We feel the millions of humanity beneath us,--
The warm millions, moving under the roofs,
Consumed by their own desires;
Preparing food,
Sobbing alone in a garret,
With burning eyes bending over a needle,
Aimlessly reading the evening paper,
Dancing in the naked light of the café,
Laying out the dead,
Bringing a child to birth--
The sorrow, the torpor, the bitterness, the frail joy
Come up to us
Like a cold fog
wrapping
us round.

He does not know that sickening thirst
That sands one's throat, before
The hangman with his gardener's gloves
Slips through the padded door,
And binds one with three
leathern
thongs,
That the throat may thirst no more.

Aquinas - Medieval Europe |

About the temple of Neptune we met with them, and joined
fight with a great cry, which was
answered
with an echo out of the
whale as if it had been out of a cave: but we soon put them to flight,
being naked people, and chased them into the wood, making ourselves
masters of the country.

Lucian - True History |

Under the
influence of the doctrine of evolution, he has undertaken to class all
literary facts as the great naturalists of the day have classed the
facts of physiology, and to show that literary forms spring from each
other by way of transformation in the same way as do the forms of
animal or
vegetable
life.

Et c'était justement quand il
cherchait puissamment à être nouveau, qu'on reconnaissait sous les
différences apparentes, les similitudes profondes, et les ressemblances
voulues qu'il y avait au sein d'une œuvre, quand Vinteuil
reprenait
à
diverses reprises une même phrase, la diversifiait, s'amusait à
changer son rythme, à la faire reparaître sous sa forme première, ces
ressemblances-là voulues, œuvre de l'intelligence, forcément
superficielles, n'arrivaient jamais à être aussi frappantes que ces
ressemblances, dissimulées, involontaires, qui éclataient sous des
couleurs différentes, entre les deux chefs-d'œuvre distincts; car
alors Vinteuil, cherchant à être nouveau, s'interrogeait lui-même, de
toute la puissance de son effort créateur, atteignait sa propre essence
à ces profondeurs où, quelque question qu'on lui pose, c'est du même
accent, le sien propre, qu'elle répond.
