Xanthian to Ximenes
A Concordance to the Collected Essays of Ralph Waldo Emerson
Compiled by Eugene F. Irey
Xanthian, adj. (1)
ET5 5.91 25 In the same [English] spirit, were the
excavation and research by Sir Charles Followes for the Xanthian
monument...
Xanthus, n. (1)
Tran 1.350 17 All that the brave Xanthus brings home
from his wars is the recollection that at the storming of Samos, in the
heat of the battle, Pericles smiled on me, and passed on to another
detachment.
Xanthus, Turkey, n. (1)
Edc1 10.145 22 ...Sir Charles Fellowes...being at
Xanthus...had seen a Turk point with his staff to some carved work on
the corner of a stone...
Xenien, n. (1)
GoW 4.288 6 ...notwithstanding the looseness of many
of [Goethe's] works, we have volumes of detached paragraphs, aphorisms,
Xenien, etc.
Xenophanes, n. (3)
Nat 1.43 6 Xenophanes complained in his old age,
that...all things hastened back to Unity.
LE 1.160 26 Any history of philosophy fortifies my
faith, by showing me that what high dogmas I had supposed were...only
now possible to some recent Kant or Fichte,-were the prompt
improvisations of the earliest inquirers; of Parmenides, Heraclitus,
and Xenophanes.
Ill 6.324 5 The early Greek philosophers Heraclitus
and Xenophanes measured their force on this problem of identity.
Xenophon, n. (11)
Hist 2.14 19 We have the civil history of [the Greek]
people, as Herodotus, Thucydides, Xenophon, and Plutarch have given
it;...
Hist 2.25 2 ...[in the Grecian period] the habit of
[each man's] supplying his own needs educates the body to wonderful
performances. Such are the Agamemnon and Diomed of Homer, and not far
different is the picture Xenophon gives of himself and his
compatriots...
Hist 2.25 7 ...Xenophon arose naked, and taking an
axe, began to split wood;...
Hsm1 2.258 9 The pictures which fill the imagination
in reading the actions of...Xenophon...teach us how needlessly mean our
life is;...
Chr1 3.101 12 Xenophon and his Ten Thousand were
quite equal to what they attempted, and did it;...
Boks 7.200 21 An inestimable trilogy of ancient
social pictures are the three Banquets respectively of Plato, Xenophon
and Plutarch.
Clbs 7.248 9 Plutarch, Xenophon and Plato, who have
celebrated each a banquet of their set, have given us next to no data
of the viands;...
PPo 8.238 21 My father's empire, said Cyrus to
Xenophon, is so large that people perish with cold at one extremity
whilst they are suffocated with heat at the other.
Milt1 12.257 4 Perfections of body and of mind are
attributed to [Milton] by his biographers, that if the anecdotes...had
not been in part furnished or corroborated by political enemies, would
lead us to suspect the portraits were ideal, like the Cyrus of
Xenophon...
WSL 12.339 7 ...nor will [Landor] persuade us to burn
Plato and Xenophon, out of our admiration of Bishop Patrick...
Xenophon's, n. (2)
MLit 12.325 25 [Goethe's journal] was, says Wieland,
as good as Xenophon's Anabasis.
Xerxes, n. (1)
Xerxes', n. (1)
ET4 5.56 10 As [the Northmen] put out to sea again,
the emperor [Charlemagne] gazed long after them, his eyes bathed in
tears. I am tormented with sorrow, he said, when I foresee the evils
they will bring on my posterity. There was reason for these Xerxes'
tears.
Ximenes [Jimenez] de Cisner [Ximenes] (2)
Elo1 7.82 16 The audience [if there be personality in
the orator]...follows like a child its preceptor, and hears what he has
to say. It is as if, amidst the king's council at Madrid, Ximenes urged
that an advantage might be gained of France...
Boks 7.206 11 Ximenes, Columbus...are [Charles V's]
contemporaries.
