the metre requires and which I have no doubt Donne used.
John Donne
C'est par necessite que cela arrive.
' Pascal,
_Discours sur les passions de l'amour_.
l. 32. _Wee see, wee saw not what did move. _ Chambers inserts a comma
after 'we saw not', perhaps rightly; but the punctuation of the old
editions gives a distinct enough sense, viz. , 'We see now, that we did
not see before the true source of our love. What we thought was due
to bodily beauty, we perceive now to have its source in the soul. '
Compare, 'But when I wakt, I saw, that I saw not. ' _The Storme_, l.
37.
l. 42. _Interinanimates two soules. _ The MSS.
give the word which
the metre requires and which I have no doubt Donne used. The verb
_inanimates_ occurs more than once in the sermons. 'One that quickens
and inanimates all, and is the soul of the whole world. ' _Sermons_ 80.
29. 289. 'That universall power which sustaines, and inanimates the
whole world. ' Ibid. 80. 31. 305. 'In these bowels, in the womb of this
promise we lay foure thousand yeares; The blood with which we were fed
then, was the blood of the Sacrifices, and the quickening which we had
there, was an inanimation, by the often refreshing of this promise
of that Messias in the Prophets. ' Ibid. 80. 38. 381.
