The Invisible Lodge Part 27

[Footnote 65: "The human face divine."--(Tr.)]

[Footnote 66: A Prince Rupert's-drop.--(Tr.)]

[Footnote 67: A refusal.--(Tr.)]

[Footnote 68: _Aus der Luft_: the German phrase for "out of the whole cloth."--(Tr.)]

[Footnote 69: For, notoriously, man's breast is much harder and more inflexible, and like that which it sometimes encloses.--It is singular that parents let their daughters _sing_, with all feeling, things which they would not allow to be read to them.]

[Footnote 70: In the Roman Pantheon there stand only two divinities: Mars and Venus.]

[Footnote 71: As in well known, the pebble or mountain crystal concealed in the setting on a _doublette_, is called a _cula.s.se_ and the diamond blazing over it a _pavillon_.]

[Footnote 72: The Rose-maiden is the one who gains the garland for her distinguished virtue.--(Tr.)]

[Footnote 73: The three cures which, as above stated, I use against my lung disease, I have from three nations--following in freshly ploughed furrows the English advise--strengthening by a dog's bedfellows.h.i.+p is the advice of a Frenchman (de la Richebandiere)--breathing the air of cow-barns is prescribed to Swedish consumptives.]

[Footnote 74: Or "_Lirip.o.o.p_, a long tail or tippet of a hood, pa.s.sing round the neck, and hanging down before."--(Worcester's Dictionary.)]

[Footnote 75: Hollowed ice is, as is well known, applied to the head in case of headache, vertigo or madness.]

[Footnote 76: Shakespeare's Prologues to the Henrys.--(Tr.)]

[Footnote 77: An odd forerunner of our modern local quiz, that good Bostonians hope, when they die, to go to Paris (short for Paradise)--(Tr.)]

[Footnote 78: Of course, German miles.--(Tr.)]

[Footnote 79: So much the finer is it, that they keep the sentiment of love pure, thereby omnipotent; other feelings float therein, but dissolved and opaque; with men the latter merely stand _beside_ it and independent of it.]

[Footnote 80:

"O youth adown time's winding brook, Toward life's vast ocean-grave I look."

The beginning runs originally:

"A wanderer sate by the rivulet's side, And sadly the fleeting waters eyed."

--_Volk-songs_.]

[Footnote 81: "Das Abendroth im ernsten Sinne gluhn." (Faust.)--(Tr.)]

[Footnote 82: According to the older theologians (_e. g_., Gerhard, Loc. Theol., T. VIII. p. 116, r.--) we rise without hair, stomach, lacteal vessels, etc. According to Origen we rise without finger-nails also, and what he himself had lost even in this life. According to Connor, Med. Mystic, Art. 13, we come out of the grave with no more flesh than we had at birth or conception.]

[Footnote 83: Zuckert in his Dietetics proposes a cork cuira.s.s, which keeps one erect above water, and which, as fast as the ability to float on the top increases, may be cut off.]

[Footnote 84: In the "Liaisons dangereuses."]

[Footnote 85: For one might make a man crazy by insisting that he was so. The friends of the younger Crebillon once agreed, on an evening of social gaiety, not to laugh at one of his jokes, but only to maintain a pitying silence, as if he had now lost all his wit and wits. And the thing was even made credible to him. Other writers again are still more vividly deluded by their friends into the opposite error of believing that they have wit. [A curious ill.u.s.tration of this is given in a story in Roscoe's "Italian Novelists."--Tr.]]

[Footnote 86: Alloying gold with copper is called the _red_; with silver the _white_.]

[Footnote 87: That is, merely in the conventional; for there is a certain better sort, by which not always that, but cultivated goodness of heart is always accompanied.]

[Footnote 88: A settling of blood in some cavity of the body, especially in the thorax.--(Tr.)]

[Footnote 89: As no readers understand sober earnest less than those who cannot take a joke. I remark in a note for that cla.s.s that the fact stated above is really so, and that I (as an equally intemperate water and coffee drinker) have never found any other means of bracing the nerves against suspension of pulse and breath and other weaknesses, which made all inner effort painful, of so much efficiency as--hop-beer.]

[Footnote 90: An instrument for measuring the blue of the atmosphere.]

[Footnote 91: According to the ancients the rare springs gathered about them all wild beasts, and these meetings, like those in masquerades, gave occasion to still more extraordinary ones, and to the proverb, "Always something new from Africa," or to miscarriages.]

[Footnote 92: His sermons, printed a year ago, will still be to the taste of every one who shares mine.]

[Footnote 93: "Sweet hour, that wakes the wish and melt's the heart."--Byron. (Tr.)]

[Footnote 94: A name meaning literally black clay.--(Tr.)]

[Footnote 95: "_Schlenterten_ (or is it written with a soft D?)"

(Original).]

[Footnote 96: The Zahuri in Spain see through the earth down to its treasures, its lead, its metals, etc.]
