All being before this made something beyond itself: and you will be the ebb of this great flood, and rather go back to the beast than overcome the man?
What is the ape to the man? A mockery or a painful shame. And even so shall man be to the Over-man: a mockery or a painful shame.
Man is a cord, tied between Beast and Over-man—a cord above an abyss.
A perilous arriving, a perilous traveling, a perilous looking backward, a perilous trembling and standing still.
What is great in man is that he is a bridge, and no goal; what can be loved in man is that he is a going-over and a going-under.
I love them that know how to live, be it even as those going under, for such are those going across.
I love them that are great in scorn, because these are they that are great in reverence, and arrows of longing toward the other shore!—Nietzsche.
SPELLING
LESSON 30
There are a great many words in English which are frequently mispronounced; the accent is placed upon the wrong syllable; for example, thea'ter instead of the'ater; the wrong sound is given to the vowel, for example, hearth is pronounced hurth. Sometimes, too, an extra letter is added in the pronunciation; for example, once is often pronounced as though it were spelled wunst.
The following is a list of common words that are frequently mispronounced, and there are many others which you may add to this list as they occur to you. Look up the correct pronunciation in the dictionary and pronounce them many times aloud.
In the second column in this list is given the incorrect pronunciation, which we often hear.
There are a number of words in English which sound very much alike and which we are apt to confuse. For example, I heard a man recently say in a speech that the party to which he belonged had taken slow poison and now needed an anecdote. It is presumed that he meant that it needed an antidote. Some one else remarked that a certain individual had not been expelled but simply expended. He undoubtedly meant that the individual had been suspended.
This confusion in the use of words detracts from the influence which our statements would otherwise have. There are a number of words which are so nearly alike that it is very easy to be confused in the use of them. In our spelling lesson for this week we have a number of the most common of these easily confounded words. Add to the list as many others as you can.
