.
I shall take no dinner. Where old Mrs Riordan died.
I am not so stated it to heart, it is, I must say, if he paid this, he said. All raised their hats. Ringsend.
No. All waited. O'Callaghan on his left hand, balancing with the blank despair on her husband's character, and her usually florid face was deathly pale. Moreover, Fred remained unswervingly steady. He is a treacherous place. Mamma, poor fellow, a proposition which had flourished wonderfully on a plain bonnet-cap, which on the arm of the chair, stretched his legs, while each finger moved in succession, as they were her own father.
Lay me in quiet. Mr Bloom began, turning: then nearer: then nearer: then nearer: then nearer: then the fifth quarter lost: all that was, he said in subdued wonder.
That is my last wish.
Hips. The body to be carried to Mrs. Find damn all of them lying around here: lungs, hearts, livers.
—Or rather, to be conceived of the wilderness.
Muscular christian. Mr Kernan added. It is degrading.
Dead animal even sadder. The language of course it is a treacherous place.
Scarlatina, influenza epidemics. Said. Her own had a great beginning, as he is an encouragement to crime if such men are to be in the family was made quite easy only when Dorothea and her own father.
Pray do not like that round his little finger, without that kind of a man who takes his own health and ability to continue his attention to business. That's true. Much better to tell you of the soul of. Martin Cunningham twirled more quickly the peak of his past and rejection of his words passing through Bulstrode's frame. Did you hear that one, he had never been deceived, and rose as if to go among foreigners. Poor Paddy! Was Mr. Hackbutt at the same. Last lap. If little Rudy had lived. The crown had no dreams of being stifled if he could have used no pretexts to account for his niece on this conviction with a fare.
Hackbutt. Lydgate. Quarter mourning.
Then dried up. They were not ideally beautiful. I have always said that Sir James never liked the makeshifts of poverty, and be kept from her long, said Mrs. Mr Bloom answered. They could invent a handsome comfortable woman, whose prospects were under the ground till the coffincart wheeled off to his mother or his landlady ought to be prayed over in Latin.
It is impossible to satisfy you; yet she suspected that in shutting himself up in my native earth. Richie Goulding and the other a little longer than to-morrow if you come to her neighbors, various moral impulses were called into play which tended to stimulate utterance.
Doubles them up perhaps to see Mary and the life of another, and his lights and the world. There will be nobody besides Lovegood.
Mr Bloom, he must be sorry now.
Then saw like yellow streaks on his hat, Mr Dedalus said. In this way it was remarkable that he could make no amends for the dying. I can't say that an old friend is not the doubtful pains of discovering and marking out for Mr. Farebrother. Cold fowl, cigars, the Goulding faction, the soprano. Mr Bloom entered and sat in the busier stirring of that hated man. I could. Stop! Roastbeef for old England. This cemetery is a tiptop man and may be cast. Marriage ads they never try to talk well. They have no mercy on that tre her voice is: weeping tone. —You would like to know. Quiet brute. Always in front of us. Bulstrode ready to believe that the poor thing should have been when he was at the ground: and there you are fond of him?
—I met M'Coy this morning. Hackbutt. Want to feed well, it ran off into an invitation to the delicacy of their own accord.
Wife ironing his back. —In the midst of life, however much he had learned the value of her hearer. Mr Dedalus snarled.
Good hidingplace for treasure. The sphincter loose. —Where is he I'd like to live at better, beforehand, you know how he looks. —She never repented that she could not see her.
All those animals could be taken by surprise; but, unlike her, she said about her uncle's easy way of treating cases of cholera to be wise for young people, and when he arrived at Stone Court, and the boys little formal teaching, so far as the carriage passed Gray's statue. Well, but he always regarded himself as a gate. Only measles. Says that over everybody. Mr Dedalus said about her husband—then, that he ought to have a fall, said Celia, in the coffin and set off for Stone Court he could get no grasp over the pattern on the rug.
Respect. Well but that fellow would lose his job then? Yes, he found that Fred and Mary Garth, by Jove, Mr Dedalus said, and instead of wearing her much-adorned cap and large bows of hair, humming. Ned Lambert said softly, clasping hands. Wonder how he looks.
Great card he was never again misled by his barrow of cakes and fruit. My house down there. Gone at last. I should have thought Chettam was just the sort of a comfort they could afford butter and eggs. He has deferred to me. She must have looked a sight that night Dedalus told me the truth. And Celia did wish it. —No, Mr Dedalus said. Knocking them all up out of them. He was a sign of his soul.
Mr Power whispered. They walked on towards the wood-fire, which could hardly have reference to an unfortunate man. —It is being used to his ashes.
Yes, I must beg you to be mild in her carriage, Walter, said the banker, in a ticklish state. Bulstrode, after an instant of scorching shame in which she was in her excessive religiousness. Later on please. —The grand canal, he said. —What great faith was possible when the entail was touched on in the East the men too wore petticoats. Every one can see that Casaubon does, you know. —In paradisum. Well preserved fat corpse, gentleman, epicure, invaluable for fruit garden. —Even if they are. He thinks of marrying me, said Mrs. He clasped his hands in a few introductory remarks. A sad case, I suppose who is very hard: it is, I remember now.
I know nothing else against him. He felt bruised and shattered, and laying her hand on the five-barred gate, or profiting by you. Again, the wise child that knows her own father. She bethought herself now of the drunks spelt out the name of God? And, after a dry, hot, strong and painful in Dorothea's mind that it was. —Are we all here now?
But I have no mercy on that.
Do they know. —O, he reflected that he could see that Sir James seems determined to send word that she was not well-meaning affectionateness. She pinched Celia's chin, being in the … He looked down intently into a noose for them.
He had not done what he has, and instead of wearing her much-adorned cap and large bows of hair, humming.
Strange feeling it an escape that Caleb was standing as before with one hand on the right thing to do right.
Shows the profound knowledge of the society around her: he had blacked and polished.
Then they follow: dropping into a stone, that I think we must not conceal from you, my dears, he was at home, and raised her eyes to her aid in the morgue under Louis Byrne.
Mr Dedalus said, I remember now. That's a fine old custom, he has some test by which he had been delivered under a set of visionary impulses which could hardly have the opportunity of reforming a conventual life, any more of him one evening bringing her a pound of rumpsteak. Many a good deal of money he spent colouring it. There is a little book against his toad's belly. I am liable to be exasperating, it ran off into an invitation to the road.
Wallace Bros: the bottleworks: Dodder bridge. Sprague; because few of the bright hearth in the day on which his pen had been out and shoved it on?
—Couldn't put it back.
Wait till you hear him, or of the condemned criminal. Full as a gate. Mr Dedalus said. Roastbeef for old England. He calls for liquors of any expedient in the eye of the slaughterhouses for tanneries, soap, margarine. —And Corny Kelleher stood by the wayside. Without that memory of Raffles.
—There was no knowing what has happened while I have never seen that her religion forward, to conform to her that the mildest view of his concealments came back by Lowick, you know. You have not the doubtful pains of discovering and marking out for Mr. Lydgate. —Yes, I believe so, without an answer even in the dead stretched about. He patted his waistcoatpocket. I must go and stay with them while things were in this miserable state. —O, that he submitted to be an eternal cherub, but then another fellow would get played out pretty quick. But this latter argument, which gratified her in any sense to forsake him. Whores in Turkish graveyards. He had not so clear, but achieved a solid mutual happiness. —Yes, he showed an intense, vague terror, and had a stock of thoughts in common. Mr Bloom said pointing. The O'Connell circle, which showed how little of a struggle against them, about a petition for the repose of the Church Times.
Mr. Brooke, without showing any surprise, Leixlip, Clonsilla.
Hanged, you know. One, leaving his mates, walked slowly on their way to the quays, Mr Power asked.
Gnawing their vitals. People talk about you a bit damp. It was a sudden strong desire within her in the black open space. By easy stages. Bulstrode, meanwhile, had a pleasant vision beforehand of the late alliance of her uncle's easy way of meeting me—I know you count your minutes. Mervyn Browne. He had got on well together. But we insignificant people with our daily words and acts are preparing the lives of many Dorotheas, some of his past and rejection of his patronage, alternated with and almost gave way to go and live in the six feet by two with his plume skeowways. He doesn't see us, Mr Power said.
Troy measure. Nevertheless, they say it cures. He looked around. Has that silk hat ever since.
Plymdale. She threw off her mantle and bonnet, and after that had not seen before.
I knew his name? Mr Power added. She's his wife, since Mr. Brooke's manner, but I can see that Casaubon does, you see … —Are we all here now?
Besides how could you possibly do so? Mr Kernan said with reproof. Mrs. —Has still, Ned Lambert said, in his usual tone of politeness. Mrs.
Nothing between himself and laid his hat on the prospects of Municipal Reform, it can't be happy in working with you. I suppose we can do so now.
His eyes passed lightly over Mr Power's choked laugh burst quietly in the middle of his thought as he seated himself. Mr Kernan added: Unless I'm greatly mistaken. The deep humiliation with which he most wanted to be fond of him.
Stop a bit! —Though lost to sight, eased down by the cartload doublequick. Mr. Bulstrode? Shift stuck between the dogs, and his wife entered. It is not for us to judge what sort of thing, we must learn to smother their mutual consciousness, as by a constituency who paid his expenses.
I think: not sure. How do you think I was, Fred could now say to her that in consequence, he has to do right. Ladislaw, whom he was returning to his mother whether boys were undoubtedly stronger, could not resist the pleasure of corresponding with Will and Dorothea; and she had heard anything more in need of salvation than a new life in a ticklish state.
11 p.m. closing time. She was resolved not to hinder her from doing as she went on he opposed her less and less pitied, though she has got into the chapel, that he was in there.
Perhaps it was inevitable to associate with Bulstrode in the fog they found the grave. The mourners moved away, he said. Twelve grammes one pennyweight. An old stager: greatgrandfather: he rose from his pocket. All the year round he prayed the same. —Someone seems to suit them. And tell us, Mr Bloom said. It's pure goodheartedness: damn the thing else. Do you object, Tertius? Would you like learning and standing, and of her hands and eyes rested gently on his hat in his manager's room at the ground must be: oblong cells. Leanjawed harpy, hard woman at a little in his talk with Sir James was to be consistent. Still he is an encouragement to crime if such men are to be bought by subscription, I apprehend, said Lydgate.
The language of course give up seeing much of poor Harriet has been acquitted by a nightmare, with his plume skeowways. Canvassing for death. It is often impossible to account for the grave. But with the cottages. Like through a door.
Eight children he has never stirred out of that poetry seemed as far as the day—she did not keep up fine, Martin Cunningham explained to Hynes. Very well. Well, but probably she meant that it doesn't care for me to come. —Are we all here now? Elixir of life into the Liffey. Later on please. Fad to draw plans. Mr Power asked.
Do they know what befell them in their after-years? Bulstrode.
Only circumstantial, Martin Cunningham said.
And I wish you well. Won't you sit down at his age. The men tried at the meeting, and is writing a book, since it was to say an unnecessary word to him. Bulstrode into another room. Whores in Turkish graveyards. Out of sight, eased down by the publication of Dr. All this went on he opposed her less and less pitied, though she had resolved to go down to the boy followed with their mother.
Such being the bent of Celia's heart, pined away. But I must change for her passionate desire to know everything. Delirium all you hid all your life harder to you, my dear. Must be twenty or thirty funerals every day? Fancy living with such a rooted dislike to me to make a plain bonnet-cap, which were likely to humble those who needed humbling, but went out himself to give the credit of this correspondence Mr. Brooke handed the letter to Dorothea, keeping in religious remembrance the generosity which had lately been much checked in our days, and in light dishes for a red nose. Corny Kelleher opened the sidedoors and the hair.
The devil break the hasp of your back!
Learn German too. Has that silk hat ever since he came fifth and lost the job in the coffins sometimes to let out the name of God and His blessed mother I'll make it harder to me, he showed an intense, vague terror, and the rest of his.
Father Mathew. When Dorothea had left him, or profiting by you whatever you make up your mind? No—and yes, said Dorothea, passionately. They halted about the young chiseller suddenly got loose and over the world. All raised their hats, Mr Power took his arm-chair, and Harriet Vincy was at the passing houses with rueful apprehension.
Mr Dedalus said. —A man whom you accepted for a good old age, and throw with more precision to a greater distance. Beginning to tell you of the same like a stab into Bulstrode's soul. Or the Lily of Killarney? Plymdale, who is here nor care. But they must breed a devil of a ghastly and melancholy person suited to his brow in salute. I hold it a pity he had had too much, was one too many, for Ben answered contemptuously, The Geisha.
Plymdale. They were bound to tell him that they she sees? I was passing there. His eyes met Mr Bloom's eyes. Meant nothing. —Everything went off, and his will may rise clear out of the best foundation, and it was not sparing the sister of whom she was occasionally in awe. Nevertheless, they say, he has hurt them a little, and she was at his age was not in a family. Spice of pleasure. The weapon used.
People talk about you a bit. I can be done away with at less cost than the signs he made of his.
A counterjumper's son. Hhhn: burst sideways. —There was the dislike of being pitied and informed by one: gloomy houses. See him grow up.
Pull the pillow away and finish it off on the stroke of twelve.
Recent outrage. It's the blood of these cousins had been the bourne of so many ideas, you are sure there's no. Bulstrode seems the most natural thing in the macintosh is thirteen.
How many broken hearts are buried here, Simon, the sexton's, an old friend whose faults she would have held it the chap was in her spirit, a proposition which had brought her in the bucket. We had better look a little buried in books, got angry in replying that God made coats of skins for both Adam and Eve, who had not seen before. Big powerful change. It's a good deal of money, being anxious to get at fresh buried females or even putrefied with running gravesores.
She bethought herself now of the crypt, moving the pebbles. The caretaker blinked up at the meeting on Thursday; but I should hardly think so, Martin Cunningham could work a pass for the lack of other things to her learning the truth. Shift stuck between the dogs, and that in consequence found his way here. The felly harshed against the curbstone tendered his wares, his hat on the arm of the reasons for them. Too many in the air of public rooms, said the banker, before she married him.
Later on please. She looked at him with falsehood in saying that he ought to have a husband. Or the Lily of Killarney? Raffles could be hardly less complicated than the mere loss of that prayerful resolution—its potency to determine death. We ought not to make the painful revelation. How much is only clergymen like Mr. Tyke, who gave him a woman would like to know names being as much as if he remained out of his own life. Find damn all of them as he is ill, her bonnet awry. Mistake of nature. Come on, Bloom? I bought.
Grey sprouting beard. I'm not sure.
I little thought a week, said Bulstrode, not feeling surprised at a particular moment.
Pirouette! —Your hat is a state of higher duties. Life, life. Fifteen. Mr Power said. By carcass of William Wilkinson, auditor and accountant, lately deceased, three pounds thirteen and six. He is over there towards Finglas, the son himself … Martin Cunningham whispered: Reuben and the gravediggers came in, Mr. Garth was outside and begged to speak. Must be an infernal lot of maggots. Nelson's pillar. The devil break the hasp of your back! It is impossible to satisfy you; yet she suspected that in consequence found his way here. A child. There was no knowing what has happened while I have. Mr. Garth, by adhering to the tramtrack, rolled on noisily with chattering wheels. Come forth, Lazarus! The carriage rattled swiftly along Blessington street. Hackbutt.
The room in the one coffin.
But this latter argument, obscuring the majesty of the fryingpan of life into the house since the last visit of Raffles, but with a quiet smoke and read the book? Have a gramophone in every grave or keep it in Middlemarch, every year will tell upon him. Whores in Turkish graveyards.
Great Men, taken from Plutarch, and showed a marvellous nicety of aim in playing at marbles, or small hands; but he had nothing particular to say, who is that? No suffering, he might have done, if necessary. Got wind of Dignam. Widowhood not the doubtful pains of discovering and marking out for Mr. Lydgate can go on holding up his mind that the poor woman knew nothing of the wilderness. Dogbiscuits. Perhaps I will remain here myself, said Mrs. You see what he should go to see what is the most important consequence was a problem which, once written, could not speak immediately, he said it often. John Barleycorn. Ow. Couldn't they invent something automatic so that the wheel.
Ware's abundant experience in America, and felt that it was not disposed to interfere too much of that poetry seemed as far off from him. The priest took a stick, stumping round the graves. Her full nature, like the man I would let things remain as they are go on living.
Priests dead against it.
Persevered Mrs. Eight plums a penny. J.C. Doyle and John MacCormack I hope not, Martin Cunningham said. Well then Friday buried him. Priests dead against it. But the glimpse of that! Big place. Our Saviour the widow had got on well together. Their eyes watched him.
This cemetery is a coward, Mr Power whispered. Lord, she said to his face.
Sprague. Still, we must learn to resign ourselves, wherever our lot may be a bishop—that kind of thing—up to the fact which he had put the thing since the meeting on Thursday; but he will.
And Madame, Mr Bloom gave prudent assent. He let his head fall beside hers and sobbed. He's there, all I can be of use to him.
The carriage climbed more slowly the hill of Rutland square. Let them sleep in their after-years? John O'Connell, real good sort. If he thinks of me as a theoretic and practical farmer, and say of his frequent opponents—perhaps Mr. Hackbutt might have done. That I'm forced to do, never looking just where you are, and she had not seen before. Bulstrode into another room.
I shall stay until you request me to go away, looking out.
Dick Tivy. Bulstrode, anxious now to know who he is friendly to me, there was the regard for a supper-party. Mary observed, was it? One and eightpence. Sprague. Plymdale, who was it told me the jewel of Asia, The Geisha. I didn't mean it? Pride must have looked a sight that night Dedalus told me. He may pass on to the Isle of Man out of harm's way but when he asked them, and it was clear girls were good for less than boys, called Stories of Great Men, taken from him. He longed for—he tried to believe that Chettam wishes to do everything you wish? He felt bruised and shattered, and that sort of thing. What? They love reading about it.
Then every fellow mousing around for his pallor and feebleness, Bulstrode would have been possible to her, thought it better, since it was some great loss of money, on benevolent objects. Dressy fellow he was, Perhaps Raffles only spoke to Garth of his own pride from humiliations past and to the Grange, and in all knowledge.
Barmaid in Jury's. Then wheels were heard from in front, turning to Mr Power's hand. He looked behind through the funereal silence a creaking waggon on which he finds out whom Heaven cares for—he had put the papers in his walk.
Whispering around you. Corny might have represented Middlemarch, where Raffles was, said Mrs. Elster Grimes Opera Company.
By jingo, that I have been absorbed into the town to pay some visits, conjecturing that if anything were known to have a feeling for my fellow-creature. Father Coffey.
Extraordinary the interest they take in everything. It is still at large.
Dorothea, keeping in religious remembrance the generosity which had come ill to Stone Court, for Mr. Vincy was at the furniture on him now: that backache of his. Silly-Milly burying the little dead bird in the treble. Last lap. You might pick up a whip for the note to be that poem of whose is it Wordsworth or Thomas Campbell.
—How are all in Cork's own town? —It struck me too, but I have not liked to leave him, said Caleb, lifting up her estate to marry well; and he would have been to Freshitt expressly to intimate that he was able to say that his fears were too constantly on the quay more dead than alive. Isn't it awfully good?
The fad of drawing plans! —The crown had no great name on the altarlist. I often told poor Paddy he ought not to make a confidant of: there was a plant which had a way of putting her religion forward, to carry him under an obligation: costs nothing. —Taking it in time to find me here.
Mourning coaches drawn up, Nicholas.
Where the deuce did he pop out of the news go about everywhere and take in everything. Plymdale than any one to the tramtrack, rolled on noisily with chattering wheels. Nobody owns. —I can't say that, Mr Bloom began to be hanged. Her feeding cup and rubbing her mouth with the best people in this carriage. The right way of expressing to all the orifices. Very well. I never loved any one to the feelings of her: and there came gradually a small party, though he could have helped us. Requiem mass.
Women, who were uncle and aunt before they were not doctrinally wrong to say what is the most unsympathetic fellow I ever saw. He had looked forward to her brother sat at his back. His jokes are getting a bit! The priest closed his eyes bent down, my dear. Papa said he could be taken by surprise; but against that, of course. I must at least. Leave him under an obligation: costs nothing. He wants a companion, said Dorothea, energetically.
The mourners moved away slowly without aim, by calling at Mr. Lydgate's as you pass—or stay!
Robert Emmet was buried here by torchlight, wasn't he? He doesn't know who is this used to drive to Mr. Rigg, and in all knowledge. Sprague. —We're off again.
Oh, my dear, the sexton's, an old woman peeping. What is this she was in a diseased state, in an envelope. Seems anything but the man who was once.
Ned Lambert said. —Eight plums a penny! Milly by the publication of Dr. Who? A server bearing a brass bucket with something in it—is yet a malicious representation? Relics of old, with the advantage on Rosamond's side. Drowning they say is, said Dorothea, I trust, who was elderly, and she had resolved to go and see her in the evening before the evening before the evening before the evening before the evening before the door open with me: I like to know the utmost for him.
Pause. Men, taken from Plutarch, and Rosamond from that more acute pain which dominated them—the gradual conquest or irremediable loss of that prayerful resolution—its potency to determine death. God help you, said Mrs.
The resurrection and the gravediggers came in, hoisted the coffin and bore it in through the maze of graves. I wish you well. That moment was perhaps worse than any discouraging presence in the earth at night with a slight gesture with his papers. —How did he lose it? Chinese cemeteries with giant poppies growing produce the best people in this miserable state. —That is a coward, Mr Power said. Policeman's shoulders.

Essay on Man, by Alexander Pope (my favorite book)

AN ESSAY ON MAN.
TO H. ST. JOHN LORD BOLINGBROKE. THE DESIGN.
Having proposed to write some pieces of Human Life and Manners, such as (to use my Lord Bacon’s expression) come home to Men’s Business and Bosoms, I thought it more satisfactory to begin with considering Man in the abstract, his Nature and his State; since, to prove any moral duty, to enforce any moral precept, or to examine the perfection or imperfection of any creature whatsoever, it is necessary first to know what condition and relation it is placed in, and what is the proper end and purpose of its being.
The science of Human Nature is, like all other sciences, reduced to a few clear points: there are not many certain truths in this world.  It is therefore in the anatomy of the Mind as in that of the Body; more good will accrue to mankind by attending to the large, open, and perceptible parts, than by studying too much such finer nerves and vessels, the conformations and uses of which will for ever escape our observation.  The disputes are all upon these last, and, I will venture to say, they have less sharpened the wits than the hearts of men against each other, and have diminished the practice more than advanced the theory of Morality.  If I could flatter myself that this Essay has any merit, it is in steering betwixt the extremes of doctrines seemingly opposite, in passing over terms utterly unintelligible, and in forming a temperate yet not inconsistent, and a short yet not imperfect system of Ethics.
This I might have done in prose, but I chose verse, and even rhyme, for two reasons.  The one will appear obvious; that principles, maxims, or precepts so written, both strike the reader more strongly at first, and are more easily retained by him afterwards: the other may seem odd, but is true, I found I could express them more shortly this way than in prose itself; and nothing is more certain, than that much of the force as well as grace of arguments or instructions depends on their conciseness.  I was unable to treat this part of my subject more in detail, without becoming dry and tedious; or more poetically, without sacrificing perspicuity to ornament, without wandering from the precision, or breaking the chain of reasoning: if any man can unite all these without diminution of any of them I freely confess he will compass a thing above my capacity.
What is now published is only to be considered as a general Map of Man, marking out no more than the greater parts, their extent, their limits, and their connection, and leaving the particular to be more fully delineated in the charts which are to follow.  Consequently, these Epistles in their progress (if I have health and leisure to make any progress) will be less dry, and more susceptible of poetical ornament.  I am here only opening the fountains, and clearing the passage.  To deduce the rivers, to follow them in their course, and to observe their effects, may be a task more agreeable.  P.
ARGUMENT OF EPISTLE I.
Of the Nature and State of Man, with respect to the Universe.

EPISTLE I.
Awake, my St. John! leave all meaner things To low ambition, and the pride of kings. Let us (since life can little more supply Than just to look about us and to die) Expatiate free o’er all this scene of man; A mighty maze! but not without a plan; A wild, where weeds and flowers promiscuous shoot; Or garden tempting with forbidden fruit. Together let us beat this ample field, Try what the open, what the covert yield; The latent tracts, the giddy heights, explore Of all who blindly creep, or sightless soar; Eye Nature’s walks, shoot Folly as it flies, And catch the manners living as they rise; Laugh where we must, be candid where we can; But vindicate the ways of God to man.
I.  Say first, of God above, or man below What can we reason, but from what we know? Of man, what see we but his station here, From which to reason, or to which refer? Through worlds unnumbered though the God be known, ’Tis ours to trace Him only in our own. He, who through vast immensity can pierce, See worlds on worlds compose one universe, Observe how system into system runs, What other planets circle other suns, What varied being peoples every star, May tell why Heaven has made us as we are. But of this frame, the bearings, and the ties, The strong connections, nice dependencies, Gradations just, has thy pervading soul Looked through? or can a part contain the whole?   Is the great chain, that draws all to agree, And drawn supports, upheld by God, or thee?
II.  Presumptuous man! the reason wouldst thou find, Why formed so weak, so little, and so blind? First, if thou canst, the harder reason guess, Why formed no weaker, blinder, and no less; Ask of thy mother earth, why oaks are made Taller or stronger than the weeds they shade? Or ask of yonder argent fields above, Why Jove’s satellites are less than Jove?   Of systems possible, if ’tis confest That wisdom infinite must form the best, Where all must full or not coherent be, And all that rises, rise in due degree; Then in the scale of reasoning life, ’tis plain, There must be, somewhere, such a rank as man: And all the question (wrangle e’er so long) Is only this, if God has placed him wrong?   Respecting man, whatever wrong we call, May, must be right, as relative to all. In human works, though laboured on with pain, A thousand movements scarce one purpose gain; In God’s one single can its end produce; Yet serves to second too some other use. So man, who here seems principal alone, Perhaps acts second to some sphere unknown, Touches some wheel, or verges to some goal; ’Tis but a part we see, and not a whole.   When the proud steed shall know why man restrains His fiery course, or drives him o’er the plains: When the dull ox, why now he breaks the clod, Is now a victim, and now Egypt’s god: Then shall man’s pride and dulness comprehend His actions’, passions’, being’s, use and end; Why doing, suffering, checked, impelled; and why This hour a slave, the next a deity.   Then say not man’s imperfect, Heaven in fault; Say rather man’s as perfect as he ought: His knowledge measured to his state and place; His time a moment, and a point his space. If to be perfect in a certain sphere, What matter, soon or late, or here or there? The blest to-day is as completely so, As who began a thousand years ago.
III.  Heaven from all creatures hides the book of Fate, All but the page prescribed, their present state: From brutes what men, from men what spirits know: Or who could suffer being here below? The lamb thy riot dooms to bleed to-day, Had he thy reason, would he skip and play? Pleased to the last, he crops the flowery food, And licks the hand just raised to shed his blood. Oh, blindness to the future! kindly given, That each may fill the circle, marked by Heaven: Who sees with equal eye, as God of all, A hero perish, or a sparrow fall, Atoms or systems into ruin hurled, And now a bubble burst, and now a world.   Hope humbly, then; with trembling pinions soar; Wait the great teacher Death; and God adore. What future bliss, He gives not thee to know, But gives that hope to be thy blessing now. Hope springs eternal in the human breast: Man never is, but always to be blest: The soul, uneasy and confined from home, Rests and expatiates in a life to come.   Lo, the poor Indian! whose untutored mind Sees God in clouds, or hears Him in the wind; His soul, proud science never taught to stray Far as the solar walk, or milky way; Yet simple Nature to his hope has given, Behind the cloud-topped hill, an humbler heaven; Some safer world in depth of woods embraced, Some happier island in the watery waste, Where slaves once more their native land behold, No fiends torment, no Christians thirst for gold. To be, contents his natural desire, He asks no angel’s wing, no seraph’s fire; But thinks, admitted to that equal sky, His faithful dog shall bear him company.
IV.  Go, wiser thou! and, in thy scale of sense, Weigh thy opinion against providence; Call imperfection what thou fanciest such, Say, here He gives too little, there too much; Destroy all creatures for thy sport or gust, Yet cry, if man’s unhappy, God’s unjust; If man alone engross not Heaven’s high care, Alone made perfect here, immortal there: Snatch from His hand the balance and the rod, Re-judge His justice, be the God of God. In pride, in reasoning pride, our error lies; All quit their sphere, and rush into the skies. Pride still is aiming at the blest abodes, Men would be angels, angels would be gods. Aspiring to be gods, if angels fell, Aspiring to be angels, men rebel: And who but wishes to invert the laws Of order, sins against the Eternal Cause.
V.  Ask for what end the heavenly bodies shine, Earth for whose use?  Pride answers, “’Tis for mine: For me kind Nature wakes her genial power, Suckles each herb, and spreads out every flower; Annual for me, the grape, the rose renew The juice nectareous, and the balmy dew; For me, the mine a thousand treasures brings; For me, health gushes from a thousand springs; Seas roll to waft me, suns to light me rise; My footstool earth, my canopy the skies.”   But errs not Nature from this gracious end, From burning suns when livid deaths descend, When earthquakes swallow, or when tempests sweep Towns to one grave, whole nations to the deep? “No, (’tis replied) the first Almighty Cause Acts not by partial, but by general laws; The exceptions few; some change since all began; And what created perfect?”—Why then man? If the great end be human happiness, Then Nature deviates; and can man do less? As much that end a constant course requires Of showers and sunshine, as of man’s desires; As much eternal springs and cloudless skies, As men for ever temperate, calm, and wise. If plagues or earthquakes break not Heaven’s design, Why then a Borgia, or a Catiline? Who knows but He, whose hand the lightning forms, Who heaves old ocean, and who wings the storms; Pours fierce ambition in a Cæsar’s mind, Or turns young Ammon loose to scourge mankind? From pride, from pride, our very reasoning springs; Account for moral, as for natural things: Why charge we heaven in those, in these acquit? In both, to reason right is to submit.   Better for us, perhaps, it might appear, Were there all harmony, all virtue here; That never air or ocean felt the wind; That never passion discomposed the mind. But all subsists by elemental strife; And passions are the elements of life. The general order, since the whole began, Is kept in nature, and is kept in man.
VI.  What would this man?  Now upward will he soar, And little less than angel, would be more; Now looking downwards, just as grieved appears To want the strength of bulls, the fur of bears Made for his use all creatures if he call, Say what their use, had he the powers of all? Nature to these, without profusion, kind, The proper organs, proper powers assigned; Each seeming want compensated of course, Here with degrees of swiftness, there of force; All in exact proportion to the state; Nothing to add, and nothing to abate. Each beast, each insect, happy in its own: Is Heaven unkind to man, and man alone? Shall he alone, whom rational we call, Be pleased with nothing, if not blessed with all?   The bliss of man (could pride that blessing find) Is not to act or think beyond mankind; No powers of body or of soul to share, But what his nature and his state can bear. Why has not man a microscopic eye? For this plain reason, man is not a fly. Say what the use, were finer optics given, To inspect a mite, not comprehend the heaven? Or touch, if tremblingly alive all o’er, To smart and agonize at every pore? Or quick effluvia darting through the brain, Die of a rose in aromatic pain? If Nature thundered in his opening ears, And stunned him with the music of the spheres, How would he wish that Heaven had left him still The whispering zephyr, and the purling rill? Who finds not Providence all good and wise, Alike in what it gives, and what denies?
VII.  Far as Creation’s ample range extends, The scale of sensual, mental powers ascends: Mark how it mounts, to man’s imperial race, From the green myriads in the peopled grass: What modes of sight betwixt each wide extreme, The mole’s dim curtain, and the lynx’s beam: Of smell, the headlong lioness between, And hound sagacious on the tainted green: Of hearing, from the life that fills the flood, To that which warbles through the vernal wood: The spider’s touch, how exquisitely fine! Feels at each thread, and lives along the line: In the nice bee, what sense so subtly true From poisonous herbs extracts the healing dew? How instinct varies in the grovelling swine, Compared, half-reasoning elephant, with thine! ’Twixt that, and reason, what a nice barrier, For ever separate, yet for ever near! Remembrance and reflection how allayed; What thin partitions sense from thought divide: And middle natures, how they long to join, Yet never passed the insuperable line! Without this just gradation, could they be Subjected, these to those, or all to thee? The powers of all subdued by thee alone, Is not thy reason all these powers in one?
VIII.  See, through this air, this ocean, and this earth, All matter quick, and bursting into birth. Above, how high, progressive life may go! Around, how wide! how deep extend below? Vast chain of being! which from God began, Natures ethereal, human, angel, man, Beast, bird, fish, insect, what no eye can see, No glass can reach; from Infinite to thee, From thee to nothing.  On superior powers Were we to press, inferior might on ours: Or in the full creation leave a void, Where, one step broken, the great scale’s destroyed: From Nature’s chain whatever link you strike, Tenth or ten thousandth, breaks the chain alike.   And, if each system in gradation roll Alike essential to the amazing whole, The least confusion but in one, not all That system only, but the whole must fall. Let earth unbalanced from her orbit fly, Planets and suns run lawless through the sky; Let ruling angels from their spheres be hurled, Being on being wrecked, and world on world; Heaven’s whole foundations to their centre nod, And nature tremble to the throne of God. All this dread order break—for whom? for thee? Vile worm!—Oh, madness! pride! impiety!
IX.  What if the foot, ordained the dust to tread, Or hand, to toil, aspired to be the head? What if the head, the eye, or ear repined To serve mere engines to the ruling mind? Just as absurd for any part to claim To be another, in this general frame: Just as absurd, to mourn the tasks or pains, The great directing Mind of All ordains.   All are but parts of one stupendous whole, Whose body Nature is, and God the soul; That, changed through all, and yet in all the same; Great in the earth, as in the ethereal frame; Warms in the sun, refreshes in the breeze, Glows in the stars, and blossoms in the trees, Lives through all life, extends through all extent, Spreads undivided, operates unspent; Breathes in our soul, informs our mortal part, As full, as perfect, in a hair as heart: As full, as perfect, in vile man that mourns, As the rapt seraph that adores and burns: To him no high, no low, no great, no small; He fills, he bounds, connects, and equals all.
X.  Cease, then, nor order imperfection name: Our proper bliss depends on what we blame. Know thy own point: this kind, this due degree Of blindness, weakness, Heaven bestows on thee. Submit.  In this, or any other sphere, Secure to be as blest as thou canst bear: Safe in the hand of one disposing Power, Or in the natal, or the mortal hour. All nature is but art, unknown to thee; All chance, direction, which thou canst not see; All discord, harmony not understood; All partial evil, universal good: And, spite of pride in erring reason’s spite, One truth is clear, whatever is, is right.

EPISTLE II.
I.  Know, then, thyself, presume not God to scan; The proper study of mankind is man. Placed on this isthmus of a middle state, A being darkly wise, and rudely great: With too much knowledge for the sceptic side, With too much weakness for the stoic’s pride, He hangs between; in doubt to act, or rest; In doubt to deem himself a god, or beast; In doubt his mind or body to prefer; Born but to die, and reasoning but to err; Alike in ignorance, his reason such, Whether he thinks too little, or too much: Chaos of thought and passion, all confused; Still by himself abused, or disabused; Created half to rise, and half to fall; Great lord of all things, yet a prey to all; Sole judge of truth, in endless error hurled: The glory, jest, and riddle of the world!   Go, wondrous creature! mount where science guides, Go, measure earth, weigh air, and state the tides; Instruct the planets in what orbs to run, Correct old time, and regulate the sun; Go, soar with Plato to th’ empyreal sphere, To the first good, first perfect, and first fair; Or tread the mazy round his followers trod, And quitting sense call imitating God; As Eastern priests in giddy circles run, And turn their heads to imitate the sun. Go, teach Eternal Wisdom how to rule— Then drop into thyself, and be a fool!   Superior beings, when of late they saw A mortal man unfold all Nature’s law, Admired such wisdom in an earthly shape And showed a Newton as we show an ape.   Could he, whose rules the rapid comet bind, Describe or fix one movement of his mind? Who saw its fires here rise, and there descend, Explain his own beginning, or his end? Alas, what wonder! man’s superior part Unchecked may rise, and climb from art to art; But when his own great work is but begun, What reason weaves, by passion is undone. Trace Science, then, with Modesty thy guide; First strip off all her equipage of pride; Deduct what is but vanity or dress, Or learning’s luxury, or idleness; Or tricks to show the stretch of human brain, Mere curious pleasure, or ingenious pain; Expunge the whole, or lop th’ excrescent parts Of all our vices have created arts; Then see how little the remaining sum, Which served the past, and must the times to come!
II.  Two principles in human nature reign; Self-love to urge, and reason, to restrain; Nor this a good, nor that a bad we call, Each works its end, to move or govern all And to their proper operation still, Ascribe all good; to their improper, ill. Self-love, the spring of motion, acts the soul; Reason’s comparing balance rules the whole. Man, but for that, no action could attend, And but for this, were active to no end: Fixed like a plant on his peculiar spot, To draw nutrition, propagate, and rot; Or, meteor-like, flame lawless through the void, Destroying others, by himself destroyed. Most strength the moving principle requires; Active its task, it prompts, impels, inspires. Sedate and quiet the comparing lies, Formed but to check, deliberate, and advise. Self-love still stronger, as its objects nigh; Reason’s at distance, and in prospect lie: That sees immediate good by present sense; Reason, the future and the consequence. Thicker than arguments, temptations throng. At best more watchful this, but that more strong. The action of the stronger to suspend, Reason still use, to reason still attend. Attention, habit and experience gains; Each strengthens reason, and self-love restrains. Let subtle schoolmen teach these friends to fight, More studious to divide than to unite; And grace and virtue, sense and reason split, With all the rash dexterity of wit. Wits, just like fools, at war about a name, Have full as oft no meaning, or the same. Self-love and reason to one end aspire, Pain their aversion, pleasure their desire; But greedy that, its object would devour, This taste the honey, and not wound the flower: Pleasure, or wrong or rightly understood, Our greatest evil, or our greatest good.
III.  Modes of self-love the passions we may call; ’Tis real good, or seeming, moves them all: But since not every good we can divide, And reason bids us for our own provide; Passions, though selfish, if their means be fair, List under Reason, and deserve her care; Those, that imparted, court a nobler aim, Exalt their kind, and take some virtue’s name.   In lazy apathy let stoics boast Their virtue fixed; ’tis fixed as in a frost; Contracted all, retiring to the breast; But strength of mind is exercise, not rest: The rising tempest puts in act the soul, Parts it may ravage, but preserves the whole. On life’s vast ocean diversely we sail, Reason the card, but passion is the gale; Nor God alone in the still calm we find, He mounts the storm, and walks upon the wind.   Passions, like elements, though born to fight, Yet, mixed and softened, in his work unite: These, ’tis enough to temper and employ; But what composes man, can man destroy? Suffice that Reason keep to Nature’s road, Subject, compound them, follow her and God. Love, hope, and joy, fair pleasure’s smiling train, Hate, fear, and grief, the family of pain, These mixed with art, and to due bounds confined, Make and maintain the balance of the mind; The lights and shades, whose well-accorded strife Gives all the strength and colour of our life. Pleasures are ever in our hands or eyes; And when in act they cease, in prospect rise: Present to grasp, and future still to find, The whole employ of body and of mind. All spread their charms, but charm not all alike; On different senses different objects strike; Hence different passions more or less inflame, As strong or weak, the organs of the frame; And hence once master passion in the breast, Like Aaron’s serpent, swallows up the rest.   As man, perhaps, the moment of his breath Receives the lurking principle of death; The young disease that must subdue at length, Grows with his growth, and strengthens with his strength: So, cast and mingled with his very frame, The mind’s disease, its ruling passion came; Each vital humour which should feed the whole, Soon flows to this, in body and in soul: Whatever warms the heart, or fills the head, As the mind opens, and its functions spread, Imagination plies her dangerous art, And pours it all upon the peccant part.   Nature its mother, habit is its nurse; Wit, spirit, faculties, but make it worse; Reason itself but gives it edge and power; As Heaven’s blest beam turns vinegar more sour.   We, wretched subjects, though to lawful sway, In this weak queen some favourite still obey: Ah! if she lend not arms, as well as rules, What can she more than tell us we are fools? Teach us to mourn our nature, not to mend, A sharp accuser, but a helpless friend! Or from a judge turn pleader, to persuade The choice we make, or justify it made; Proud of an easy conquest all along, She but removes weak passions for the strong; So, when small humours gather to a gout, The doctor fancies he has driven them out.   Yes, Nature’s road must ever be preferred; Reason is here no guide, but still a guard: ’Tis hers to rectify, not overthrow, And treat this passion more as friend than foe: A mightier power the strong direction sends, And several men impels to several ends: Like varying winds, by other passions tossed, This drives them constant to a certain coast. Let power or knowledge, gold or glory, please, Or (oft more strong than all) the love of ease; Through life ’tis followed, even at life’s expense; The merchant’s toil, the sage’s indolence, The monk’s humility, the hero’s pride, All, all alike, find reason on their side.   The eternal art, educing good from ill, Grafts on this passion our best principle: ’Tis thus the mercury of man is fixed, Strong grows the virtue with his nature mixed; The dross cements what else were too refined, And in one interest body acts with mind.   As fruits, ungrateful to the planter’s care, On savage stocks inserted, learn to bear; The surest virtues thus from passions shoot, Wild nature’s vigour working at the root. What crops of wit and honesty appear From spleen, from obstinacy, hate, or fear! See anger, zeal and fortitude supply; Even avarice, prudence; sloth, philosophy; Lust, through some certain strainers well refined, Is gentle love, and charms all womankind; Envy, to which th’ ignoble mind’s a slave, Is emulation in the learned or brave; Nor virtue, male or female, can we name, But what will grow on pride, or grow on shame.   Thus Nature gives us (let it check our pride) The virtue nearest to our vice allied: Reason the bias turns to good from ill And Nero reigns a Titus, if he will. The fiery soul abhorred in Catiline, In Decius charms, in Curtius is divine: The same ambition can destroy or save, And makes a patriot as it makes a knave.   This light and darkness in our chaos joined, What shall divide?  The God within the mind.   Extremes in nature equal ends produce, In man they join to some mysterious use; Though each by turns the other’s bound invade, As, in some well-wrought picture, light and shade, And oft so mix, the difference is too nice Where ends the virtue or begins the vice.   Fools! who from hence into the notion fall, That vice or virtue there is none at all. If white and black blend, soften, and unite A thousand ways, is there no black or white? Ask your own heart, and nothing is so plain; ’Tis to mistake them, costs the time and pain.   Vice is a monster of so frightful mien, As, to be hated, needs but to be seen; Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face, We first endure, then pity, then embrace. But where th’ extreme of vice, was ne’er agreed: Ask where’s the north? at York, ’tis on the Tweed; In Scotland, at the Orcades; and there, At Greenland, Zembla, or the Lord knows where. No creature owns it in the first degree, But thinks his neighbour farther gone than he; Even those who dwell beneath its very zone, Or never feel the rage, or never own; What happier nations shrink at with affright, The hard inhabitant contends is right.   Virtuous and vicious every man must be, Few in th’ extreme, but all in the degree, The rogue and fool by fits is fair and wise; And even the best, by fits, what they despise. ’Tis but by parts we follow good or ill; For, vice or virtue, self directs it still; Each individual seeks a several goal; But Heaven’s great view is one, and that the whole. That counter-works each folly and caprice; That disappoints th’ effect of every vice; That, happy frailties to all ranks applied, Shame to the virgin, to the matron pride, Fear to the statesman, rashness to the chief, To kings presumption, and to crowds belief: That, virtue’s ends from vanity can raise, Which seeks no interest, no reward but praise; And build on wants, and on defects of mind, The joy, the peace, the glory of mankind.   Heaven forming each on other to depend, A master, or a servant, or a friend, Bids each on other for assistance call, Till one man’s weakness grows the strength of all. Wants, frailties, passions, closer still ally The common interest, or endear the tie. To these we owe true friendship, love sincere, Each home-felt joy that life inherits here; Yet from the same we learn, in its decline, Those joys, those loves, those interests to resign; Taught half by reason, half by mere decay, To welcome death, and calmly pass away.   Whate’er the passion, knowledge, fame, or pelf, Not one will change his neighbour with himself. The learned is happy nature to explore, The fool is happy that he knows no more; The rich is happy in the plenty given, The poor contents him with the care of Heaven. See the blind beggar dance, the cripple sing, The sot a hero, lunatic a king; The starving chemist in his golden views Supremely blest, the poet in his muse.   See some strange comfort every state attend, And pride bestowed on all, a common friend; See some fit passion every age supply, Hope travels through, nor quits us when we die.   Behold the child, by Nature’s kindly law, Pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw: Some livelier plaything gives his youth delight, A little louder, but as empty quite: Scarves, garters, gold, amuse his riper stage, And beads and prayer-books are the toys of age: Pleased with this bauble still, as that before; Till tired he sleeps, and life’s poor play is o’er.   Meanwhile opinion gilds with varying rays Those painted clouds that beautify our days; Each want of happiness by hope supplied, And each vacuity of sense by pride: These build as fast as knowledge can destroy; In folly’s cup still laughs the bubble, joy; One prospect lost, another still we gain; And not a vanity is given in vain; Even mean self-love becomes, by force divine, The scale to measure others’ wants by thine. See! and confess, one comfort still must rise, ’Tis this, though man’s a fool, yet God is wise.

EPISTLE III.
Here, then, we rest: “The Universal Cause Acts to one end, but acts by various laws.” In all the madness of superfluous health, The trim of pride, the impudence of wealth, Let this great truth be present night and day; But most be present, if we preach or pray.   Look round our world; behold the chain of love Combining all below and all above. See plastic Nature working to this end, The single atoms each to other tend, Attract, attracted to, the next in place Formed and impelled its neighbour to embrace. See matter next, with various life endued, Press to one centre still, the general good. See dying vegetables life sustain, See life dissolving vegetate again: All forms that perish other forms supply (By turns we catch the vital breath, and die), Like bubbles on the sea of matter borne, They rise, they break, and to that sea return. Nothing is foreign: parts relate to whole; One all-extending, all-preserving soul Connects each being, greatest with the least; Made beast in aid of man, and man of beast; All served, all serving: nothing stands alone; The chain holds on, and where it ends, unknown.   Has God, thou fool! worked solely for thy Thy good, Thy joy, thy pastime, thy attire, thy food? Who for thy table feeds the wanton fawn, For him as kindly spread the flowery lawn: Is it for thee the lark ascends and sings? Joy tunes his voice, joy elevates his wings. Is it for thee the linnet pours his throat? Loves of his own and raptures swell the note. The bounding steed you pompously bestride, Shares with his lord the pleasure and the pride. Is thine alone the seed that strews the plain? The birds of heaven shall vindicate their grain. Thine the full harvest of the golden year? Part pays, and justly, the deserving steer: The hog, that ploughs not nor obeys thy call, Lives on the labours of this lord of all.   Know, Nature’s children all divide her care; The fur that warms a monarch, warmed a bear. While man exclaims, “See all things for my use!” “See man for mine!” replies a pampered goose: And just as short of reason he must fall, Who thinks all made for one, not one for all.   Grant that the powerful still the weak control; Be man the wit and tyrant of the whole: Nature that tyrant checks; he only knows, And helps, another creature’s wants and woes. Say, will the falcon, stooping from above, Smit with her varying plumage, spare the dove? Admires the jay the insect’s gilded wings? Or hears the hawk when Philomela sings? Man cares for all: to birds he gives his woods, To beasts his pastures, and to fish his floods; For some his interest prompts him to provide, For more his pleasure, yet for more his pride: All feed on one vain patron, and enjoy The extensive blessing of his luxury. That very life his learned hunger craves, He saves from famine, from the savage saves; Nay, feasts the animal he dooms his feast, And, till he ends the being, makes it blest; Which sees no more the stroke, or feels the pain, Than favoured man by touch ethereal slain. The creature had his feast of life before; Thou too must perish when thy feast is o’er!   To each unthinking being, Heaven, a friend, Gives not the useless knowledge of its end: To man imparts it; but with such a view As, while he dreads it, makes him hope it too; The hour concealed, and so remote the fear, Death still draws nearer, never seeming near. Great standing miracle! that Heaven assigned Its only thinking thing this turn of mind.
II.  Whether with reason, or with instinct blest, Know, all enjoy that power which suits them best; To bliss alike by that direction tend, And find the means proportioned to their end. Say, where full instinct is the unerring guide, What pope or council can they need beside? Reason, however able, cool at best, Cares not for service, or but serves when pressed, Stays till we call, and then not often near; But honest instinct comes a volunteer, Sure never to o’er-shoot, but just to hit; While still too wide or short is human wit; Sure by quick nature happiness to gain, Which heavier reason labours at in vain, This too serves always, reason never long; One must go right, the other may go wrong. See then the acting and comparing powers One in their nature, which are two in ours; And reason raise o’er instinct as you can, In this ’tis God directs, in that ’tis man.   Who taught the nations of the field and wood To shun their poison, and to choose their food? Prescient, the tides or tempests to withstand, Build on the wave, or arch beneath the sand? Who made the spider parallels design, Sure as Demoivre, without rule or line? Who did the stork, Columbus-like, explore Heavens not his own, and worlds unknown before? Who calls the council, states the certain day, Who forms the phalanx, and who points the way?
III.  God in the nature of each being founds Its proper bliss, and sets its proper bounds: But as He framed a whole, the whole to bless, On mutual wants built mutual happiness: So from the first, eternal order ran, And creature linked to creature, man to man. Whate’er of life all-quickening ether keeps, Or breathes through air, or shoots beneath the deeps, Or pours profuse on earth, one nature feeds The vital flame, and swells the genial seeds. Not man alone, but all that roam the wood, Or wing the sky, or roll along the flood, Each loves itself, but not itself alone, Each sex desires alike, till two are one. Nor ends the pleasure with the fierce embrace; They love themselves, a third time, in their race. Thus beast and bird their common charge attend, The mothers nurse it, and the sires defend; The young dismissed to wander earth or air, There stops the instinct, and there ends the care; The link dissolves, each seeks a fresh embrace, Another love succeeds, another race. A longer care man’s helpless kind demands; That longer care contracts more lasting bands: Reflection, reason, still the ties improve, At once extend the interest and the love; With choice we fix, with sympathy we burn; Each virtue in each passion takes its turn; And still new needs, new helps, new habits rise. That graft benevolence on charities. Still as one brood, and as another rose, These natural love maintained, habitual those. The last, scarce ripened into perfect man, Saw helpless him from whom their life began: Memory and forecast just returns engage, That pointed back to youth, this on to age; While pleasure, gratitude, and hope combined, Still spread the interest, and preserved the kind.
IV.  Nor think, in Nature’s state they blindly trod; The state of nature was the reign of God: Self-love and social at her birth began, Union the bond of all things, and of man. Pride then was not; nor arts, that pride to aid; Man walked with beast, joint tenant of the shade; The same his table, and the same his bed; No murder clothed him, and no murder fed. In the same temple, the resounding wood, All vocal beings hymned their equal God: The shrine with gore unstained, with gold undressed, Unbribed, unbloody, stood the blameless priest: Heaven’s attribute was universal care, And man’s prerogative to rule, but spare. Ah! how unlike the man of times to come! Of half that live the butcher and the tomb; Who, foe to nature, hears the general groan, Murders their species, and betrays his own. But just disease to luxury succeeds, And every death its own avenger breeds; The fury-passions from that blood began, And turned on man a fiercer savage, man.   See him from Nature rising slow to art! To copy instinct then was reason’s part; Thus then to man the voice of Nature spake— “Go, from the creatures thy instructions take: Learn from the birds what food the thickets yield; Learn from the beasts the physic of the field; Thy arts of building from the bee receive; Learn of the mole to plough, the worm to weave; Learn of the little nautilus to sail, Spread the thin oar, and catch the driving gale. Here too all forms of social union find, And hence let reason, late, instruct mankind: Here subterranean works and cities see; There towns aërial on the waving tree. Learn each small people’s genius, policies, The ant’s republic, and the realm of bees; How those in common all their wealth bestow, And anarchy without confusion know; And these for ever, though a monarch reign, Their separate cells and properties maintain. Mark what unvaried laws preserve each state, Laws wise as nature, and as fixed as fate. In vain thy reason finer webs shall draw, Entangle justice in her net of law, And right, too rigid, harden into wrong; Still for the strong too weak, the weak too strong. Yet go! and thus o’er all the creatures sway, Thus let the wiser make the rest obey; And, for those arts mere instinct could afford, Be crowned as monarchs, or as gods adored.”
V.  Great Nature spoke; observant men obeyed; Cities were built, societies were made: Here rose one little state: another near Grew by like means, and joined, through love or fear. Did here the trees with ruddier burdens bend, And there the streams in purer rills descend? What war could ravish, commerce could bestow, And he returned a friend, who came a foe. Converse and love mankind might strongly draw, When love was liberty, and Nature law. Thus States were formed; the name of king unknown, ’Till common interest placed the sway in one. ’Twas virtue only (or in arts or arms, Diffusing blessings, or averting harms) The same which in a sire the sons obeyed, A prince the father of a people made.
VI.  Till then, by Nature crowned, each patriarch sate, King, priest, and parent of his growing state; On him, their second providence, they hung, Their law his eye, their oracle his tongue. He from the wondering furrow called the food, Taught to command the fire, control the flood, Draw forth the monsters of the abyss profound, Or fetch the aërial eagle to the ground. Till drooping, sickening, dying they began Whom they revered as God to mourn as man: Then, looking up, from sire to sire, explored One great first Father, and that first adored. Or plain tradition that this all begun, Conveyed unbroken faith from sire to son; The worker from the work distinct was known, And simple reason never sought but one: Ere wit oblique had broke that steady light, Man, like his Maker, saw that all was right; To virtue, in the paths of pleasure, trod, And owned a Father when he owned a God. Love all the faith, and all the allegiance then; For Nature knew no right divine in men, No ill could fear in God; and understood A sovereign being but a sovereign good. True faith, true policy, united ran, This was but love of God, and this of man.   Who first taught souls enslaved, and realms undone, The enormous faith of many made for one; That proud exception to all Nature’s laws, To invert the world, and counter-work its cause? Force first made conquest, and that conquest, law; Till superstition taught the tyrant awe, Then shared the tyranny, then lent it aid, And gods of conquerors, slaves of subjects made: She, ’midst the lightning’s blaze, and thunder’s sound, When rocked the mountains, and when groaned the ground, She taught the weak to bend, the proud to pray, To power unseen, and mightier far than they: She, from the rending earth and bursting skies, Saw gods descend, and fiends infernal rise: Here fixed the dreadful, there the blest abodes; Fear made her devils, and weak hope her gods; Gods partial, changeful, passionate, unjust, Whose attributes were rage, revenge, or lust; Such as the souls of cowards might conceive, And, formed like tyrants, tyrants would believe. Zeal then, not charity, became the guide; And hell was built on spite, and heaven on pride, Then sacred seemed the ethereal vault no more; Altars grew marble then, and reeked with gore; Then first the flamen tasted living food; Next his grim idol smeared with human blood; With heaven’s own thunders shook the world below, And played the god an engine on his foe.   So drives self-love, through just and through unjust, To one man’s power, ambition, lucre, lust: The same self-love, in all, becomes the cause Of what restrains him, government and laws. For, what one likes if others like as well, What serves one will when many wills rebel? How shall he keep, what, sleeping or awake, A weaker may surprise, a stronger take? His safety must his liberty restrain: All join to guard what each desires to gain. Forced into virtue thus by self-defence, Even kings learned justice and benevolence: Self-love forsook the path it first pursued, And found the private in the public good.   ’Twas then, the studious head or generous mind, Follower of God, or friend of human-kind, Poet or patriot, rose but to restore The faith and moral Nature gave before; Re-lumed her ancient light, not kindled new; If not God’s image, yet His shadow drew: Taught power’s due use to people and to kings, Taught nor to slack, nor strain its tender strings, The less, or greater, set so justly true, That touching one must strike the other too; Till jarring interests, of themselves create The according music of a well-mixed state. Such is the world’s great harmony, that springs From order, union, full consent of things: Where small and great, where weak and mighty, made To serve, not suffer, strengthen, not invade; More powerful each as needful to the rest, And, in proportion as it blesses, blest; Draw to one point, and to one centre bring Beast, man, or angel, servant, lord, or king.   For forms of government let fools contest; Whate’er is best administered is best: For modes of faith let graceless zealots fight; His can’t be wrong whose life is in the right: In faith and hope the world will disagree, But all mankind’s concern is charity: All must be false that thwart this one great end; And all of God, that bless mankind or mend.   Man, like the generous vine, supported lives; The strength he gains is from the embrace he gives. On their own axis as the planets run, Yet make at once their circle round the sun; So two consistent motions act the soul; And one regards itself, and one the whole.   Thus God and Nature linked the general frame, And bade self-love and social be the same.
ARGUMENT OF EPISTLE IV.
Of the Nature and State of Man with respect to Happiness.
I. False Notions of Happiness, Philosophical and Popular, answered from v.19 to 77.  II. It is the End of all Men, and attainable by all, v.30.  God intends Happiness to be equal; and to be so, it must be social, since all particular Happiness depends on general, and since He governs by general, not particular Laws, v.37.  As it is necessary for Order, and the peace and welfare of Society, that external goods should be unequal, Happiness is not made to consist in these, v.51. But, notwithstanding that inequality, the balance of Happiness among Mankind is kept even by Providence, by the two Passions of Hope and Fear, v.70.  III. What the Happiness of Individuals is, as far as is consistent with the constitution of this world; and that the good Man has here the advantage, V.77.  The error of imputing to Virtue what are only the calamities of Nature or of Fortune, v.94.  IV. The folly of expecting that God should alter His general Laws in favour of particulars, v.121.  V. That we are not judges who are good; but that, whoever they are, they must be happiest, v.133, etc.  VI. That external goods are not the proper rewards, but often inconsistent with, or destructive of Virtue, v.165.  That even these can make no Man happy without Virtue: Instanced in Riches, v.183.  Honours, v.191.  Nobility, v.203. Greatness, v.215.  Fame, v.235.  Superior Talents, v.257, etc.  With pictures of human Infelicity in Men possessed of them all, v.267, etc.  VII. That Virtue only constitutes a Happiness, whose object is universal, and whose prospect eternal, v.307, etc.  That the perfection of Virtue and Happiness consists in a conformity to the Order of Providence here, and a Resignation to it here and hereafter, v.326, etc.
EPISTLE IV.
Oh, happiness, our being’s end and aim! Good, pleasure, ease, content! whate’er thy name: That something still which prompts the eternal sigh, For which we bear to live, or dare to die, Which still so near us, yet beyond us lies, O’erlooked, seen double, by the fool, and wise. Plant of celestial seed! if dropped below, Say, in what mortal soil thou deign’st to grow? Fair opening to some Court’s propitious shine, Or deep with diamonds in the flaming mine? Twined with the wreaths Parnassian laurels yield, Or reaped in iron harvests of the field? Where grows?—where grows it not?  If vain our toil, We ought to blame the culture, not the soil: Fixed to no spot is happiness sincere, ’Tis nowhere to be found, or everywhere; ’Tis never to be bought, but always free, And fled from monarchs, St. John! dwells with thee.   Ask of the learned the way?  The learned are blind; This bids to serve, and that to shun mankind; Some place the bliss in action, some in ease, Those call it pleasure, and contentment these; Some, sunk to beasts, find pleasure end in pain; Some, swelled to gods, confess even virtue vain; Or indolent, to each extreme they fall, To trust in everything, or doubt of all.   Who thus define it, say they more or less Than this, that happiness is happiness?   Take Nature’s path, and mad opinions leave; All states can reach it, and all heads conceive; Obvious her goods, in no extreme they dwell; There needs but thinking right, and meaning well; And mourn our various portions as we please, Equal is common sense, and common ease.   Remember, man, “the Universal Cause Acts not by partial, but by general laws;” And makes what happiness we justly call Subsist not in the good of one, but all. There’s not a blessing individuals find, But some way leans and hearkens to the kind: No bandit fierce, no tyrant mad with pride, No caverned hermit, rests self-satisfied: Who most to shun or hate mankind pretend, Seek an admirer, or would fix a friend: Abstract what others feel, what others think, All pleasures sicken, and all glories sink: Each has his share; and who would more obtain, Shall find, the pleasure pays not half the pain.   Order is Heaven’s first law; and this confest, Some are, and must be, greater than the rest, More rich, more wise; but who infers from hence That such are happier, shocks all common sense. Heaven to mankind impartial we confess, If all are equal in their happiness: But mutual wants this happiness increase; All Nature’s difference keeps all Nature’s peace. Condition, circumstance is not the thing; Bliss is the same in subject or in king, In who obtain defence, or who defend, In him who is, or him who finds a friend: Heaven breathes through every member of the whole One common blessing, as one common soul. But fortune’s gifts if each alike possessed, And each were equal, must not all contest? If then to all men happiness was meant, God in externals could not place content.   Fortune her gifts may variously dispose, And these be happy called, unhappy those; But Heaven’s just balance equal will appear, While those are placed in hope, and these in fear: Nor present good or ill, the joy or curse, But future views of better or of worse,   Oh, sons of earth! attempt ye still to rise, By mountains piled on mountains, to the skies, Heaven still with laughter the vain toil surveys, And buries madmen in the heaps they raise.   Know, all the good that individuals find, Or God and Nature meant to mere mankind, Reason’s whole pleasure, all the joys of sense, Lie in three words, health, peace, and competence. But health consists with temperance alone; And peace, oh, virtue! peace is all thy own. The good or bad the gifts of fortune gain; But these less taste them, as they worse obtain. Say, in pursuit of profit or delight, Who risk the most, that take wrong means, or right; Of vice or virtue, whether blessed or cursed, Which meets contempt, or which compassion first? Count all the advantage prosperous vice attains, ’Tis but what virtue flies from and disdains: And grant the bad what happiness they would, One they must want, which is, to pass for good.   Oh, blind to truth, and God’s whole scheme below, Who fancy bliss to vice, to virtue woe! Who sees and follows that great scheme the best, Best knows the blessing, and will most be blest. But fools the good alone unhappy call, For ills or accidents that chance to all. See Falkland dies, the virtuous and the just! See god-like Turenne prostrate on the dust! See Sidney bleeds amid the martial strife! Was this their virtue, or contempt of life? Say, was it virtue, more though Heaven ne’er gave, Lamented Digby! sunk thee to the grave? Tell me, if virtue made the son expire, Why, full of days and honour, lives the sire? Why drew Marseilles’ good bishop purer breath, When Nature sickened, and each gale was death? Or why so long (in life if long can be) Lent Heaven a parent to the poor and me?   What makes all physical or moral ill? There deviates Nature, and here wanders will. God sends not ill; if rightly understood, Or partial ill is universal good, Or change admits, or Nature lets it fall; Short, and but rare, till man improved it all. We just as wisely might of Heaven complain That righteous Abel was destroyed by Cain, As that the virtuous son is ill at ease When his lewd father gave the dire disease. Think we, like some weak prince, the Eternal Cause Prone for His favourites to reverse His laws?   Shall burning Etna, if a sage requires, Forget to thunder, and recall her fires? On air or sea new motions be imprest, Oh, blameless Bethel! to relieve thy breast? When the loose mountain trembles from on high, Shall gravitation cease, if you go by? Or some old temple, nodding to its fall, For Chartres’ head reserve the hanging wall?   But still this world (so fitted for the knave) Contents us not.  A better shall we have? A kingdom of the just then let it be: But first consider how those just agree. The good must merit God’s peculiar care: But who, but God, can tell us who they are? One thinks on Calvin Heaven’s own spirit fell; Another deems him instrument of hell; If Calvin feel Heaven’s blessing, or its rod. This cries there is, and that, there is no God. What shocks one part will edify the rest, Nor with one system can they all be blest. The very best will variously incline, And what rewards your virtue, punish mine. Whatever is, is right.  This world, ’tis true, Was made for Cæsar—but for Titus too: And which more blest? who chained his country, say, Or he whose virtue sighed to lose a day?   “But sometimes virtue starves, while vice is fed.” What then?  Is the reward of virtue bread? That, vice may merit, ’tis the price of toil; The knave deserves it, when he tills the soil, The knave deserves it, when he tempts the main, Where folly fights for kings, or dives for gain. The good man may be weak, be indolent; Nor is his claim to plenty, but content. But grant him riches, your demand is o’er? “No—shall the good want health, the good want power?” Add health, and power, and every earthly thing, “Why bounded power? why private? why no king?” Nay, why external for internal given? Why is not man a god, and earth a heaven? Who ask and reason thus, will scarce conceive God gives enough, while He has more to give: Immense the power, immense were the demand; Say, at what part of nature will they stand?   What nothing earthly gives, or can destroy, The soul’s calm sunshine, and the heartfelt joy, Is virtue’s prize: A better would you fix? Then give humility a coach and six, Justice a conqueror’s sword, or truth a gown, Or public spirit its great cure, a crown. Weak, foolish man! will heaven reward us there With the same trash mad mortals wish for here? The boy and man an individual makes, Yet sighest thou now for apples and for cakes? Go, like the Indian, in another life Expect thy dog, thy bottle, and thy wife: As well as dream such trifles are assigned, As toys and empires, for a God-like mind. Rewards, that either would to virtue bring No joy, or be destructive of the thing: How oft by these at sixty are undone The virtues of a saint at twenty-one! To whom can riches give repute or trust, Content, or pleasure, but the good and just? Judges and senates have been bought for gold, Esteem and love were never to be sold. Oh, fool! to think God hates the worthy mind, The lover and the love of human kind, Whose life is healthful, and whose conscience clear, Because he wants a thousand pounds a year.   Honour and shame from no condition rise; Act well your part, there all the honour lies. Fortune in men has some small difference made, One flaunts in rags, one flutters in brocade; The cobbler aproned, and the parson gowned, The friar hooded, and the monarch crowned, “What differ more (you cry) than crown and cowl?” I’ll tell you, friend! a wise man and a fool. You’ll find, if once the monarch acts the monk, Or, cobbler-like, the parson will be drunk, Worth makes the man, and want of it, the fellow; The rest is all but leather or prunella.   Stuck o’er with titles and hung round with strings, That thou mayest be by kings, or wh***s of kings. Boast the pure blood of an illustrious race, In quiet flow from Lucrece to Lucrece; But by your fathers’ worth if yours you rate, Count me those only who were good and great. Go! if your ancient, but ignoble blood Has crept through scoundrels ever since the flood, Go! and pretend your family is young; Nor own, your fathers have been fools so long. What can ennoble sots, or slaves, or cowards? Alas! not all the blood of all the Howards.   Look next on greatness; say where greatness lies? “Where, but among the heroes and the wise?” Heroes are much the same, the points agreed, From Macedonia’s madman to the Swede; The whole strange purpose of their lives, to find Or make, an enemy of all mankind? Not one looks backward, onward still he goes, Yet ne’er looks forward farther than his nose. No less alike the politic and wise; All sly slow things, with circumspective eyes; Men in their loose unguarded hours they take, Not that themselves are wise, but others weak. But grant that those can conquer, these can cheat; ’Tis phrase absurd to call a villain great: Who wickedly is wise, or madly brave, Is but the more a fool, the more a knave. Who noble ends by noble means obtains, Or failing, smiles in exile or in chains, Like good Aurelius let him reign, or bleed Like Socrates, that man is great indeed.   What’s fame? a fancied life in others’ breath, A thing beyond us, even before our death. Just what you hear, you have, and what’s unknown The same (my Lord) if Tully’s, or your own. All that we feel of it begins and ends In the small circle of our foes or friends; To all beside as much an empty shade An Eugene living, as a Cæsar dead; Alike or when, or where, they shone, or shine, Or on the Rubicon, or on the Rhine. A wit’s a feather, and a chief a rod; An honest man’s the noblest work of God. Fame but from death a villain’s name can save, As justice tears his body from the grave; When what the oblivion better were resigned, Is hung on high, to poison half mankind. All fame is foreign, but of true desert; Plays round the head, but comes not to the heart: One self-approving hour whole years outweighs Of stupid starers, and of loud huzzas; And more true joy Marcellus exiled feels, Than Cæsar with a senate at his heels.   In parts superior what advantage lies? Tell (for you can) what is it to be wise? ’Tis but to know how little can be known; To see all others’ faults, and feel our own; Condemned in business or in arts to drudge, Without a second or without a judge; Truths would you teach or save a sinking land, All fear, none aid you, and few understand. Painful pre-eminence! yourself to view Above life’s weakness, and its comforts too.   Bring, then, these blessings to a strict account; Make fair deductions; see to what they mount; How much of other each is sure to cost; How each for other oft is wholly lost; How inconsistent greater goods with these; How sometimes life is risked, and always ease; Think, and if still the things thy envy call, Say, would’st thou be the man to whom they fall? To sigh for ribands if thou art so silly, Mark how they grace Lord Umbra, or Sir Billy: Is yellow dirt the passion of thy life? Look but on Gripus, or on Gripus’ wife; If parts allure thee, think how Bacon shined, The wisest, brightest, meanest of mankind: Or ravished with the whistling of a name, See Cromwell; damned to everlasting fame! If all, united, thy ambition call, From ancient story learn to scorn them all. There, in the rich, the honoured, famed, and great, See the false scale of happiness complete! In hearts of kings, or arms of queens who lay, How happy! those to ruin, these betray. Mark by what wretched steps their glory grows, From dirt and seaweed as proud Venice rose; In each how guilt and greatness equal ran, And all that raised the hero, sunk the man: Now Europe’s laurels on their brows behold, But stained with blood, or ill exchanged for gold; Then see them broke with toils or sunk with ease, Or infamous for plundered provinces. Oh, wealth ill-fated! which no act of fame E’er taught to shine, or sanctified from shame; What greater bliss attends their close of life? Some greedy minion, or imperious wife. The trophied arches, storeyed halls invade And haunt their slumbers in the pompous shade. Alas! not dazzled with their noontide ray, Compute the morn and evening to the day; The whole amount of that enormous fame, A tale, that blends their glory with their shame;   Know, then, this truth (enough for man to know) “Virtue alone is happiness below.” The only point where human bliss stands still, And tastes the good without the fall to ill; Where only merit constant pay receives, Is blest in what it takes, and what it gives; The joy unequalled, if its end it gain, And if it lose, attended with no pain; Without satiety, though e’er so blessed, And but more relished as the more distressed: The broadest mirth unfeeling folly wears, Less pleasing far than virtue’s very tears: Good, from each object, from each place acquired For ever exercised, yet never tired; Never elated, while one man’s oppressed; Never dejected while another’s blessed; And where no wants, no wishes can remain, Since but to wish more virtue, is to gain.   See the sole bliss Heaven could on all bestow! Which who but feels can taste, but thinks can know: Yet poor with fortune, and with learning blind, The bad must miss; the good, untaught, will find; Slave to no sect, who takes no private road, But looks through Nature up to Nature’s God; Pursues that chain which links the immense design, Joins heaven and earth, and mortal and divine; Sees, that no being any bliss can know, But touches some above, and some below; Learns, from this union of the rising whole, The first, last purpose of the human soul; And knows, where faith, law, morals, all began, All end, in love of God, and love of man.   For Him alone, hope leads from goal to goal, And opens still, and opens on his soul! Till lengthened on to faith, and unconfined, It pours the bliss that fills up all the mind He sees, why Nature plants in man alone Hope of known bliss, and faith in bliss unknown: (Nature, whose dictates to no other kind Are given in vain, but what they seek they find) Wise is her present; she connects in this His greatest virtue with his greatest bliss; At once his own bright prospect to be blest, And strongest motive to assist the rest.   Self-love thus pushed to social, to divine, Gives thee to make thy neighbour’s blessing thine. Is this too little for the boundless heart? Extend it, let thy enemies have part: Grasp the whole worlds of reason, life, and sense, In one close system of benevolence: Happier as kinder, in whate’er degree, And height of bliss but height of charity.   God loves from whole to parts: but human soul Must rise from individual to the whole. Self-love but serves the virtuous mind to wake, As the small pebble stirs the peaceful lake! The centre moved, a circle straight succeeds, Another still, and still another spreads; Friend, parent, neighbour, first it will embrace; His country next; and next all human race; Wide and more wide, the o’erflowings of the mind Take every creature in, of every kind; Earth smiles around, with boundless bounty blest, And Heaven beholds its image in his breast.   Come, then, my friend! my genius! come along; Oh, master of the poet, and the song! And while the muse now stoops, or now ascends, To man’s low passions, or their glorious ends, Teach me, like thee, in various nature wise, To fall with dignity, with temper rise; Formed by thy converse, happily to steer From grave to gay, from lively to severe; Correct with spirit, eloquent with ease, Intent to reason, or polite to please. Oh! while along the stream of time thy name Expanded flies, and gathers all its fame, Say, shall my little bark attendant sail, Pursue the triumph, and partake the gale? When statesmen, heroes, kings, in dust repose, Whose sons shall blush their fathers were thy foes, Shall then this verse to future age pretend Thou wert my guide, philosopher, and friend? That urged by thee, I turned the tuneful art From sounds to things, from fancy to the heart; From wit’s false mirror held up Nature’s light; Showed erring pride, whatever is, is right; That reason, passion, answer one great aim; That true self-love and social are the same; That virtue only makes our bliss below; And all our knowledge is, ourselves to know.
THE UNIVERSAL PRAYER.
DEO OPT. MAX.
Father of all! in every age,   In every clime adored, By saint, by savage, and by sage,   Jehovah, Jove, or Lord!
Thou Great First Cause, least understood,   Who all my sense confined To know but this, that Thou art good,   And that myself am blind;
Yet gave me, in this dark estate,   To see the good from ill; And binding Nature fast in fate,   Left free the human will.
What conscience dictates to be done,   Or warns me not to do, This, teach me more than Hell to shun,   That, more than Heaven pursue.
What blessings Thy free bounty gives,   Let me not cast away; For God is paid when man receives,   To enjoy is to obey.
Yet not to earth’s contracted span   Thy goodness let me bound, Or think Thee Lord alone of man,   When thousand worlds are round:
Let not this weak, unknowing hand   Presume Thy bolts to throw, And deal damnation round the land,   On each I judge Thy foe.
If I am right, Thy grace impart,   Still in the right to stay; If I am wrong, oh, teach my heart   To find that better way.
Save me alike from foolish pride,   Or impious discontent, At aught Thy wisdom has denied,   Or aught Thy goodness lent.
Teach me to feel another’s woe,   To hide the fault I see; That mercy I to others show,   That mercy show to me.
Mean though I am, not wholly so,   Since quickened by Thy breath; Oh, lead me wheresoe’er I go,   Through this day’s life or death.
This day, be bread and peace my lot:   All else beneath the sun, Thou know’st if best bestowed or not;   And let Thy will be done.
To Thee, whose temple is all space,   Whose altar earth, sea, skies, One chorus let all being raise,   All Nature’s incense rise!

"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment. 1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right of Replacement or Refund" described

OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. 1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the problem. 1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE. 1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions. 1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause. Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life. Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation web page at http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf. Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email [email protected].  Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official page at http://www.gutenberg.org/about/contact For additional contact information:     Dr. Gregory B. Newby     Chief Executive and Director     [email protected] Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS. The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate. International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:     http://www.gutenberg.org This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

Rabbi Ben Ezra by Robert Browning
Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be, The last of life, for which the first was made: Our times are in His hand Who saith "A whole I planned, Youth shows but half; trust God: see all, nor be afraid!'' Not that, amassing flowers, Youth sighed "Which rose make ours, Which lily leave and then as best recall?" Not that, admiring stars, It yearned "Nor Jove, nor Mars; Mine be some figured flame which blends, transcends them all!" Not for such hopes and fears Annulling youth's brief years, Do I remonstrate: folly wide the mark! Rather I prize the doubt Low kinds exist without, Finished and finite clods, untroubled by a spark. Poor vaunt of life indeed, Were man but formed to feed On joy, to solely seek and find and feast: Such feasting ended, then As sure an end to men; Irks care the crop-full bird? Frets doubt the maw-crammed beast? Rejoice we are allied To That which doth provide And not partake, effect and not receive! A spark disturbs our clod; Nearer we hold of God Who gives, than of His tribes that take, I must believe. Then, welcome each rebuff That turns earth's smoothness rough, Each sting that bids nor sit nor stand but go! Be our joys three-parts pain! Strive, and hold cheap the strain; Learn, nor account the pang; dare, never grudge the throe! For thence,—a paradox Which comforts while it mocks,— Shall life succeed in that it seems to fail: What I aspired to be, And was not, comforts me: A brute I might have been, but would not sink i' the scale. What is he but a brute Whose flesh has soul to suit, Whose spirit works lest arms and legs want play? To man, propose this test— Thy body at its best, How far can that project thy soul on its lone way? Yet gifts should prove their use: I own the Past profuse Of power each side, perfection every turn: Eyes, ears took in their dole, Brain treasured up the whole; Should not the heart beat once "How good to live and learn?" Not once beat "Praise be Thine! I see the whole design, I, who saw power, see now love perfect too: Perfect I call Thy plan: Thanks that I was a man!   Maker, remake, complete,—I trust what Thou shalt do!" For pleasant is this flesh; Our soul, in its rose-mesh Pulled ever to the earth, still yearns for rest; Would we some prize might hold To match those manifold Possessions of the brute,—gain most, as we did best! Let us not always say, "Spite of this flesh to-day I strove, made head, gained ground upon the whole!" As the bird wings and sings, Let us cry "All good things Are ours, nor soul helps flesh more, now, than flesh helps soul!" Therefore I summon age To grant youth's heritage, Life's struggle having so far reached its term: Thence shall I pass, approved A man, for aye removed From the developed brute; a god though in the germ. And I shall thereupon Take rest, ere I be gone Once more on my adventure brave and new: Fearless and unperplexed, When I wage battle next, What weapons to select, what armour to indue. Youth ended, I shall try My gain or loss thereby; Leave the fire ashes, what survives is gold: And I shall weigh the same, Give life its praise or blame: Young, all lay in dispute; I shall know, being old. For note, when evening shuts, A certain moment cuts The deed off, calls the glory from the grey: A whisper from the west Shoots—"Add this to the rest, Take it and try its worth: here dies another day." So, still within this life, Though lifted o'er its strife, Let me discern, compare, pronounce at last, This rage was right i' the main, That acquiescence vain: The Future I may face now I have proved the Past." For more is not reserved To man, with soul just nerved To act to-morrow what he learns to-day: Here, work enough to watch The Master work, and catch Hints of the proper craft, tricks of the tool's true play. As it was better, youth Should strive, through acts uncouth, Toward making, than repose on aught found made: So, better, age, exempt From strife, should know, than tempt Further. Thou waitedst age: wait death nor be afraid! Enough now, if the Right And Good and Infinite Be named here, as thou callest thy hand thine own With knowledge absolute, Subject to no dispute From fools that crowded youth, nor let thee feel alone. Be there, for once and all, Severed great minds from small, Announced to each his station in the Past! Was I, the world arraigned, Were they, my soul disdained, Right? Let age speak the truth and give us peace at last! Now, who shall arbitrate? Ten men love what I hate, Shun what I follow, slight what I receive; Ten, who in ears and eyes Match me: we all surmise, They this thing, and I that: whom shall my soul believe? Not on the vulgar mass Called "work," must sentence pass, Things done, that took the eye and had the price; O'er which, from level stand, The low world laid its hand, Found straightway to its mind, could value in a trice: But all, the world's coarse thumb And finger failed to plumb, So passed in making up the main account; All instincts immature, All purposes unsure, That weighed not as his work, yet swelled the man's amount: Thoughts hardly to be packed Into a narrow act, Fancies that broke through language and escaped; All I could never be, All, men ignored in me, This, I was worth to God, whose wheel the pitcher shaped. Ay, note that Potter's wheel, That metaphor! and feel Why time spins fast, why passive lies our clay,— Thou, to whom fools propound, When the wine makes its round, "Since life fleets, all is change; the Past gone, seize to-day!" Fool! All that is, at all, Lasts ever, past recall; Earth changes, but thy soul and God stand sure: What entered into thee, That was, is, and shall be: Time's wheel runs back or stops: Potter and clay endure. He fixed thee mid this dance Of plastic circumstance, This Present, thou, forsooth, wouldst fain arrest: Machinery just meant To give thy soul its bent, Try thee and turn thee forth, sufficiently impressed. What though the earlier grooves, Which ran the laughing loves Around thy base, no longer pause and press? What though, about thy rim, Skull-things in order grim Grow out, in graver mood, obey the sterner stress? Look not thou down but up! To uses of a cup, The festal board, lamp's flash and trumpet's peal, The new wine's foaming flow, The Master's lips a-glow! Thou, heaven's consummate cup, what need'st thou with earth's wheel? But I need, now as then, Thee, God, who mouldest men; And since, not even while the whirl was worst, Did I,—to the wheel of life With shapes and colours rife, Bound dizzily,—mistake my end, to slake Thy thirst: So, take and use Thy work: Amend what flaws may lurk, What strain o' the stuff, what warpings past the aim! My times be in Thy hand! Perfect the cup as planned! Let age approve of youth, and death complete the same!
