And as now she turned towards me, nodding her signal to follow, and went on up
the shadowy passage, rows of gigantic birds — ibis and vulture, and huge sea-
glaucus — glared at me in the false light of their hungry eyes. So I entered the ...

You cry that truth is profaned when your dogmas are questioned. In your shallow
presumption you have meted the dominions of nature, and where your eye halts
its vision, you say, 'There, nature must close;' in the bigotry which adds crime to ...

The gibbering phantoms are gathering round you I" The man's voice stopped

Popularne fragmenty
Strona 60 - It is not anxiety for your reputation, that is established ; nor for your fortune, that is made ; it is not anxiety for a patient, or you would scarcely be here. But anxiety it is, an anxiety that is remote from your profession, that touches your heart and is new to it!
Strona ix - Man reveals God; for man by his intelligence rises above nature, and in virtue of this intelligence is conscious of himself as a power not only independent of, but opposed to, nature, and capable of resisting, conquering, and .controlling her.
Strona 176 - Hush, is it not a grand old air?" and lifting his eyes towards the sun, he gave vent to a voice clear and deep as a mighty bell! The air was grand; the words had a sonorous swell that suited it, and they seemed to me jubilant and yet solemn. He stopped abruptly as a path from the lane had led us into the fields, already half-bathed in sunlight, dews glittering on the hedgerows. "Your song," said I, "would go well with the clash of cymbals or the peal of the organ.
Strona 281 - I refuse to have defined, because I am unwilling that any mean apprehension of personal danger should enfeeble my nerves in the discharge of a stern and solemn duty. If I overcome that peril, you will not be my heir; my testament will be remodelled; this letter will be recalled and destroyed. I shall form ties which promise me the happiness I have never hitherto found, though it is common to all men — the affections of home, the caresses of children, among whom I may find one to whom hereafter...
Strona 164 - His vein of talk was peculiar, off-hand, careless, shifting from topic to topic, with a bright rapidity. He said, that he liked the place ; proposed to stay in it some weeks ; asked my address, which I gave to him ; promised to call soon at an early hour, while my time was yet free from professional visits. I...
Strona 386 - I — by repute, the sternest advocate of common sense against fantastic errors; — by profession, the searcher into flesh and blood, and tissue, and nerve, and sinew, for the causes of all that disease the mechanism of the universal human frame; — I, self-boasting physician, sceptic, philosopher, materialist — revolved, not amidst gloomy pines, under grim winter skies, but as I paced slow through laughing meadows, and by the banks of merry streams, in the ripeness of the golden August : the...
Strona vii - ... all which belongs to the life of the spirit. Its practical morality is beyond the forces of humanity. Christianity alone embraces the whole Man. It dissimulates none of the sides of his nature, and avails itself of his miseries and his weakness in order to conduct him to his end in showing him all the want that he has of a succour more exalted...
Strona 361 - He did so. When Sir Philip came forth, towards the dawn, he followed him, saw him enter a narrow street, came up to him, seized him by the arm, demanded all he had about him. Sir Philip tried to shake him off, — struck at him. What follows I spare the reader. The deed was done. He robbed the dead man both of the casket and the purse that he found in the pockets ; had scarcely done so when he heard footsteps.
Strona 180 - ... being perfect, and the sense of vitality exquisitely keen, every injury or lesion finds the whole system rise, as it were, to repel the mischief and communicate the consciousness of it to all those nerves which are the sentinels to the garrison of life. Yet my theory is scarcely borne out by general fact. The Indian savages must have a health as perfect as yours ; a nervous system as fine, — witness their marvellous accuracy of ear, of eye, of scent, probably also of touch ; yet they are indifferent...
Strona 187 - A little urchin, not above six years old, but who was lame, began to cry; he could not run, — he should be left behind. Margrave stooped. " Climb on my shoulder, little one, and I '11 be your horse." The child dried its tears, and delightedly obeyed. "Certainly," said I to myself, "Margrave, after all, must have a nature as gentle as it is simple.
