So great a man could not but understand, too, that the thing that moves men to sacrifice their lives is not the error of their thought, which their opponents see and attack, but the truth which the latter do not see -- any more than they see the error which mars the truth they themselves defend.

That, I thought, is at least one thing I can find out when we meet.

Neither is primary experience understood according to the attitude of modern empiricism in which nothing is thought to be received other than signals of sensory qualities producing their responses in the appropriate sense organs.

Rather it is a division established by two absolutely different ways of thought with regard to man's life in society.

Carl thought the question over slowly and answered: `` I know a starving man who is fed never remembers all the pangs of his starvation, I know that ''.

One of the most frequent views of the value of literature is the education of sensibility that it is thought to provide.

but the possibility of this effort is bound up with that development of historical thought which is the greatest achievement of our civilization in the last two centuries, and it is utterly impossible to people in whom this development has not taken place.

Accordingly we may speak of the Platonism peculiar to Shelley's poems or the type of Stoicism present in Henley's `` Invictus '', and we may find that describing such Platonism or such Stoicism and contrasting each with other expressions of the same attitude or mode of thought is a difficult and challenging enterprise.

regarded from the inside, it is the carrying into action of a certain thought The historian's business is to penetrate to the inside of the actions with which he is dealing and reconstruct or rather rethink the thoughts which constituted them.

It is a characteristic of thoughts that in re-thinking them we come, ipso facto, to understand why they were thought ''.

Perhaps tracing some of these more important symbols through the body of his work will show that Patchen's new poetry is well thought out, and remains within the mainstream of his work, while being suited to a new form.

In any case, who ever thought that New York is typical of anything??

Alcaeus ( Alkaios, ) of Mytilene ( c. 620 – 6th century BC ), Greek lyric poet from Lesbos Island who is credited with inventing the Alcaic verse.

Alcaeus exhorts his friends to drink in celebration of a tyrant's death, to drink away their sorrows, to drink because life is short and along the lines in vino veritas, to drink through winter storms and to drink through the heat of summer.

It is possible that Alcaeus wrote amorously about Sappho, as indicated in an earlier quote.

Ovid compared Alcaeus to Sappho in Letters of the Heroines, where Sappho is imagined to speak as follows:

The story of Alcaeus is partly the story of the scholars who rescued his work from oblivion.

Imitations of his work have been observed in Alcaeus, Epimenides, Mimnermus, Semonides, Tyrtaeus and Archilochus, from which it has been inferred that the latest possible date for him is about 650 BC.

A tendency to imitate other poets is not peculiar to Bacchylides, however – it was common in ancient poetry, as for example in a poem by Alcaeus ( fragment 347 ), which virtually quotes a passage from Hesiod ( Works and Days 582 – 8 ).

This fits, though in Herodotus the son of Heracles and the slave-girl of Iardanus is named Alcaeus.

The Sapphic stanza, named after Sappho, is an Aeolic verse form spanning four lines ( more properly three, in the poetry of Sappho and Alcaeus, where there is no word-end before the final Adonean ).

It is not clear if she created it or if it was already part of the Aeolic tradition ; according to Marius Victorinus ( Ars grammatica 6. 161 Keil ), it was invented by Alcaeus but then used more frequently by, and so more strongly associated with, Sappho.

Aeolic Greek is most widely known for being the language of the writings of Sappho and Alcaeus of Mytilene.

* Alcaeus: The great lyric poet of Mytilene, he is not mentioned by name but he is the author of some well-known verses that Philocleon adapts to a scolion directed against Cleon in lines 1232-35.

Its original source is in lines of " An Ode in Imitation of Alcaeus " ( published 1781 ), known also by its first line, " What constitutes a State?

Many years later I went to see S.K. in England, where he was living at Whiteleaf, near Aylesbury, and he showed me beside his cottage there the remains of the road on which Boadicea is supposed to have travelled.

If you've travelled in Europe a time or two, it is quite certain that you've had that wanting-to-be-alone feeling or that you will get it on your next visit across the Atlantic.

There is Mijbil, an otter who travelled with Maxwell -- and gave Maxwell's name to a new species -- from the Tigris marshes to his London flat.

It is possible that the reason Ealdred travelled through Hungary was to arrange the travel of Edward the Exile's family to England.

It is unclear where Dürer travelled in the intervening period, though it is likely that he went to Frankfurt and the Netherlands.

The poem was inspired by the apocryphal story that a young Jesus, accompanied by his uncle Joseph of Arimathea, a tin merchant, travelled to the area that is now England and visited Glastonbury during Jesus ' lost years.

Bede also travelled to the monastery of Lindisfarne, and at some point visited the otherwise unknown monastery of a monk named, a visit that is mentioned in a letter to that monk.

Because of his widespread correspondence with others throughout the British Isles, and due to the fact that many of the letters imply that Bede had met his correspondents, it is likely that Bede travelled to some other places, although nothing further about timing or locations can be guessed.

This is justified, if unsatisfactorily, by Gauss in his " Disquisitiones Arithmeticae ", where he states that all analysis ( i. e., the paths one travelled to reach the solution of a problem ) must be suppressed for sake of brevity.

The difference in phase between the two waves is determined by the difference in the distance travelled by the two waves.

Oxford was a champion jouster, travelled widely throughout Italy and France, and is recorded by Stow as having introduced various Italian fashions to the English court.

This statement, in turn, is clearly reminiscent of Paul's Second Missionary Journey, when Paul travelled from Corinth to Ephesus, before going to Jerusalem for Pentecost ( cf.

It is not clear at what point the Society of Friends was formed but there was certainly a group of people who often travelled together.

Due to its vertical climb, the same distance is equivalent to several miles of zigzagging roads if travelled by car.

He assumed that the secondary waves travelled only in the " forward " direction and it is not explained in the theory why this is the case.

Although the metre is now defined as the path length travelled by light in a given time, the practical laboratory length measurements in metres are determined by counting the number of wavelengths of laser light of one of the standard types that fit into the length, and converting the selected unit of wavelength to metres.

* Another simple activity is predicting the position of a vehicle from its initial position, direction and speed of travel, using the equation that distance travelled is the product of time and speed.
