us...so nearly and
intimately, as if it were the blood in our proper veins, that we feel

public which you have
come at in attempting to satisfy your own curiosity.

alien
energy the visions come.

the
centre of the world...

as far
from it as at first.

into the free air of
thought, we seem to be assured that nothing is easier than to continue
this
communication at pleasure.
Art1 2.351 16 ...[the painter] will come to value the
expression of nature
and not nature itself...
Art1 2.361 17 [At Naples] I...said to myself--Thou
foolish child, hast thou
come out hither...to find that which was perfect to thee there at home?

do not put itself
abreast with the most potent influences of the world...

arts...

legislature...
Art1 2.368 7 [Beauty] will come, as always,
unannounced...

or songs...
Pt1 3.26 6 This insight, which expresses itself by what

open air.

nearest as when you are farthest.
Pt1 3.33 25 [The poet] unlocks our chains and admits us
to a new scene. This emancipation is dear to all men, and the power to

the
history of every man's bread, and the ways by which he is to come by
it.

farmer who feels that he
is the man I have come to see...

sweets and
virtues are in the ground, the waters, the plants, the heavens, and how
to
come at these enchantments,--is the rich and royal man.

before the rock is formed; then before the rock is broken, and the
first
lichen race has disintegrated the thinnest external plate into soil,
and
opened the door for the remote Flora, Fauna, Ceres, and Pomona to come
in.

before the

oak is
not an orange.

men, and events, and life, come to us only because of that thread...
MoS 4.178 11 ...we may come to accept it as the fixed
rule and theory of
our state of education, that God is a substance, and his method is
illusion.
MoS 4.181 21 Charitable souls come with their projects
and ask [the
spiritualist's] co-operation.
ShP 4.189 10 ...seeing what men want and sharing their
desire, [the hero] adds the needful length of sight and of arm, to come
at the desired point.
ShP 4.198 11 It has come to be practically a sort of
rule in literature, that a
man having once shown himself capable of original writing, is entitled
thenceforth to steal from the writings of others at discretion.
ShP 4.206 5 We tell the chronicle of
parentage...celebrity, death; and when
we have come to an end of this gossip, no ray of relation appears
between it
and the goddess-born;...
ShP 4.209 3 We have [Shakespeare's] recorded
convictions on those
questions which knock for answer at every heart...on the prizes of life
and
the ways whereby we come at them;...
NMW 4.233 26 [Napoleon] would shorten a straight line
to come at his
object.
NMW 4.242 15 ...a day of expansion and demand was come
[in France].
GoW 4.268 8 This disparagement [of speculative thought]
will not come
from the leaders, but from inferior persons.
GoW 4.270 19 [Goethe] appears at a time...when...a
social comfort and
cooperation have come in.
ET1 5.17 21 [Carlyle] still returned to English
pauperism...the selfish
abdication by public men of all that public persons should perform.
Government should direct poor men what to do. Poor Irish folk come
wandering over these moors. My dame makes it a rule to give to every
son
of Adam bread to eat...
ET1 5.23 5 ...recollecting myself, that I had come thus
far to see a poet and
he was chanting poems to me, I saw that [Wordsworth] was right and I
was
wrong...
ET2 5.30 20 ...here on the second day of our voyage,
stepped out a little
boy in his shirt-sleeves, who had hid himself whilst the ship was in
port... having no money and wishing to go to England. The sailors have
dressed
him in Guernsey frock...and he...likes the work first-rate, and if the
captain
will take him, means now to come back again in the ship.
ET4 5.51 18 In the impossibility of arriving at
satisfaction on the historical
question of race, and--come of whatever disputable ancestry--the
indisputable Englishman before me...I fancied I could leave quite aside
the
choice of a tribe as his lineal progenitors...
ET4 5.52 27 ...what we think of when we talk of English
traits really
narrows itself to a small district. It...reduces itself at last to
London, that is, to those who come and go thither.
ET4 5.55 20 The English come mainly from the Germans...
ET4 5.56 21 The men who have built a ship and invented
the rig, cordage, sail, compass and pump;...have acquired much more
than a ship. Now arm
them and every shore is at their mercy. ... Of course they come into
the
fight from a higher ground of power than the land-nations;...
ET4 5.72 6 [The English] come honestly by their
horsemanship...
ET5 5.74 7 ...the Norman has come popularly to
represent in England the
aristocratic, and the Saxon the democratic principle.
ET5 5.78 11 The English game is main force to main
force...till one or both
come to pieces.
ET5 5.98 16 Man in England submits to be a product of
political economy. On a bleak moor a mill is built...and men come in as
water in a sluice-way...
ET6 5.114 10 Hither [to an English dress-dinner] come
all manner of clever
projects...
ET7 5.121 9 [The English]...cannot easily change their
opinions to suit the
hour. They are like ships with too much head on to come quickly
about...
ET8 5.130 23 Take them as they come, you shall find in
the common [English] people a surly indifference, sometimes gruffness
and ill temper;...
ET10 5.154 17 ...I found the two disgraces in [Wood's
Athenae
Oxonienses]...are, first, disloyalty to Church and State, and, second,
to be
born poor, or come to poverty.
ET10 5.167 24 ...in these crises [of political
enconomy] all are ruined
except such as are proper individuals, capable of...the application of
their
talent to new labor. Then again come in new calamities.
ET10 5.171 2 ...it has come that not the aims of a
manly life, but the means
of meeting a certain ponderous expense, is that which is considered by
a
youth in England emerging from his minority.
ET11 5.172 12 Many of the [English] halls...are
beautiful desolations. The
proprietor never saw them, or never lived in them. Primogeniture built
these
sumptuous piles, and I suppose it is the sentiment of every
traveller...It was
well to come ere these were gone.
ET11 5.174 10 English history is aristocracy with the
doors open. Who has
courage and faculty, let him come in.
ET11 5.181 7 Evelyn writes from Blois, in 1644: The
wolves are here in
such numbers, that they often come and take children out of the
streets;...
ET11 5.183 25 ...with such interests at stake, how can
these men [English
peers] afford to neglect them? O, replied my friend, why should they
work
for themselves when every man in England...will suffer before they come
to
harm?
ET13 5.220 20 The spirit that dwelt in this [English]
church has glided
away to animate other activities, and they who come to the old shrines
find
apes and players rustling the old garments.
ET13 5.220 25 When you see on the continent the
well-dressed Englishman
come into his ambassador's chapel and put his face for silent prayer
into his
smooth-brushed hat, you cannot help feeling how much national pride
prays
with him...
ET13 5.223 9 ...[the English clergyman] entertains your
thought or your
project with sympathy and praise. But if a second clergyman come in,
the
sympathy is at an end...
ET15 5.272 24 ...[if the London Times would cleave to
the right] it would
have the authority which is claimed for that dream of good men not yet
come to pass...
ET16 5.278 13 I, who had just come from Professor
Sedgwick's
Cambridge Museum of megatheria and mastodons, was ready to maintain
that some cleverer elephants or mylodonta had borne off and laid these
rocks [of Stonehenge] one on another.
ET17 5.297 2 A gentleman in the neighborhood told the
story of Walter
Scott's staying once for a week with Wordsworth, and slipping out every
day...to the Swan Inn for a cold cut and porter; and one day passing
with
Wordsworth the inn, he was betrayed by the landlord's asking him if he
had
come for his porter.
ET18 5.301 23 In Magna Charta it was ordained that all
merchants shall
have safe and secure conduct to go out and come into England...
ET19 5.310 20 ...these things are not for me to say;
these compliments, though true, would better come from one who felt and
understood these
merits more.
ET19 5.312 7 I seem to hear you say, that for all that
is come and gone yet, we will not reduce by one chaplet or one oak-leaf
the braveries of our
annual feast.
ET19 5.312 18 ...I was given to understand in my
childhood...that [Englishmen's] virtues did not come out until they
quarrelled;...
F 6.3 19 In our first steps to gain our wishes we come
upon immovable
limitations.
F 6.12 19 ...with high magnifiers...Dr. Carpenter might
come to distinguish

F 6.25 21 If the air come to our lungs, we breathe and

F 6.25 22 If the light come to our eyes, we see; else
not.
F 6.25 23 ...if truth come to our mind we suddenly
expand to its
dimensions...
F 6.27 11 ...though we sleep, our dream will come to
pass.
F 6.31 8 ...in politics, [men] think they come under
another [dominion];...
F 6.39 10 ...new men come.
F 6.44 11 The men who come on the stage at one period
are all found to be
related to each other.
F 6.46 5 ...if the soule of proper kind/ Be so parfite
as men find,/ That it

Pow 6.57 1 [A strong pulse] is like the opportunity of a
city like New York
or Constantinople, which needs no diplomacy to force capital or genius
or
labor to it. They come of themselves, as the waters flow to it.
Pow 6.69 3 The roisters who are destined for infamy at

Wth 6.110 12 ...in the artificial system of society and
of protected labor, which we...have adopted and enlarged, there come
presently checks and
stoppages.
Wth 6.118 11 It is commonly observed that a sudden
wealth, like a prize
drawn in a lottery or a large bequest to a poor family, does not
permanently
enrich. They have served no apprenticeship to wealth, and with the
rapid
wealth come rapid claims which they do not know how to deny...
Ctr 6.133 11 ...we have seen children who finding
themselves of no
account when grown people come in, will cough until they choke, to draw
attention.
Ctr 6.136 15 Bring any club or company of intelligent
men together again
after ten years, and if the presence of some penetrating and calming
genius
could dispose them to frankness, what a confession of insanities would
come up!
Ctr 6.153 11 [The countryman in the city] has come
among a supple, glib-tongued

whole
connection.

Benedict], I am sure I can
spare it. It shall be the same with my friends. I will never woo the

LS 11.6 4 Two of the Evangelists...were present on that
occasion [the Last
Supper]. Neither of them drops the slightest intimation of any
intention on
the part of Jesus to set up anything permanent. John especially...has
quite
omitted such a notice. Neither does it appear to have come to the
knowledge of Mark...
LS 11.6 16 I have only brought these accounts [of the
Last Supper] together, that you may judge whether it is likely that a
solemn institution, to
be continued to the end of time by all mankind, as they should come...
within the influence of the Christian religion, would have been
established
in this slight manner...
LS 11.6 25 ...we must suppose that the expression, This

that the use of the
elements [of the Lord's Supper]...is foreign and unsuited to affect us.

HDC 11.40 13 [The Concord settler's pastor said] If we

other people in these things; and if we come short in grace and
holiness too, we are the most despicable people under heaven.

Captain doth agree to instruct them himself in the tongues, till the

generosity for the weak and oppressed.
EWI 11.135 8 There are other comparisons and other
imperative duties

War 11.162 2 This is a poor, tedious society of yours,

War 11.164 20 You shall hear, some day, of a wild fancy
which some man

two
years afterwards, and you shall see it has built great houses of solid
wood
and brick and mortar.

FSLN 11.217 12 The one thing not to be forgiven to

FSLN 11.239 4 There has come, too, one to whom lurking
warfare is dear, Retribution, with a soul full of wiles;...
FSLN 11.240 11 ...that is the stern edict of
Providence, that liberty shall be
no hasty fruit, but that...age on age, shall cast itself into the
opposite scale, and not until liberty has slowly accumulated weight
enough to countervail
