Seite 262 - There is on earth a thing more bootless still Than to write figures on a running stream: — And that thing is (believe me if you will) To dream of one who ne'er of you doth dream.
Seite 288 - Pray, what may it be ? HUSBAND. — Why, just simply this: it is that I have told my old woman not to intrude on my devotions; but, being the vixen that she is, who knows but what she may not peep and look in? in which case she would make a fine noise if there were no semblance of a religious practice to be seen; and so, though it is giving you a great deal of trouble, I wish you would oblige me by taking my place until my return. SERVANT. — Oh ! it would be no trouble ; but I shall get such a...
Seite 267 - A youth once lov'd me, and his love I spurn'd. But see the vengeance of the pow'rs above On cold indiff'rence: — now 'tis I that love, And my fond love, alas ! is not returned.
Seite 249 - Twixt thee and mother I would lay my head: — Oh ! leave me not alone ! " Then with his pretty prattle in mine ears, I'd lie awake and scan The good and evil of the coming years, And see the child a man. And, as the seaman trusts his bark, I'd trust That nought could harm the boy: — Alas! I wist not that the whirling gust Would shipwreck all my joy ! Then with despairing, helpless hands I grasp'd The sacred mirror's * sphere ; And round my shoulder I my garments clasp'd, And...
Seite 262 - With roseate hues that pierce th' autumnal haze The spreading dawn lights up Akashi's shore; But the fair ship, alas ! is seen no more : — An island veils it from my loving gaze. Attributed to Hitomaro.
Seite 285 - I want to tell you how much my spirits have been affected lately by continual dreams that I have had. That is why I have called you. WIFE. You are talking rubbish. Dreams proceed from organic disturbance, and do not come true; so pray don't trouble your head about them. HUSBAND. What you say is quite correct. Dreams, proceeding as they do from organic disturbance, do not come true nine times out of ten. Still, mine have affected my spirits to such an extent, that I think of making some pilgrimage...
Seite 286 - HUSBAND. Well, I should say about a week or two. WIFE. That won't do either, if it is to last so many days. HUSBAND. Then for how long would my own darling consent to it without complaining? WIFE. About one hour is what I should suggest; but, however, if you can do it in a day, you are welcome to try.
Seite 36 - T6-no-Chiujio quickly nodded assent, as he said, " Quite true ! A woman who has no strength of emotion, no passion of sorrow or of joy, can never be holders of us. Nay even jealousy, if not carried to the extent of undue suspicion, is not undesirable. If we ourselves are not in fault, and leave the matter alone, such jealousy may easily be kept within due bounds. But stop " — added he suddenly — " Some women have to bear, and do bear, every grief that they may encounter with unmurmuring and suffering...
Seite 36 - She should, above all things, strive not to give way to excitement ; and when she experiences any unpleasantness, she should speak of it frankly but with moderation. And if there should be anything worse than unpleasantness she should even then complain of it in such a way as not to irritate the men. If she guides her conduct on principles such as these, even her very words, her very demeanor, may in all probability increase his sympathy and consideration for her. One's self-denial and the restraint...
Seite 288 - Do oblige me by taking my place ; for I will not allow her to scold you. SERVANT. — Oh sir ! that is all very well ; but pray excuse me for this time. HUSBAND. — No, no! you must please do this for me; for I will not so much as let her point a finger at you. SERVANT. — Please, please let me off ! HUSBAND.
