Seite 82 - And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child ; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father. And his mother answered and said, Not so ; but he shall be called John. And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name.
Seite 92 - ... when some Judge of all the Earth shall wholly do right, and the little hills rejoice on every side ; if, parting with the companions that have given you all the best joy you had on Earth, you desire ever to meet their eyes again and clasp their hands, — where eyes shall no more be dim, nor hands fail ; — if, preparing yourselves to lie down beneath the grass in silence and loneliness, seeing no more beauty, and feeling no more gladness — you would care for the promise to you of a time when...
Seite 63 - So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver, and for an homer of barley, and an half homer of barley.
Seite 26 - Daedalus ipse dolos tecti ambagesque resolvit, caeca regens filo vestigia, tu quoque magnam 30 partem opere in tanto, sineret dolor, Icare, haberes ; bis conatus erat casus effingere in auro, bis patriae cecidere manus. quin...
Seite 83 - And being warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod they departed into their own country another way.
Seite 19 - ... did so; nor do the historians brag of him. Any quantity of heraldries of knaves and faineants you may find in what they call their ' history ' : but this is probably the first time you ever read the name of Robert of Luzarches. I say he ' scarcely cared' — we are not sure that he cared at 311.
Seite 13 - ... gradually yielded into, with gaining grace and submissiveness, during the last three hundred years. And, coming quite up to the porch, everybody must like the pretty French Madonna in the middle of it, with her head a little aside, and her nimbus switched a little aside too, like a becoming bonnet. A Madonna in decadence she is, though, for all, or rather by reason of all, her prettiness, and her gay soubrette's smile ; and she has no business there, neither, for this is St.
Seite 7 - Aisles and porches, lancet windows and roses, you can see elsewhere as well as here — but such carpenter's work, you cannot. It is late, — fully developed flamboyant just past the fifteenth century — and has some Flemish stolidity mixed with the playing French fire of it ; but wood-carving was the Picard's joy from his youth up, and, so far as I know, there is nothing else so beautiful cut out of the goodly trees of the world. Sweet and young-grained wood it is : oak, trained and chosen for...
Seite 28 - Deinde, ut nobis adjuncto sis ; ad accuratam rationis nostrae correctionem, et conjunctionem cum iis qui vere sunt, per lucem veritatis. Et tertium, Salvatori supplex oro, ut ab oculis animorum nostrorum caliginem prorsus abstergas ; ut norimus bene, qui Deus, aut Mortalis habendus. Amen.
Seite 1 - AMIENS has nothing to boast of in the way of towers, — that its central fleche is merely the pretty caprice of a village carpenter, — that the total structure is in dignity inferior to Chartres, in sublimity to Beauvais, in decorative splendour to Rheims, and in loveliness of figure-sculpture to Bourges. It has nothing like the artful pointing and moulding of the arcades of Salisbury — nothing of the might of Durham ; — no Dsedalian inlaying like Florence, no glow of mythic fantasy like Verona.
