... course a vital and physical thing. Many people who have shown great courage, were not physically or even vitally brave; yet by force of need they pushed themselves into all sorts of battle and danger.

On Saturday I had a dream that my ... the golden vision—at least a desire to be gold in Y's eyes. Rest of the explanation is also hazy but no matter. Not hazy, only phosphorescent. Who is this of France? Henri Quatre, Henry IV of France—one of the most famous names in French history—what the deuce, Sir! never heard of him? Anyhow, he was a typical example of a great hero, victor in many battles who was yet physically a...

... timeless epiphany. It may have been after such a leap of vital intuition, which we find so liberally scattered in the works of Shakespeare, that caused him to make the dying Hotspur say (I Henry IV; V.iv): But thought's the slave of life, and life tune's fool, And time, that takes survey of all the world, Must have a stop....

... sudden death. Barin also had a lot of fear while he was carrying terrorist activities. But he too will compel himself to go on. When the death sentence was passed to him, he took it very cheerfully. Henry IV of France had a great physical fear, but by his will-power would force himself to rush into the thick of the battle and he became known as a great warrior. Napoleon and Caesar had no fear. Once when ...
... them, he would have conquered England. SATYENDRA: Ludwig writes in his biography of Napoleon that Napoleon was the first to conceive of a federation of Europe under France. SRI AUROBINDO: No, Henry IV and his minister were the first to conceive of federated European states. SATYENDRA: Napoleon of course wanted the federation to be under France. SRI AUROBINDO: Under himself. SATYENDRA: ...
... And in the calmest and most stillest night, With all appliances and means to boot, Deny it to a king? Then happy low, lie down! Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown. (King Henry IV, 2, III, i.4-31.) Insomnia is not considered an illness, and most insomniacs are able to live normal lives. However, the effects of prolonged sleep deprivation are well known: a loss of efficiency ...

Henry IV, King of France, had a great physical fear but by his mental will he would compel himself to rush into the thick of the battle and was known as a great warrior. Napoleon and Caesar had no fear. Once ...
... any lurking philosophy. The language has a rich sensuousness that succeeds in vividly evoking the atmosphere of ancient Baghdad and Bassora. Nureddene reminds us of Prince Hal in Shakespeare's Henry IV. Almuene the bad Vizier is sinister like Heathcliff, and Fareed is a shadowy Linton. Doonya has maiden-fire, and Anice walks in beauty, literally an "emperor's portion". And Harkoos the Ethiopian ...

In 1572 she married Henry IV of France precisely in order to seal a peace between the religious parties – but five days later thousands of Protestants were treacherously massacred on St Bartholomew’s Day.
