Stranica 268 - Peter's see, and was recognized by Paul when he appealed to Caesar, The temporal power of the papacy can have been given neither by natural law, nor divine ordinance, nor universal consent: nay, it is against its own form and essence, — the life of Christ, who said, " My kingdom is not of this world." Man's nature is twofold: corruptible and incorruptible. He has therefore two ends, active virtue on earth, and the enjoyment of the sight of God hereafter ; the one to be attained by practice conformed...
Stranica 354 - With unexpected legions bursts away, And sees defenceless realms receive his sway: Short sway ! fair Austria spreads her mournful charms, The queen, the beauty, sets the world, in arms...
Stranica 231 - Krönungsmahle. Die Speisen trug der Pfalzgraf des Rheins, es schenkte der Böhme des perlenden Weins, und alle die Wähler, die sieben, wie der Sterne Chor um die Sonne sich stellt, umstanden geschäftig den Herrscher der Welt, die Würde des Amtes zu üben.
Stranica 181 - Emperor lies amid his knights in an enchanted sleep, waiting the hour when the ravens shall cease to hover round the peak, and the pear-tree blossom in the valley, to descend with his Crusaders and bring back to Germany the golden age of peace and strength and unity.
Stranica 66 - Thirdly, to do no violence nor treason towards the holy Church, or to widows or orphans or strangers, seeing that the lord emperor has been appointed, after the Lord and His saints, the protector and defender of all such.

Stranica 269 - Caesar, therefore, shew towards Peter the reverence wherewith a firstborn son honours his father, that, being illumined by the light of his paternal favour, he may the more excellently shine forth upon the whole world, to the rule of which he has been appointed by Him alone who is of all things, both spiritual and temporal, the King and Governor.
Stranica 92 - Because divinity was divided, humanity had been divided likewise; the doctrine of the unity of God now enforced the unity of man, who had been created in his image. The first lesson of Christianity was love, a love that was to join in one body those whom suspicion and prejudice and pride of race had hitherto kept apart. There was thus formed by the new religion a community of the faithful, a Holy Empire, designed to gather all men into its bosom, and standing opposed to the manifold polytheisms of...
Stranica 49 - Prankish dress for the sandals and the chlamys of a Roman patrician, knelt in prayer by the high altar, and as in the sight of all he placed upon the brow of the barbarian chieftain the diadem of the Caesars, then bent in obeisance before him, the church rang to the shout of the multitude, again free, again the lords and centre of the world, 'To Charles Augustus, crowned by God, the great and peace-giving Emperor, be life and victory'.
Stranica 149 - Short as was his life and few his acts, Otto III is in one respect more memorable than any who went before or came after him. None save he desired to make the seven-hilled city again the seat of dominion, reducing Germany and Lombardy and Greece to their rightful place of subject provinces. No one else so forgot the present to live in the light of the ancient order; no other soul was so possessed by that fervid mysticism and that reverence for the glories of the past, whereon rested the idea of the...
