" VI It took of course more than that particular passage to place us together in presence of what we had now to live with as we could-- my dreadful liability to impressions of the order so vividly exemplified, and my companion's knowledge, henceforth--a knowledge half consternation and half compassion--of that liability. Aubrey was at school and had only an hour or two free in the evening. A skull appeared suspended in the gloom of the doorway. No hour of my stay in fact was so assailed with…

That spirit - that faith - speaks to us in our daily lives in ways often unnoticed, because they seem so obvious. If you don't derive profits, no royalty is due. "You see me asking him for a visit?" No, with her eyes on my face she evidently couldn't. I will compress them within the narrowest compass they will bear, stating the general principle, but not all its limitations.…

One does not seem to stand quite apart from another. Scarce anything in the whole history seems to me so odd as this fact that my real beginning of fear was one, as I may say, with the instinct of sparing my companion. The voice of the director urging upon him the proud claims of the church and the mystery and power of the priestly office repeated itself idly in his memory. For some time he had felt the slight change in his house; and those changes in what he had deemed unchangeable were so…

Under the sudden glow of a lantern he could recognize the smiling face of a priest. This I took for a sign that he had himself something to produce and that we should only have to wait. At the very instant of death the bonds of the flesh are broken asunder and the soul at once flies towards God as towards the centre of her existence. Let it be impressed upon all hearts that, beautiful as our fabric is, no earthly power or wisdom could ever reunite its broken fragments.…

And yet--and yet!" There were too many things. The mind is arrested and raised above desire and loathing. Dishonored and tragic, she was all before me; but even as I fixed and, for memory, secured it, the awful image passed away. " Then, to show how I had thought it all out: "My predecessor-- the one who died.

In recent years, that faith has been challenged. But God was merciful to poor sinners who were truly sorry. It leads to eugenics rather than to esthetic. " "In spite of the difference--?" "Oh, of their rank, their condition"--she brought it woefully out.

His last phrase, sour smelling as the smoke of charcoal and disheartening, excited Stephen's brain, over which its fumes seemed to brood. It could happen in an instant. Stephen, scarlet with shame, opened a book quickly with one weak hand and bent down upon it, his face close to the page. It will take us but ten minutes, but it's far enough to have made the child prefer not to walk.…

You may imagine the general complexion, from that moment, of my nights. Let each man see to it that the dedication is in his own heart, the high purpose of the nation in his own mind, ruler of his own will and desire. We must make sure of the newcomers. "They won't take him?" "They absolutely decline.

Today marks the beginning not only of a new administration, but of a period that will be eventful, perhaps decisive, for us and for the world. You implore now a moment of earthly life wherein to repent: In vain. He bent down and asked her was there a chapel near. "What has he done?" I hesitated; then I judged best simply to hand her my letter-- which, however, had the effect of making her, without taking it, simply put her hands behind her.…

O, what a dreadful punishment! An eternity of endless agony, of endless bodily and spiritual torment, without one ray of hope, without one moment of cessation, of agony limitless in intensity, of torment infinitely varied, of torture that sustains eternally that which it eternally devours, of anguish that everlastingly preys upon the spirit while it racks the flesh, an eternity, every instant of which is itself an eternity of woe. If I should thus far presume upon the meek demeanour of your…

Mrs Dedalus rose quickly and followed her towards the door. A quartet of them, soldiers of the ninety-seventh infantry regiment, sat at the foot of the cross and tossed up dice for the overcoat of the crucified. Evening had fallen when he woke and the sand and arid grasses of his bed glowed no longer. These are some of the principles which America represents.

I'm an Irish nationalist, first and foremost. I might easily put an end to my predicament by getting away altogether. While his mind had been pursuing its intangible phantoms and turning in irresolution from such pursuit he had heard about him the constant voices of his father and of his masters, urging him to be a gentleman above all things and urging him to be a good catholic above all things. But I so far succeeded in checking the expression of this view that I will throw, just here, no…

That must have been a terrible sin, to go in there quietly at night, to open the dark press and steal the flashing gold thing into which God was put on the altar in the middle of flowers and candles at benediction while the incense went up in clouds at both sides as the fellow swung the censer and Dominic Kelly sang the first part by himself in the choir. I have seen the hunger of a homeless child, the pain of a man wounded in battle, the grief of a mother who has lost her son. This is also a…

" "Won't YOU tell, Douglas?" somebody else inquired.

And that the primitive Councils and bishops were wont only to declare what books were not commendable, passing no further, but leaving it to each one's conscience to read or to lay by, till after the year 800, is observed already by Padre Paolo, the great unmasker of the Trentine Council. It is appointed unto man to die and after death the judgement. The laws should be rigidly enforced which prohibit the immigration of a servile class to compete with American labor, with no intention of…

--But he, Temple said, pointing to Cranly, he is a ballocks, too, like me. I can't express what followed it save by saying that the silence itself-- which was indeed in a manner an attestation of my strength-- became the element into which I saw the figure disappear; in which I definitely saw it turn as I might have seen the low wretch to which it had once belonged turn on receipt of an order, and pass, with my eyes on the villainous back that no hunch could have more disfigured, straight down…

America, at its best, matches a commitment to principle with a concern for civility. There is another ground for the adoption of the veto principle, which had probably more influence in recommending it to the Convention than any other. Dante turned on her and said: --And am I to sit here and listen to the pastors of my church being flouted? --Nobody is saying a word against them, said Mr Dedalus, so long as they don't meddle in politics.

"Went where?" Her expression, at this, became extraordinary. Mr Dedalus laughed loudly and lay back in his chair while uncle Charles swayed his head to and fro. It was one day down in Arklow, a cold bitter day, not long before the chief died. The rector entered and took his seat on the dais.
