Hymn sung at the Completion of the Battle Monument
Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919)
“Do not grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.”
"Unmarked boxes" /Ode#1937
Disputed, The Essential Rumi (1995)
"The Battle of New Orleans" (1936)
Context: We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down,
So we grabbed an alligator an' we fought another round.
We filled his head with cannon balls an' powdered his behind,
An' when they touched the powder off, the 'gator lost his mind.
“The trivial round, the common task,
Would furnish all we ought to ask.”
Morning reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).
The Architecture of Theories (1891)
Context: Three conceptions are perpetually turning up at every point in every theory of logic, and in the most rounded systems they occur in connection with one another. They are conceptions so very broad and consequently indefinite that they are hard to seize and may be easily overlooked. I call them the conceptions of First, Second, Third. First is the conception of being or existing independent of anything else. Second is the conception of being relative to, the conception of reaction with, something else. Third is the conception of mediation, whereby a first and second are brought into relation.
“Who would be so besotted as to die without having made at least the round of this, his prison?”
Qui serait assez insensé pour mourir sans avoir fait au moins le tour de sa prison?
The Highroad, p. 11
The Abyss (1968)
“Things are going round and round in my head--or maybe my head is going round and round in things.”
