Σελίδα 121 - He had a crois of laton ful of stones, And in a glas he hadde pigges bones. But with these relikes, whanne that he fond A poure persone dwelling up on- lond, Upon a day he gat him more moneie Than that the persone gat in monethes tweie.

Σελίδα 179 - Greek concealment of the face, I was not a little surprised to find myself graciously regarded by a pair of eyes belonging, as I supposed, to some unknown Turkish lady, but which, as I afterwards found out, were those of my hostess. Her husband says that he thinks the custom even still more proper for a Greek's wife than for a Turk's; for if she did not observe it, she might attract the gaze of some true believer.

Σελίδα 89 - Albunea: resonantis,' and another still more sacred source, which existed in the vicinity of Rome, may likewise be mentioned. ' Egeria 1 sweet creation of some heart. Which found no mortal resting-place so fair As thine ideal breast.' In later times Great Britain herself could boast, while the mythology of modern Rome, engrafted on old Pagan superstitions, formed an essential part of her religious creed, of many such Water Nymphs or Holy Virgins. The fountain of Saint Wenefrede in Wales, used in...
Σελίδα 103 - Mohammedanism' from the soil of the island. On the second conquest of Crete by Mohammedan invaders, some of the wealthier inhabitants of Megalo-Kastron [Herakleion] and its neighbourhood are said, after openly renouncing Christianity, to have retained, in secret, the faith in which they had been baptized; and to have handed it down, in the same manner, to their descendants. Their exoteric doctrine alone was the faith of Islam, their esoteric was still that of the Cross. Among such families that of...
