And then the bell once more broke out into impatient clamour. He confronted the maid upon the threshold with something like a smile. " You had better go for the police," said he: "I have killed...
Page 24 - A sublime man ; who alone in those dark days had saved his crown of spiritual manhood; escaping from the black materialisms and revolutionary deluges with ' God, Freedom, Immortality ' still his : a king of men. The practical intellects of the world did not much heed him, or carelessly reckoned him a metaphysical dreamer ; but to the rising spirits of the young generation he had this dusky sublime character, and sat there as a kind of Magus, girt in mystery and enigma : his Dodona oak-grove, Mr....
