black...is for a

without any hope of

attempts to realize the world of thought. Many eager persons
successively
make an experiment in this way, and make themselves ridiculous. ...

master realized all the
tales of magic!

a majestic sense of
power;...and finding and carrying their law in his mind, can, as it
were, see
his simple idea realized up yonder in giddy distances...

he is so honest and

the well-being of
the literary class.

what topic [Goethe] writes upon.
ET1 5.12 23 ...I proceeded to inquire [of Coleridge] if

to
that effect.

neglect the eyes of his
neighbors,--he is really occupied with his own affair and does not
think of
them.

ET9 5.150 5 [The English] have no curiosity about
foreigners, and answer
any information you may volunteer with Oh, Oh! until the informant
makes
up his mind that they shall die in their ignorance, for any help he
will offer. There are really no limits to this conceit...
ET11 5.187 13 [English nobility] is a romance adorning
English life with a
larger horizon; a midway heaven, fulfilling to their sense their fairy
tales
and poetry. This, just as far as the breeding of the nobleman really
made
him brave, handsome, accomplished and great-hearted.
ET11 5.197 9 ...the analysis of the [English] peerage
and gentry shows the
rapid decay and extinction of old families, the continual recruiting of
these
from new blood. The doors, though ostentatiously guarded, are really
open...
ET12 5.211 19 English wealth falling on their school
and university
training, makes a systematic reading of the best authors, and to the
end of a
knowledge how the things whereof they treat really stand...
ET13 5.230 20 But the religion of England...is it the
sects? no; they...are to
the Established Church as cabs are to a coach, cheaper and more
convenient, but really the same thing.
ET16 5.275 9 Still speaking of the Americans, Carlyle
complained that
they dislike the coldness and exclusiveness of the English, and run
away to
France...instead of...confronting Englishmen and acquiring their
culture, who really have much to teach them.
F 6.45 26 This correlation really existing can be
divined.
Pow 6.65 12 These Hoosiers and Suckers are really
better than the
snivelling opposition.
Wsp 6.225 13 The American workman who strikes ten blows
with his
hammer whilst the foreign workman only strikes one, is as really
vanquishing that foreigner as if the blows were aimed at and told on
his
person.

it really is, puts
them off with a traditional or a hypocritical answer, the children
perceive
that it is traditional or hypocritical.
Wsp 6.229 25 ...for ourselves it is really of little
importance what blunders
in statement we make...
Bty 6.286 3 No object really interests us but man...
Bty 6.301 21 There are faces...so flushed and rippled
by the play of
thought, that we can hardly find what the mere features really are.
Ill 6.323 10 At the top or at the bottom of all
illusions, I set the cheat which
still leads us to work and live for appearances; in spite of our
conviction, in
all sane hours, that it is what we really are that avails with friends,
with
strangers, and with fate or fortune.
Civ 7.20 11 In other races [than the Indian and the
negro]...the like progress
that is made by a boy when he cuts his eye-teeth, as we say,--childish
illusions passing daily away and he seeing things really and
comprehensively,--is made by tribes.
Elo1 7.67 8 ...all these several audiences...which
successively appear to
greet the variety of style and topic [of the orator], are really
composed out
of the same persons;...
Elo1 7.76 23 What we really wish for is a mind equal to
any exigency.
Elo1 7.85 22 In a court of justice...[the audience]
really wish to sift the
statements and know what the truth is.
Elo1 7.86 3 ...the court and the county have really
come together to arrive
at these three or four memorable expressions which betrayed the mind
and
meaning of somebody.
DL 7.123 9 [The women of Arthur's court]...said that
the devil was in the
mantle, for really the truth was in the mantle, and was exposing the
ugliness
which each would fain conceal.
Farm 7.153 22 [The farmer] is a person whom a poet of
any clime...would
appreciate as being really a piece of the old Nature...
WD 7.183 20 ...really, the least acceleration of
thought and the least
increase of power of thought, make life to seem and to be of vast
duration.
Boks 7.193 20 It is easy...to demonstrate that though
[a man] should read
from dawn till dark, for sixty years, he must die in the first alcoves
[of the
libraries]. But nothing can be more deceptive than this arithmetic,
where
none but a natural method is really pertinent.
Boks 7.197 12 Of the old Greek books, I think there are
five which we
cannot spare: 1. Homer, who...has really the true fire...
Boks 7.204 2 What is really best in any book is
translatable...
Boks 7.207 27 ...[Jonson] has really illustrated the
England of his time...
Cour 7.259 20 ...the part of the leader and soul of the
vigilance committee, must be taken by stout and sincere men who are
really angry and
determined.
Cour 7.266 12 ...to be really strong we must adhere to
our own means.
Suc 7.287 22 These boasted arts are of very recent
origin. They...do not
really add to our stature.
PI 8.8 21 Natural objects...are really parts of a
symmetrical universe...
PI 8.50 10 Thomas Taylor...is really a better man of
imagination, a better
poet...than any man between Milton and Wordsworth.
PI 8.66 3 In poetry, said Goethe, only the really great
and pure advances
us...
PI 8.67 4 A good poem...goes about the world offering
itself to reasonable
men, who...carry it to their reasonable neighbors. Thus it draws to it
the
wise and generous souls...and, through their sympathy, really
publishing
itself.
SA 8.80 23 I think Hans Andersen's story of the cobweb
cloth woven so
fine that it was invisible--woven for the king's garment--must mean
manners, which do really clothe a princely nature.
SA 8.107 14 ...I believe that with all liberal and
hopeful men there is a firm
faith in the beneficent results which we really enjoy;...
Elo2 8.131 8 [Eloquence] is...the unmistakable sign,
never so casually
given, in tone of voice, or manner, or word, that a greater spirit
speaks from
you than is spoken to in him. But I say, provided your cause is really
honest.
PC 8.219 23 Agassiz and Owen and Huxley...are really
writing to each
other.
PC 8.222 21 ...when [Newton] saw, in the fall of an
apple to the ground, the
fall...of the sun and of all suns to the centre, that perception was
accompanied by the spasm of delight by which the intellect greets a
fact
more immense still, a fact really universal...
Insp 8.293 26 ...really it is not [the fact] which
signifies, but the use we put
it to...
Grts 8.316 21 ...natural is really allied to moral
power...
Grts 8.318 13 ...there are always men who...are really
great as men...
Imtl 8.326 19 ...the churches of Europe are really
sepulchres.
Imtl 8.335 10 We...really are interested in nothing
that ends.
Imtl 8.339 8 Every really able man...considers his
work...as far short of
what it should be.
Dem1 10.26 10 These adepts [in occult facts] have
mistaken flatulency for
inspiration. Were this drivel which they report as the voice of spirits
really
such, we must find out a more decisive suicide.
Aris 10.54 19 Elevation of sentiment, refining and
inspiring the manners, must really take the place of every
distinction...
Chr2 10.120 14 That which I hate and fear is really in
myself...
SovE 10.200 23 You are really interested in your
thought.
SovE 10.207 15 ...if there be really in us the wish to
seek for our superiors... we shall not long look in vain.
SovE 10.208 19 The life of those once omnipotent
traditions was really not
in the legend...
Prch 10.232 6 ...we are...allied to men around us, as
really though not quite
so visibly as the Siamese brothers.
Plu 10.310 11 Usually, when Thales, Anaximenes or
Anaximander are
quoted [by Plutarch], it is really a good judgment.

bounty...
LLNE 10.357 27 ...[the Fourierists] were describers of
that which is really
being done.
MMEm 10.427 7 I sometimes fancy I detect in [Mary Moody
Emerson's] writings a certain...polite and courtly homage to the name
and dignity of
Jesus...really veiling and betraying her organic dislike to any
interference, any mediation between her and the Author of her being...
MMEm 10.432 12 ...the event of [Mary Moody Emerson's]
death had
really such a comic tinge in the eyes of every one who knew her, that
her
friends feared they might, at her funeral, not dare to look at each
other, lest
they should forget the serious proprieties of the hour.
Thor 10.456 18 ...[Thoreau] was really fond of
sympathy...
Thor 10.485 3 It seems...a kind of indignity to so
noble a soul [as Thoreau] that he should depart out of Nature before
yet he has been really shown to
his peers for what he is.
LS 11.6 27 ...we must suppose that the expression, This
do in remembrance
of me, had come to the ear of Luke from some disciple who was present.
What did it really signify?
LS 11.23 2 ...the Almighty God was pleased to qualify
and send forth a
man to teach men...that sacrifice was smoke, and forms were shadows.
This
man lived and died true to this purpose; and now...Christians must
contend
that it is...really a duty, to commemorate him by a certain form [the
Lord's
Supper]...
LVB 11.93 7 ...a crime [the relocation of the
Cherokees] is projected that
confounds our understandings by its magnitude,-a crime that really
deprives us as well as the Cherokees of a country?...
War 11.160 14 The eternal germination of the better has
unfolded new
powers, new instincts, which were really concealed under this rough and
base rind.
War 11.163 27 It is really a thought that built this
portentous war-establishment...
War 11.172 5 The attractiveness of war shows one
thing...this namely, the
conviction of man universally, that...that [a man]...should be himself
a
kingdom and a state;...nothing daunted, and not really poorer if
government, law and order went by the board;...
FSLC 11.206 4 Under the Union I suppose the fact to be
that there are
really two nations, the North and the South.
FSLC 11.207 27 [Abolition] is really the project fit
for this country to
entertain and accomplish.
FSLC 11.208 17 It is really the great task fit for this
country to accomplish, to buy that property [slaves] of the planters...
FSLN 11.232 20 ...really, the world exists, as I
understand it, to teach the
science of liberty...
AKan 11.259 19 Representative Government is really
misrepresentative;...
TPar 11.288 12 It will not be in the acts of city
councils, nor of obsequious
mayors;...that coming generations will study what really befell [in
Boston];...
SMC 11.354 13 ...justice is really desired by all
intelligent beings;...
Wom 11.425 23 Every woman being the...wife, daughter,
sister, mother, of
a man, she can never be very far from his ear, never not of his
counsel, if
she has really something to urge that is good in itself and agreeable
to
nature.
FRO2 11.487 5 Nothing really is so self-publishing, so
divulgatory, as
thought.
FRep 11.516 20 The new conditions of mankind in America
are really
favorable to progress...
FRep 11.518 4 Hitherto government has been that of the
single person or of
the aristocracy. In this country the attempt to resist these elements,
it is
asserted, must throw us into the government...of an inferior class of
professional politicians, who by means of newspapers and caucuses
really
thrust their unworthy minority into the place of the old aristocracy on
the
one side...
FRep 11.526 13 ...really, though you see wealth in the
capitals, it is only a
sprinkling of rich men in the cities and at sparse points;...
PLT 12.7 4 ...these questions which really interest
men, how few can
answer.
PLT 12.7 19 There is really a grievous amount of
unavailableness about
men of wit.
PLT 12.9 25 ...what we really want is not a haste to
act...
PLT 12.48 10 ...the whole ponderous machinery of the
state has really for
its aim just to place this skill of each.
PLT 12.50 11 One would say [Shakespeare] must have been
a thousand
years old when he wrote his first line, so thoroughly is his thought
familiar
to him, and has such scope and so solidly worded, as if it were already
a
proverb and not hereafter to become one. Well, that millennium in
effect is
really only a little acceleration in his process of thought.
PLT 12.52 11 ...because [men] know one thing, we defer
to them in
another, and find them really contemptible.
II 12.73 10 ...really the capital discovery of modern
agriculture is that it
costs no more to keep a good tree than a bad one.
II 12.83 9 The dream which lately floated before the
eyes of the French
nation-that every man shall do that which of all things he prefers, and
shall have three francs a day for doing that-is the real law of the
world; and all good labor, by which society is really served, will be
found to be of
that kind.
II 12.89 2 The joy of knowledge, the late discovery
that the veil which hid
all things from him is really transparent...renew life for [a man].
Mem 12.92 12 [Memory...reports to you not what you
wish, but what really
befell.
Mem 12.96 27 ...one [man] rarely takes an interest in
how the facts really
stand, in the order of cause and effect, without self-reference. This
is an
intellectual man.
CInt 12.116 9 If the colleges...really...had the power
of imparting valuable
thought...we should all rush to their gates;...
CInt 12.117 12 Few men wish to know how the thing
really stands...
MAng1 12.220 8 The human form, says Goethe, cannot be
comprehended
through seeing its surface. It must be stripped of the muscles...the
hidden, the reposing, the foundation of the apparent, must be searched,
if one would
really see and imitate what moves as a beautiful, inseparable whole in
living waves before the eye.
ACri 12.289 10 ...George Sand finds a whole nation...in
which [the Devil] is really the subject of a covert worship.
ACri 12.294 20 ...Shakspeare must have been a thousand
years old when he
wrote his first piece; so thoroughly is his thought familiar to him, so
solidly
worded, as if it were already a proverb, and not only hereafter to
become
one. Well, that millennium is really only a little acceleration in his
process
of thought;...
MLit 12.314 27 The great man, even whilst he relates a
private fact
personal to him, is really leading us away from him to an universal
experience.
EurB 12.367 11 ...Wordsworth...is really a master of
the English language...
EurB 12.373 18 ...[Bulwer] has really seen London
society...
realm, n. (23)
MN 1.212 26 ...[the stars] would have such poets as
Newton, Herschel and
Laplace, that they may re-exist and re-appear in the finer world of
rational
souls, and fill that realm with their fame.
MN 1.224 4 The soul is in her native realm...
Exp 3.62 18 We may climb into the thin and cold realm
of pure geometry
and lifeless science...
Exp 3.71 21 ...every insight from this realm of thought
is felt as initial...
Chr1 3.98 27 The capitalist does not run every hour to
the broker to coin
his advantages into current money of the realm;...
Mrs1 3.129 20 You may keep this [aristocratic,
fashionable] minority out
of sight and out of mind, but it...is one of the estates of the realm.
Nat2 3.173 2 ...I go with my friend to the shore of our
little river, and with
one stroke of the paddle I...pass into a delicate realm of sunset and
moonlight...
NER 3.252 4 [The Sabbath and Bible Conventions] defied
each other, like
a congress of kings, each of whom had a realm to rule...
SwM 4.140 17 ...Swedenborg's revelation is a
confounding of planes,--a
capital offence in so learned a categorist. This is...to carry
individualism
and its fopperies into the realm of essences and generals...
GoW 4.264 22 [The scholar] is...one of the estates of
the realm...
ET12 5.205 20 Oxford is a little aristocracy in itself,
numerous and
dignified enough to rank with other estates in the realm;...
Wsp 6.224 9 A man cannot utter two or three sentences
without disclosing
to intelligent ears precisely where he stands in life and thought,
namely, whether in the kingdom of the senses and the understanding, or
in...the
realm of intuitions and duty.
PI 8.62 26 Now then go in the name of God [said
Merlin], who will protect
and save the King Arthur, and the realm of Logres...
Insp 8.294 8 We esteem nations important, until we
discover...later, that it

the world]...to be the
reason of the difficulty experienced at Christmas and New Year and
other
times, in bestowing gifts;...
Gts 3.164 3 The reason of these discords I conceive to
be that there is no
commensurability between a man and any gift.
Nat2 3.177 7 A susceptible person does not like to
indulge his tastes in this
kind [in passive nature] without the apology of some trivial
necessity:...he

have a
good reason.

moved by the
Holy Ghost to accept the office and administration thereof, for no

often.

DL 7.122 23 I honor that man whose ambition it is...to

the same.
WD 7.178 25 ...Homer said, The gods ever give to

Boks 7.199 6 [Plato] would suffice for the tuition of

understanding, and to express their reason.
Boks 7.214 2 ...what is the imagination? Only an arm or

Clbs 7.229 13 ...the days come when we are alarmed, and

Clbs 7.230 13 ...a natural fact has only half its value
until a fact in moral
nature, its counterpart, is stated. Then they confirm and adorn each
other; a

a
gentleman has told a good thing, he immediately tells it again.
Cour 7.260 3 Nature has made up her mind that what

reason is of no use.

reason.

PI 8.38 22 Ben Jonson said, The principal end of poetry

Comc 8.159 19 Reason does not joke, and men of reason
do not;...
Comc 8.161 17 If the essence of the Comic be the
contrast in the intellect
between the idea and the false performance, there is good reason why we
should be affected by the exposure.
QO 8.203 22 ...no man suspects the superior merit of
[Cook's or Henry's] description, until...the artist arrive, and mix so
much art with their picture
that the incomparable advantage of the first narrative appears. For the
same
reason we dislike that the poet should choose an antique or far-fetched
subject for his muse...
PC 8.216 16 I think I have seen two or three great men
who, for that
reason, were of no account among scholars.
Insp 8.277 23 Jacob Behmen said: Art has not wrote

shake.

Dem1 10.7 21 Dreams have a poetic integrity and truth.
This limbo and
dust-hole of thought is presided over by a certain reason, too.
Dem1 10.9 19 ...[dreams] have a substantial truth. The
same remark may be
extended to the omens and coincidences which may have astonished us. Of
all it is true that the reason of them is always latent in the
individual.
Dem1 10.13 21 In times most credulous of these fancies
the sense was

reason for every
fact occurring to [the so-called lucky man], as for any occurring to
any man.
Aris 10.47 6 I never feel that any man occupies my
place, but that the
reason why I do not have what I wish, is, that I want the faculty which

Aris 10.52 26 [Men] are honored by rendering [Genius]
honor, and the
reason of this allowance is that Genius unlocks for all men the chains
of

Chr2 10.121 3 The more reason, the less government.
Chr2 10.121 11 Command is exceptional, and marks some

Plu 10.298 22 The reason of Plutarch's vast popularity
is his humanity.
Plu 10.308 4 [Plutarch] says of Socrates that he
endeavored to bring reason
and things together...
Plu 10.314 27 So keen is [Plutarch's] sense of
allegiance to right reason, that he makes a fight against Fortune
whenever she is named.
Plu 10.316 9 It would be generous to lend our eyes and
ears, nay, if
possible, our reason and fortitude to others, whilst we are idle or
asleep.
Plu 10.317 15 ...it was [Plutarch's] severe fate to
flourish in those days of
ignorance, which, 't is a favorable opinion to hope that the Almighty
will
sometime wink at; that our souls may be with these philosophers
together in
the same state of bliss. The puzzle in the worthy translator's mind
between
his theology and his reason well reappears in the puzzle of his
sentence.
LLNE 10.349 26 By reason of the isolation of men at the

Thor 10.461 5 It was said of Plotinus that he was
ashamed of his body, and 't is very likely he had good reason for it...
Thor 10.475 27 [Thoreau]...liked to throw every thought
into a symbol. The fact you tell is of no value, but only the
impression. For this reason his
presence was poetic...
LS 11.6 9 This material fact, that the occasion [the
Last Supper] was to be
remembered, is found in Luke alone, who was not present. There is no
reason, however, that we know, for rejecting the account of Luke.
LS 11.10 14 The reason why St. John does not repeat
[Jesus's] words on
this occasion [the Last Supper] seems to be that he had reported a
similar
discourse of Jesus to the people of Capernaum more at length already...
LS 11.13 14 There was good reason for [Christ's]
personal friends to
remember their friend and repeat his words.
LS 11.14 15 I have received of the Lord, [St. Paul]
says, that which I
delivered to you. By this expression it is often thought that a
miraculous
communication is implied; but certainly without good reason, if it is
remembered that St. Paul was living in the lifetime of all the apostles
who
could give him an account of the transaction [the Last Supper];...
LS 11.14 18 ...it is contrary to all reason to suppose
that God should work a
miracle to convey information that could so easily be got by natural
means.
LS 11.19 19 This mode of commemorating Christ [the
Lord's Supper] is
not suitable to me. That is reason enough why I should abandon it.
LS 11.20 26 ...the reason why [Christianity] is to be
preferred over all other
systems and is divine is this, that it is a moral system;...
LS 11.21 3 ...[Christianity] presents men with truths
which are their own
reason...
LS 11.21 17 What I revere and obey in [Christianity] is
its reality...the
perfect accord it makes with my reason through all its representation
of
God and His Providence;...
LS 11.24 7 My brethren...have recommended, unanimously,
an adherence
to the present form [of the Lord's Supper]. I have therefore been
compelled
to consider whether it becomes me to administer it. I am clearly of
opinion I
ought not. This discourse has already been so far extended that I can
only
say that the reason of my determination is shortly this: It is my
desire, in the
office of a Christian minister, to do nothing which I cannot do with my
HDC 11.30 7 Man's life, said the Witan to the Saxon
king, is the sparrow

HDC 11.41 19 Mr. Bulkeley, by his generosity, spent his
estate, and, doubtless in consideration of his charges, the General
Court, in 1639, granted him 300 acres towards Cambridge; and to Mr.
Spencer, probably
for the like reason, 300 acres by the Alewife River.
HDC 11.51 26 The questions which the Indians put [to
John Eliot] betray
their reason and their ignorance.
LVB 11.94 8 ...[the question of currency and trade] is
the chirping of
grasshoppers beside the immortal question...whether all the attributes
of
reason, of civility, of justice, and even of mercy, shall be put off by
the
American people...
EWI 11.99 4 We are met to exchange congratulations on
the anniversary of
an event singular in the history of civilization; a day of reason;...
EWI 11.106 26 Immemorial usage preserves the memory of
positive law, long after all traces of the occasion, reason, authority
and time of its
introduction are lost;...
EWI 11.122 9 ...each age thinks its own [civility] the
perfection of reason.
EWI 11.136 24 One feels very sensibly in all this
history [of emancipation
in the West Indies] that a great heart and soul are behind
there...infinitely
attractive to every person according to the degree of reason in his own
mind...
EWI 11.137 27 This moral force perpetually reinforces
and dignifies the
friends of this cause [emancipation in the West Indies]. It...gave that
superiority in reason, in imagery, in eloquence, which makes in all
countries anti-slavery meetings so attractive...
War 11.153 16 Plutarch...considers the invasion and
conquest of the East
by Alexander as one of the most bright and pleasing pages in history;
and it
must be owned he gives sound reason for his opinion.

FSLC 11.207 27 Is it impossible to speak of [abolition]
with reason and
good nature?
FSLN 11.230 19 The plea on which freedom was resisted
was Union. I
went to certain serious men, who had a little more reason than the
rest, and
inquired why they took this part?
FSLN 11.242 4 ...the lovers of liberty may with reason
tax the coldness and
indifferentism of scholars and literary men.
JBB 11.269 2 ...[John Brown] conceives that the only
obstruction to the
Union is Slavery, and for that reason, as a patriot, he works for its
abolition.
EdAd 11.386 16 Every material organization exists to a
moral end, which
makes the reason of its existence.
EdAd 11.389 25 ...the laws and governors cannot possess
a commanding
interest for any but vacant or fanatical people; for the reason that
this is
simply a formal and superficial interest;...
RBur 11.439 24 ...We are here to hold our parliament
[the Burns Festival] with love and poesy, as men were wont to do in the
Middle Ages. Those
famous parliaments might or might not have had more stateliness and
better
singers than we...but they could not have better reason.
FRep 11.542 2 I hope America will come to have its
