* * Stephen was once again seated beside his father in the corner of a railway carriage at Kingsbridge. Damn him one way or the other! APRIL 14. And out of those ages, to whose polite wisdom and letters we owe that we are not yet Goths and Jutlanders, I could name him who from his private house wrote that discourse to the Parliament of Athens, that persuades them to change the form of democracy which was then established. -- Pull out his eyes, Apologize, Apologize, Pull out his…

--Mr Cranly! A smile flew across Stephen's face as he thought of his friend's studies. I jumped to my feet again and was conscious of darkness. I have taken an oath today in the presence of God and my countrymen to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States. What he would not permit this office to consist of was yet to be settled: there was a queer relief, at all events--I mean for myself in especial--in the renouncement of one pretension.…

*** Thomas Jefferson Second Inaugural Address Monday, March 4, 1805 PROCEEDING, fellow-citizens, to that qualification which the Constitution requires before my entrance on the charge again conferred on me, it is my duty to express the deep sense I entertain of this new proof of confidence from my fellow-citizens at large, and the zeal with which it inspires me so to conduct myself as may best satisfy their just expectations. --So we must distinguish between elliptical and ellipsoidal. --I am…

Donations are tax-deductible to the maximum extent permitted by law. New things are often found hard to do. He moved with a shambling gait round the group and spoke to Stephen. He could not strive against another.

--You're a terrible man, Stevie, said Davin, taking the short pipe from his mouth, always alone. --What are you laughing at? asked Stephen. For there again, against the glass, as if to blight his confession and stay his answer, was the hideous author of our woe--the white face of damnation. I should not have been prompted, by stress of need, by desperation of mind--I scarce know what to call it--to invoke such further aid to intelligence as might spring from pushing my colleague fairly to the…

We shall deal with our economic system as it is and as it may be modified, not as it might be if we had a clean sheet of paper to write upon; and step by step we shall make it what it should be, in the spirit of those who question their own wisdom and seek counsel and knowledge, not shallow self-satisfaction or the excitement of excursions whither they can not tell. Saint Thomas, the greatest doctor of the church, the angelic doctor, as he is called, says that the worst damnation consists in…

They flew round and round the jutting shoulder of a house in Molesworth Street. A rigid control, from the next day, was, as I have said, to follow them; yet how often and how passionately, for a week, we came back together to the subject! Much as we had discussed it that Sunday night, I was, in the immediate later hours in especial--for it may be imagined whether I slept--still haunted with the shadow of something she had not told me. " "I quite understand your feeling," I hastened to reply;…

The green square of paper pinned round the lamp cast down a tender shade. He closed his eyes and the train went on, roaring and then stopping; roaring again, stopping.

With a kind of fury of intention. Banish from your minds all worldly thoughts and think only of the last things, death, judgement, hell, and heaven. And for ages men had gazed upward as he was gazing at birds in flight.

Father Dolan and I, when I told them all at dinner about it, Father Dolan and I had a great laugh over it. Our eyelid closes before we are aware that the fly is about to enter our eye. Moynihan whispered from behind: --Good old Fresh Water Martin! --Ask him, Stephen whispered back with weary humour, if he wants a subject for electrocution. --Probably I shall go away, he said.…

Prices must reflect the receding fever of war activities. I know they are as lively, and as vigorously productive, as those fabulous dragon's teeth; and being sown up and down, may chance to spring up armed men. He had not even remembered rightly Nash's line. It is the constitutional method of ascertaining the public will.

As I'm not a fiend, at any rate, I shouldn't take him in.

"I assure you, miss, I do nothing else! What will you say, then?" she immediately added. She left it, at the end of the year, to go home, as she said, for a short holiday, to which the time she had put in had certainly given her a right. --I will ask you, therefore, my dear boys, to put away from your minds during these few days all worldly thoughts, whether of study or pleasure or ambition, and to give all your attention to the state of your souls. --If that is rhythm, said Lynch, let me hear…

The exclamation was homely, but it revealed a real acceptance of my further proof of what, in the bad time-- for there had been a worse even than this!--must have occurred. The time at which I stand before you is full of interest. A voice asked who was there and I answered I was over at the match in Buttevant and was walking back and that I'd be thankful for a glass of water.

But he could no longer disbelieve in the reality of love, since God Himself had loved his individual soul with divine love from all eternity.

It was long ago, and this episode was long before. He was in a black sweater and had a hurley stick. He let it rebound twice or thrice to his hand and struck it strongly and swiftly towards the base of the alley, exclaiming in answer to its thud: --Your soul! Stephen stood with Lynch till the score began to rise. You know Epictetus? --An old gentleman, said Stephen coarsely, who said that the soul is very like a bucketful of water.…

He sat looking at the two prints of butter on his plate but could not eat the damp bread. Preeminently, the power of our advocacy reposes in our example; but no example, be it remembered, can be powerful for lasting good, whatever apparent advantages may be gained, which is not based upon eternal principles of right and justice.

XIV Walking to church a certain Sunday morning, I had little Miles at my side and his sister, in advance of us and at Mrs. I knew, nonetheless, exactly what dreadful face she had to show; and I wondered whether, if instead of being above I had been below, I should have had, for going up, the same nerve I had lately shown Quint.

She turned right and left in her distress. It is they, the foul demons, who are made in hell the voices of conscience. These resources are amply sufficient to bring the war to an honorable issue.

Grose appeared to me on the spot a creature so charming as to make it a great fortune to have to do with her. But we are approaching the limits of what government alone can do. A nice bowl of gruel? Won't you now? MARCH 24. " "Ah, then, is THAT what you've stayed over for?" He spoke with a gaiety through which I could still catch the finest little quiver of resentful passion; but I can't begin to express the effect upon me of an implication of surrender even so faint.…
