to be richer than Midas, and each of the cities greater than Babylon
once was, and had also surrounded each of them with a golden wall, but
had corrected none of the
existing
errors respecting divinity, he would
have acted in a manner similar to a physician, who receiving a body
full of evils in each of its parts, should cure all of them except the

UN COUP DE DES JAMAIS, QUAND BIEN MEME LANCE DANS DES CIRCONSTANCES ETERNELLES DU FOND D'UN NAUFRAGE, Soit que l'Abime blanchi, etale, furieux sous une inclinaison planche desesperement d'aile, la sienne, par avance retombee d'un mal a dresser le vol et couvrant les jaillissements, coupant au ras les bonds tres a l'interieur resume l'ombre enfouie dans la profondeur, par cette voile alternative jusqu'adapter sa beante profondeur entant que la coque d'un batiment penche de l'un ou l'autre bord
LE MAITRE, hors d'anciens calculs, ou la manoeuvre avec l'age oubliee surgi jadis, il empoignait la barre inferant de cette configuration a ses pieds de l'horizon unanime, que se prepare s'agite et mele au poing qui l'etreindrait, comme on menace un destin et les vents, l'unique Nombre, qui ne peut pas etre un autre Esprit, pour le jeter dans la tempete en reployer la division et passer fier; hesite, cadavre par le bras ecarte du secret qu'il detient plutot que de jouer, en maniaque: chenu la partie au nom des flots, un envahit le chef, coule en barbe, soumise naufrage, cela direct de l'homme sans nef, n'importe ou vaine

COMME SI Une insinuation simple au silence, enroulee avec ironie, ou le mystere precipite, hurle, dans quelque proche tourbillon d'hilarite et d'horreur, voltige autour du gouffre sans le joncher ni fuir et en berce le vierge indice COMME SI
plume solitaire eperdue, sauf que la rencontre ou l'effleure une toque de minuit et immobilise au velours chiffonne par un esclaffement sonore, cette blancheur rigide, derisoire en opposition au ciel, trop pour ne pas marquer exigument quiconque prince amer de l'ecueil, s'en coiffe comme de l'heroique, irresistible mais contenu par sa petite raison, virile en foudre

Answer: |
The authors of the paper need a discussion on the function of deactivation to gain a clearer understanding of its role in maintaining activation, caretaking, and deep feelings. This discussion will benefit their research by consolidating repetitive low logical level explanations into a simple high logical level paragraph or two. However, the authors currently do not have the resources to engage in such discussions due to difficulties regarding the maintenance of contact with enough principled hysteria. |

Guess: |
revaluation |
Question: |
How does the deposition of prior values transform the world into being as a whole? |
Answer: |
The deposition of prior values transforms the world into being as a whole by rendering what is accessible as valueless and in need of new values. This leads to a new positing of values which changes being as a whole, standing outside the difference between the earthly and the beyond. This also eliminates the former place in which values could be posited, making valuation itself a different one. |

Answer: |
Why is the local pain not the expression of a kind of local wound, but merely a local sign of the severity of the wound?
The local pain is not the expression of a kind of local wound, but merely a local sign of the severity of the wound because pain itself is a reaction, and the reflex movement is another and earlier process. The essence of local pain is merely a local sign, the strength and nature of which is in keeping with the severity of the wound, and of which the nerve centres have taken note. |

Down the crowded slope of night-dark azure,
While the Scorpion with red Antares
Trails along the sea-line to the southward.

I con-
sider that a philosophy which teaches the denial
of will is both
defamatory
and slanderous.
Guess: |
Inhuman |
Question: |
Why does the speaker find a philosophy that denies will to be defamatory and slanderous? |
Answer: |
The speaker finds a philosophy that denies will to be defamatory and slanderous because they believe that a person's value lies in the power and fullness of their will, not in its enfeeblement or moribund state. They also test the power of a will by the amount of resistance it can offer and the amount of pain and torture it can endure and turn to its own advantage. Therefore, they see a philosophy that teaches the denial of will as defamatory and slanderous. |

Guess: |

Question: |
Why would the revolutionary government retain clear qualities of state power through its communist functionaries? |
Answer: |
The revolutionary government would retain clear qualities of state power through its communist functionaries because the fighters who were motivated by Lenin's idea called for a model of organization that would be capable of satisfying the demands of a long-term politics of change from above, which could only be mapped onto the successful institutions of a semi-feudal society, in particular the army and administrative bureaucracy. |

They then fly to a
suitable limb, and placing the acorn under one foot, hammer away at it
busily, making a sound like a woodpecker's tapping, looking round from
time to time to see if any foe is approaching, and soon reach the
meat, and nibble at it, holding up their heads to swallow, while they
hold the
remainder
very firmly with their claws.

Taming temples.
Guess: |
chosen |
Question: |
Why was Pang Rikdzin Nyingpo appointed as the officiating priest of the four Further Taming temples and what made him deserving of such an appointment? |
Answer: |
Pang Rikdzin Nyingpo was appointed as the officiating priest of the four Further Taming temples because he was the son of the mantra adept Pangje Tsentram, who had saved the life of King Trhisong Detsen by returning the thunderbolts brought down by a vowed killer. This heroic act earned the mantra adept great rewards from the king, and his son was appointed to the prestigious position of officiating priest. Additionally, Pang Rikdzin Nyingpo was a skilled practitioner and teacher of religious rites, and his descendants continued the lineage of powerful and sagacious masters. |
