The dull routine of the studies to which the young gentlemen under his care were condemned, was only varied by an occasional run with the beagles in the autumn, a row on the river, a fragrant pipe, and a game of billiards at the nearest place of accommodation for that jiarticular mode of passing one's time, and a Avalk in Richmond Park iur tliose who were fond of ;;cer;ery and exerci.::e. lUr. Landy was considered a good coach. He had estab­ lished a reputation for sending men well up to their work to the universities, to civil service and army examination-^, and for fitting them generally for every v.alk in life, which chance, inclination, or the sweet •\^•ill of their parents marked out for them. He never advertised. That ^va3 low and far beneath him. His cor.iieclion v.as liood, and his house, a lame one, was B I THE MAN OF THE PERIOD. always full. The young men whose minds and morals lie was supposed to look after, were, many of them public-school boys, whose education, according to the Public Schools Commissioners, is always shamefully lif'glected, while their muscular Christianity was v\- disputable, and that was about all that could be said for them. The physical-force mania has increased won­ derfully of late years ; and though Landy did nothing lo check it, he told his pupils plainly, that he could imt pass them unless they gave him as much of their undivided attention as seemed fit and advisable to their growing minds. As a rule they were responsive to the appeal, because they could not be blind to their own interests. So they ground away at dead and living- languages and mathematics with an energy which con­ trasted strangely with the listless apathy which the )()nth of the day think it becoming to assume on (U'dinary occasions. They bought light literatui'e, how­ ever, recklessly; thinking its perusal a harmless iv- creation, and were great at the bookstall ;it the station, of which they were munificent jiatrons. A I'avourite amusement of theirs was to stare somewhat rudely at a pretty woman when they chanced to meet one; and if their ingenuity enabled them to find out a decent- looking shop-girl in any of the villages within a radius of five miles, they would rush to make absurd pur­ chases, and talk wildly to one another in the evening about her hair and eyes, Avitli the usual fervour of impetuous and gilded youth. In short, they were neither better nor worse than the nin of gentlemen's sons; and if they wore not brilliant, they were not verv vicioiU'. In the ]_H'e;inning of October, ;i vear or t^x) Jiiin, LANDY'S. 3 Mr. Landy's establishment was somewhat reduced; two men had gone up for the Indian Civil, and, strange to say, passed. Some had matriculated at Oxford; and one had perversely lost his life on an Alp. He always was fond of climbiiig. He Avould go up an apple-tree or a sanJ-hill, or even a painter's ladder at the side of a house, rather than not climb at all; and at last he came to grief, and hjs climbing was oAcr. There were not more than ten or a dozen at 3,Ioii- conibe House. Three of those who had been there longer than the others formed themselves into a clique. How is it that this sort of cliqueism will pervade the lives of the English, do wdiat they will, or go where they like? Their names ATcre Cook, .Vrden. and Viscount Bracken; the latter incorrigibly stujrM, but very geu- tiemanly. Some letters arrived in the evening, and one di­ rected to ^Matthew Arden was opened eagerly.

  • The Wisdom of Jesus the Son of Sirach, Ecclesiasticus
    1 THE WISDOM OF JESUS THE SON OF SIRACH, OR ECCLESIASTICUS The Wisdom of Jesus the Son of Sirach, also called Ecclesias- ticus, is recognized as Deuterocanonical Scripture by the Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox, and Russian Orthodox Churches. The Prologue of the Wisdom of Jesus the Son of Sirach. WHEREAS many and great things have been delivered to us by the law and the prophets, and by the others that have followed in their steps, for which we must give Israel the praise for instruction and wisdom; and since not only the readers need to become skillful themselves, but also those who love learning must be able to profit those who are outside, both by speaking and writing; my grandfather Jesus, having much given himself to the reading of the law, and the prophets, and the other books of our fathers, and having gained great familiarity with them, was also drawn on himself to write somewhat pertaining to instruction and wisdom, in order that those who love learning, and are devoted to these things, might make progress much more by living according to the law. You are entreated therefore to read with favor and attention, and to pardon us, if in any parts of what we have labored to interpret, we may seem to fail in some of the phrases. For things originally spoken in Hebrew don’t have the same force in them when they are translated into another language. Not only these, but the law itself, and the prophecies, and the rest of the books, have no small difference, when they are spoken in their original Sirach 1:1 2 Sirach 1:9 language.

    DIRECTION VIII.—SECOND GENERAL PART. [ARGUMENT PRESSING THE EXHORTATION.] ‘Whereby ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked’ (Eph. 6:16) We have done with the exhortation, and now come to the second general part of the verse, viz. a powerful argument pressing this exhortation, contained in these words—‘Whereby ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.’ ‘Ye shall be able.’ Not an uncertain ‘may be ye shall;’ but he is peremptory and absolute—‘ye shall be able.’ But what to do? ‘able to quench’—not only to resist and repel, but ‘to quench.’ But what shall they ‘quench?’ Not ordinary temptations only, but the worst arrows the devil hath in his quiver—‘fiery darts;’ and not some few of them, but ‘all the fiery darts of the wicked.’ In this second general there are two particulars. FIRST. The saint’s enemy described—‘The wicked.’ SECOND. The power and puissance of faith over the enemy—‘Ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.’ DIVISION FIRST.—THE SAINT’S ENEMY DESCRIBED. ‘The Wicked.’ Here we have the saint’s enemy described in stomachs into a loathing of sin above all things in the three particulars. FIRST. In their nature—‘wicked.’ world, and provoke their pure souls as to hatred and SECOND. In their unity—‘wicked,’ or ‘wicked one,’ detestation of all sin, so [to] a vigorous resistance of J@Ø B@<ZD@Ø, in the singular number. THIRD. In the devil and his instruments, as such, who are their warlike furniture and provision, with which they wicked; which is a name that makes him detestable take the field against the saints—‘darts,’ and they are above any other.

  • Ballad Opera in England: Its Songs, Contributors, and Influence
    BALLAD OPERA IN ENGLAND: ITS SONGS, CONTRIBUTORS, AND INFLUENCE Julie Bumpus A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 7, 2010 Committee: Vincent Corrigan, Advisor Mary Natvig ii ABSTRACT Vincent Corrigan, Advisor The ballad opera was a popular genre of stage entertainment in England that flourished roughly from 1728 (beginning with John Gay's The Beggar's Opera) to 1760. Gay's original intention for the genre was to satirize not only the upper crust of British society, but also to mock the “excesses” of Italian opera, which had slowly been infiltrating the concert life of Britain. The Beggar's Opera and its successors were to be the answer to foreign opera on British soil: a truly nationalistic genre that essentially was a play (building on a long-standing tradition of English drama) with popular music interspersed throughout. My thesis explores the ways in which ballad operas were constructed, what meanings the songs may have held for playwrights and audiences, and what influence the genre had in England and abroad. The thesis begins with a general survey of the origins of ballad opera, covering theater music during the Commonwealth, Restoration theatre, the influence of Italian Opera in England, and The Beggar’s Opera. Next is a section on the playwrights and composers of ballad opera. The playwrights discussed are John Gay, Henry Fielding, and Colley Cibber. Purcell and Handel are used as examples of composers of source material and Mr. Seedo and Pepusch as composers and arrangers of ballad opera music.

  • TALES of the FIVE TOWNS by ARNOLD BENNETT
    TALES OF THE FIVE TOWNS By ARNOLD BENNETT First published January 1905 TO MARCEL SCHWOB MY LITERARY GODFATHER IN FRANCE PART I AT HOME HIS WORSHIP THE GOOSEDRIVER I It was an amiable but deceitful afternoon in the third week of December. Snow fell heavily in the windows of confectioners' shops, and Father Christmas smiled in Keats's Bazaar the fawning smile of a myth who knows himself to be exploded; but beyond these and similar efforts to remedy the forgetfulness of a careless climate, there was no sign anywhere in the Five Towns, and especially in Bursley, of the immediate approach of the season of peace, goodwill, and gluttony on earth. At the Tiger, next door to Keats's in the market-place, Mr. Josiah Topham Curtenty had put down his glass (the port was kept specially for him), and told his boon companion, Mr. Gordon, that he must be going. These two men had one powerful sentiment 004in common: they loved the same woman. Mr. Curtenty, aged twenty-six in heart, thirty-six in mind, and forty-six in looks, was fifty-six only in years. He was a rich man; he had made money as an earthenware manufacturer in the good old times before Satan was ingenious enough to invent German competition, American tariffs, and the price of coal; he was still making money with the aid of his son Harry, who now managed the works, but he never admitted that he was making it. No one has yet succeeded, and no one ever will succeed, in catching an earthenware manufacturer in the act of making money; he may confess with a sigh that he has performed the feat in the past, he may give utterance to a vague, preposterous hope that he will perform it again in the remote future, but as for surprising him in the very act, you would as easily surprise a hen laying an egg.

  • Enlightenment Allegory: Adapting The
    ENLIGHTENMENT ALLEGORY: ADAPTING THE ALLEGORICAL FORM IN BRITISH LITERATURE, 1660-1750 By JASON GULYA A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Literatures in English Written under the direction of Michael McKeon and approved by _______________________________________ _______________________________________ _______________________________________ _______________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey October, 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Enlightenment Allegory: Adapting the Allegorical Form in British Literature, 1660-1750 By JASON GULYA Dissertation Director: Michael McKeon Allegory is a literary form that teaches through misdirection, telling its readers it is about one thing while actually being about another. It encourages readers to interpret figuratively for religious, political, or moral meanings rather then look only at the narrative’s literal meaning. Enlightenment Allegory argues that the period from about 1660 to about 1750 is especially important for the history of allegory. During this period, allegory adapted to many of the historical and cultural changes accompanying the British Enlightenment—including the increasing authority of empirical epistemology, the gradual spread of secular thinking, and the growing expectation for semiotic transparency. The project’s main argument is that eighteenth-century writers responded to these changes by modalizing the allegorical genre, meaning that they separated the previously indivisible literary form into its components and used those components apart from their original overarching structure. This process of modalization resulted in the coexistence of generic and modal allegory, with some writers approaching it as a self- ii contained, continuous genre and others as a mode that could be used selectively and discontinuously.

  • Gilbert Keith Chesterton - Poems
    Classic Poetry Series Gilbert Keith Chesterton - poems - Publication Date: 2012 Publisher: Poemhunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive Gilbert Keith Chesterton(29 May 1874 – 14 June 1936) Gilbert Keith Chesterton was an English writer. He published works on philosophy, ontology, poetry, plays, journalism, public lectures and debates, literary and art criticism, biography, Christian apologetics, and fiction, including fantasy and detective fiction. Chesterton has been called the "prince of paradox". Time magazine, in a review of a biography of Chesterton, observed of his writing style: "Whenever possible Chesterton made his points with popular sayings, proverbs, allegories—first carefully turning them inside out." For example, Chesterton wrote "Thieves respect property. They merely wish the property to become their property that they may more perfectly respect it." Chesterton is well known for his reasoned apologetics and even some of those who disagree with him have recognized the universal appeal of such works as Orthodoxy and The Everlasting Man. Chesterton, as a political thinker, cast aspersions on both progressivism and conservatism, saying, "The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of the Conservatives is to prevent the mistakes from being corrected." Chesterton routinely referred to himself as an "orthodox" Christian, and came to identify such a position more and more with Catholicism, eventually converting to Roman Catholicism

  • The Oxford Dictionary of Modern Quotations.TXT
    The Oxford Dictionary of Modern Quotations PREFACE Preface =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This is a completely new dictionary, containing about 5,000 quotations. What is a "quotation"? It is a saying or piece of writing that strikes people as so true or memorable that they quote it (or allude to it) in speech or writing. Often they will quote it directly, introducing it with a phrase like "As ---- says" but equally often they will assume that the reader or listener already knows the quotation, and they will simply allude to it without mentioning its source (as in the headline "A ros‚ is a ros‚ is a ros‚," referring obliquely to a line by Gertrude Stein). This dictionary has been compiled from extensive evidence of the quotations that are actually used in this way. The dictionary includes the commonest quotations which were found in a collection of more than 200,000 citations assembled by combing books, magazines, and newspapers. For example, our collections contained more than thirty examples each for Edward Heath's "unacceptable face of capitalism" and Marshal McLuhan's "The medium is the message," so both these quotations had to be included. As a result, this book is not--like many quotations dictionaries--a subjective anthology of the editor's favourite quotations, but an objective selection of the quotations which are most widely known and used. Popularity and familiarity are the main criteria for inclusion, although no reader is likely to be familiar with all the quotations in this dictionary. The book can be used for reference or for browsing: to trace the source of a particular quotation or to find an appropriate saying for a special need.
