Attila : king of Huns (c.433-53) who shattered the decadent Roman Empire.
... s for this appreciable progress. 9 February 1934 "Attila, King of the Huns in 434, devastated the cities of Gaul but spared Lutetia after being diverted by Saint Genevieve." I don't understand the phrase "diverted Page 34 by Saint Genevieve". Did Saint Genevieve divert Attila from Lutetia, which he spared? Attila was compelled to spare Lutetia because of the occult action... action of Saint Genevieve who, by the ardour of her prayers, obtained the intervention of the Divine Grace. This prompted Attila to alter the route of his troops, and so he gave the city a wide berth. 11 February 1934 Sweet Mother, I have had a pain in the right side of my chest and in the left side of my back for the past three or four days. I decided to be brave and not tell You about it ...
... pale and passive wraith but a store-house of stupendous radiancy. We must not let it slip our memory that he resurrected "living graves". Indeed his was not a brutal obstreperous vitality: he was no Attila or Hitler or even an American hustler and go-getter. Strength and activeness of that type are in various and differing measures the mark of the Titan: the God comes with another face and another ...
... Nibelungs Germanic? Brunehild was “Norse”, probably Icelandic; Siegfried came from Xanten, in the present-day Netherlands; the good king Gunther and his knights were Burgundians; and Kriemhild married Attila the Hun. Nevertheless, the Nibelungen Treue , the legendary loyalty of the Nibelungs, would become the highest praised of German virtues, and Himmler had it embroidered on the sleeves of his SS: ...
... in the Truth – but the enormous spiritual carapace under which we have buried the Spirit. The real mischief of the devil is not to sow falsehood and hatred Page 310 in the world, such as Attila or the Nazis have done – he is far too clever for that – but to lay hands on a grain of truth and then to twist it ever so slightly. Nothing is more intractable than a perverted truth, because the ...
... pressing point. Those “readers” would no doubt read, perhaps even open their eyes to that extraordinary Sense, but when the empire is crumbling – our human empire – when our earth is plundered as no Attila has ever done before, when the human consciousness is becoming increasingly clouded and overrun by a sly barbarism, and the twilight is stealing upon us, isn't there something more to do? Well, ...
... falsehood and stammering, its secret sense that it is the Lord of the universe, yet must it deny & transform itself, if it is to effect its grandiose object. The mighty Asura, Hiranyakashipu or Ravana, Attila, Alexander, Napoleon or Jenghiz, reaching out to possess the whole world physically as the not-self, is the Godhead in man aiming at self-realisation, but a godhead blind and misdirected. The Seer ...
... as often returns evil for good and, with or without a conscious moral intention, good for evil. And even an unegoistic virtue or a divine good and love entering the world awakens hostile reactions. Attila and Jenghiz on the throne to the end, Christ on the cross and Socrates drinking his portion of hemlock are no very clear evidence for any optimistic notion of a law of moral return in the world of ...
... universe." Rather the reverse position proves generally to be true. Sri Aurobindo writes again: "And even an unegoistic virtue or a divine good and love entering the world awakens reactions. Attila and Jenghiz on the throne to the end. Christ on the Cross and Socrates drinking his portion of hemlock." (Ibid., p. 148) Page 118 2. Traditional View. The distribution of rewards ...
... more babies. A geometrical progression. No human means can stop this tidal wave. I have seen entire Himalayan ranges stripped of their trees — in twenty years. It gives you the shivers. Who speaks of Attila? The entire earth is full of little Attilas — we really don't know whether they are men, or something else, disguised in a man's skin. Perhaps that is the true question: the earth is full of beings ...
... us, Plunged in the darkness all again? No, she stirs! There's fire in her glance, Ware, oh ware of that broken sword! What, dare ye for an hour's mischance, Gather around her, jeering France, Attila's own exultant horde? Lo, she stands up, - stands up e'en now, Strong once more for the battle-fray, Gleams bright the star, that from her brow Lightens the world. Bow, nations, bow, Let her again ...
... 1870 [see Appendix—A]. That was because she had a deep sympathy for that country. I remember just a few lines from it.. She addresses France as the "Plead of the human column" she calls the invaders "Attila's own exultant horde". These two lines at once strike one as if they were spoken by the poet and were not an imitation. If one can write like that, it cannot recognise. NIRODBARAN: What about Madhusudhan ...
