Brutus in A Sentence

    1

    A complete MS. of Cicero, De Oratore, Brutus and Orator, was found by Bishop Landriani at Lodi (1421).

    2

    A fleet was hastily constructed in the estuary of the Loire, and placed under the command of Decimus Brutus.

    3

    A second history, the Gesta Regum, is planned on a smaller scale and traces the fortunes of Britain from the days of Brutus to the year 1209.

    4

    A tear slid down her cheek unnoticed until it dropped on Brutus.

    5

    A year ago Alex had gently informed her that Brutus was getting old and his heart was not working well.

    6

    After Caesar's assassination he attached himself to Brutus and Cassius, and in 43 was condemned by the lex Pedia as having been implicated in the plot.

    7

    After the death of Caesar he attached himself to Mark Antony,- but, owing to some fancied slight, he deserted to Brutus and Cassius.

    8

    After the murder of Caesar (44) he attracted the notice of Brutus, by whom he was offered the post of military tribune, in which capacity he rendered good service to the republican cause.

    9

    Alex went straight to Brutus and examined him.

    10

    An important discovery was made at Lodi in 1422 of a MS. which, in addition to complete copies of the de Oratore and Orator, hitherto known from mutilated MSS., contained an entirely new work, the Brutus.

    11

    And then Brutus was at her side, snarling and trying to push her away.

    12

    Antony was defeated at Mutina (43) where he was besieging Brutus.

    13

    As she vaulted over the fence, the cause of Brutus's excitement became obvious.

    14

    As soon as Brutus saw them, he lunged to his feet and growled at Alex.

    15

    At the barn, Carmen fed and watered Brutus and threw some hay to the cow.

    16

    At the end of 1730 Brutus did actually get acted.

    17

    Behind her, claws clicked on the concrete as Brutus followed.

    18

    Brandishing the pitchfork with renewed courage, she boldly strode to Brutus.

    19

    Brutus and Cassius paid him little regard, and dispersed to their respective provinces.

    20

    Brutus at first treated him generously, but ultimately put him to death (42).

    21

    Brutus barked and she hushed him.

    22

    Brutus came running out of nowhere, his tail curled in its alert position and his big tongue hanging out.

    23

    Brutus came to me with blood on his muzzle.

    24

    Brutus ceased his snarling, but he continued to keep a wary eye on Alex.

    25

    Brutus didn't normally hang around the house, and he always barked at strangers.

    26

    Brutus eyed her suspiciously.

    27

    Brutus followed her into the barn, anxiously looking over his shoulder at his dispersed herd.

    28

    Brutus followed her to the pile of hide and bones.

    29

    Brutus followed her, whining in response to her misery.

    30

    Brutus followed, and the two calves tagged along awkwardly behind him.

    31

    Brutus growled again and Josh took her by the arm.

    32

    Brutus had been applauded in red-heeled shoes and culottes jarretees; but Talma, advised by David, appeared in toga and sandals before an enthusiastic audience.

    33

    Brutus had never been a pet, but he had served them selflessly for years.

    34

    Brutus is torn up real bad.

    35

    Brutus jumped up from the porch where he had been waiting for her.

    36

    Brutus looked up at her and then walked back to the barn, lying down beside the door.

    37

    Brutus met her there.

    38

    Brutus ran down from the barn, barking at the new arrivals and Alex hushed him.

    39

    Brutus refused to surrender the province, and Antony set out to attack him in October 44, But at this time Octavian, whom Caesar had adopted as his son, arrived from Illyria, and claimed the inheritance of his "father."

    40

    Brutus started after them, snarling and barking his disgust.

    41

    Brutus started growling at it and Josh said we should go back.

    42

    Brutus stopped and eyed the dogs reluctantly.

    43

    Brutus stopped to anoint a bush and then took out ahead of her.

    44

    Brutus took off toward the forest, barking.

    45

    Brutus wandered upstream, pausing to lap at the cool water.

    46

    Brutus was gone forever. .She covered her face and started to cry.

    47

    Brutus was on his own.

    48

    Brutus whined and his tail lifted once in recognition of her voice.

    49

    Brutus, come back here!

    50

    Brutus, sketching a portrait of the perfect and ideal orator, Cicero's last word on oratory.

    51

    Bursting through the door, she immediately spotted Brutus, who was waging a battle against a pack of wild dogs.

    52

    But perhaps the most singular scene is the council of three great ladies presided over by Servilia at Antium, which decides the movements of Brutus and Cassius in June 44 B.C., when Cassius " looking very fierce - you would say that he was breathing fire and sword " - blustered concerning what he considered an insult, viz.

    53

    By his wife Porcia, daughter of Cato, afterwards married to Brutus, he had three sons.

    54

    Can you get Brutus to take the goats back to the barn?

    55

    Don't let Brutus die.

    56

    During his tribuneship (232 B.C.), in spite of the determined opposition of the senate and his own father, he carried a measure for distributing among the plebeians the alter Gallicus Picenus, an extensive tract of newly-acquired territory to the south of Ariminum (Cicero, De senectute, 4, Brutus, 14).

    57

    Earlier in the work, however, we have the adventures of Brutus; of his follower Corineus, the vanquisher of the Cornish giant Goemagol (Gogmagog); of Locrinus and his daughter Sabre (immortalized in Milton's Comus); of Bladud the builder of Bath; of Lear and his daughters; of the three pairs of brothers, Ferrex and Porrex, Brennius and Belinus, Elidure and Peridure.

    58

    Even her loyal defense of Brutus against the wild dogs had included a needless risk to her life.

    59

    Eventually they would run the Longhorns with the buffalo, and then Brutus could stay with all of them, but the animals would have to be quarantined at first and then allowed to adjust to each other.

    60

    Fortunately, Brutus wasn't the culprit.

    61

    Had he given Brutus something for that purpose?

    62

    Had she been dreaming, or was Brutus barking?

    63

    Has Brutus been acting strange lately?

    64

    He checked Brutus for a pulse and then put an arm around her.

    65

    He could look at the track – maybe exonerate Brutus for you.

    66

    He had a way with animals, winning Brutus' love and respect, and the trust of the entire dairy herd as well.

    67

    He had considered her feelings about replacing Brutus and when she killed his horse, he had tried to console her by saying it was only a horse.

    68

    He said Ed was only a horse – and Brutus was only a dog.

    69

    He said Ed was only a horse – and Brutus was only a dog.

    70

    He surrounded himself with a bodyguard of Caesar's veterans, and forced the senate to transfer to him the province of Cisalpine Gaul, which was then administered by Decimus Junius Brutus, one of the conspirators.

    71

    He was right, of course, and he didn't like putting Brutus down any more than she did.

    72

    He was upset that she didn't do something about Brutus so that he didn't suffer.

    73

    He wrote, apparently about the year 1143, a chronicle entitled Annales sive Historia de gestis regum Britanniae, which begins with Brutus and carries the history of England down to 1129.

    74

    He'll think Brutus did it.

    75

    His declared sympathy with Brutus and Cassius occasioned his banishment in 66.

    76

    I haven't noticed, but Brutus has been here a lot, so I guess the goats have been too.

    77

    I thought Brutus might be killing deer.

    78

    I was just trying to catch Brutus.

    79

    I went by the house to pick up a picture and Brutus came to the house with blood on his muzzle.

    80

    I'm afraid Brutus might be killing deer.

    81

    If Alex had given Brutus something to put him down, it was because he was afraid she didn't have the courage to make that decision.

    82

    If she ran to the house to call for help, the dogs would attack Brutus again.

    83

    In 42 B.C. Brutus and Cassius declared him a traitor, invaded his territory and put him to death.

    84

    In 43 B.C. he was proscribed, but managed to escape to the camp of Brutus and Cassius.

    85

    In great state the tribune moved through the streets of Rome, being received at St Peter's with the hymn Veni Creator Spiritus, while in a letter the poet Petrarch urged him to continue his great and noble work, and congratulated him on his past achievements, calling him the new Camillus, Brutus and Romulus.

    86

    In Greenmount Cemetery in the north central part of the city are the graves of Junius Brutus Booth, Mme Elizabeth Patterson Bonaparte (1785-1879), the wife of Jerome Bonaparte, Johns Hopkins, John McDonogh and Sidney Lanier.

    87

    In the chapters devoted to the origines of Britain he relies on the Brutus legend, but cannot carry his catalogue of British or English kings further than 735, where he honestly confesses that his authorities fail him.

    88

    In the Civil War it sided with Pompey, and later on with Brutus and Cassius.

    89

    In the civil wars of the 1st century B.C. the Ephesians twice supported the unsuccessful party, giving shelter to, or being made use of by, first, Brutus and Cassius, and afterwards Antony, for which partisanship or weakness they paid very heavily in fines.

    90

    In the following year (42) Antony and Octavian proceeded against the conspirators Cassius and Brutus, and by the two battles of Philippi annihilated the senatorial and republican parties.

    91

    In the south of France he worked hard for the Jacobinical cause, and figured as "Brutus" in the Jacobin club of the small town of St Maximin (then renamed Marathon).

    92

    It is true also that he shares in the traditional idolatry of Brutus, that he strikes at Augustus in his mention of the "three disciples of Sulla," and that he has no word of recognition for what even Tacitus acknowledges as the beneficent rule of Trajan.

    93

    It reminded her of their conversation about Brutus.

    94

    It was big enough to be Brutus.

    95

    It was big enough to belong to Brutus – maybe too big.

    96

    It was big enough to belong to Brutus – maybe too big.

    97

    It was nice to see the way Brutus had taken to him.

    98

    It wasn't as if she was going to allow Brutus to attack their guest.

    99

    Jonathan helped her get Brutus in a wheelbarrow and pushed it up to the tree for her.

    100

    Josh eyed Brutus and then shook his head.

    101

    Josh grabbed the sack and pulled Brutus along.

    102

    Josh saw me running after Brutus and came over to see what was wrong.

    103

    Josh yelled at her as he approached Brutus.

    104

    Lucius Junius Brutus, her husband's cousin, put himself at the head of the people, drove out the Tarquins, and established a republic. The accounts of this tradition in later writers present many points of divergence.

    105

    Maybe other critters could get into it, but it was out of Brutus' reach.

    106

    Monday morning while she was feeding the horses, Brutus was watching the hills with unusual interest.

    107

    Neapolis was the port of Philippi, as Kavala now is of Seres; in the bay on which it stands the fleet of Brutus and Cassius was stationed during the battle of Philippi.

    108

    Next year Pollio conducted a successful campaign against the Parthini, an Illyrian people who adhered to Brutus, and celebrated a triumph on the 25th of October.

    109

    Norse versions of Mary of Brittany's Lays, the stories of Brutus and of Troy, and part of the Pharsalia translated are also found.

    110

    Octavianus and Antonius crossed the Adriatic in 42 B.C. to reduce the last defenders of the republic. Brutus and Cassius were defeated, and fell at the battle of Philippi.

    111

    On Caesar's death Dolabella seized the insignia of the consulship (which had already been conditionally promised him), and, by making friends with Brutus and the other assassins, was confirmed in his office.

    112

    On the other side of the creek, Brutus plodded his way over to a tree.

    113

    One night after chores, Carmen, Jonathan and Destiny were eating supper when Brutus started barking.

    114

    Placing the flashlight on Brutus, she grabbed the sack with both hands and tugged.

    115

    Probably this was the road taken by Decimus Brutus when he succeeded, after the raising of the siege of Mutina in 43 B.C., in occupying Pollentia just before Mark Antony's cavalry came in sight.

    119

    She called Brutus and slowly walked down to the house.

    120

    She caught up with Brutus near the tree line and that was when she saw it – half hidden under a dead limb.

    121

    She caught up with Brutus near the tree line and that was when she saw it – half hidden under a dead limb.

    122

    She fed Brutus again and left.

    123

    She followed the plan, had the picture in-hand and was locking the door to the house when Brutus wandered up with a bloody muzzle.

    124

    She found Brutus in the stall next to Ed where Alex had put him.

    125

    She hated to leave the little doe for them, but maybe their interest in the goat would keep them occupied long enough to get Brutus into the barn.

    126

    She hesitated a moment before dumping it on Brutus.

    127

    She kept the doors locked and pulled Brutus in from the fields to walk with them when they did chores.

    128

    She leaned down and laid her head on Brutus' chest.

    129

    She lunged frantically again, dragging Brutus nearly four feet this time.

    130

    She opened the front door, which was still unlocked, and allowed Brutus to go in first.

    131

    She raced over to Brutus and positioned the sack behind him.

    132

    She slowly retreated and knelt beside Brutus again.

    133

    She stepped out the door and called Brutus back.

    134

    She took Brutus back to the house and washed his muzzle off.

    135

    She walked back to their house with Brutus.

    136

    She was the only one who would probably understand her concern for Brutus.

    137

    Similarly the triumvirs after Philippi condoned her enthusiasm for the cause of Brutus.

    138

    So why do you think it isn't likely it was Brutus?

    139

    So you think Brutus is killing deer?

    140

    So, does that prove it wasn't Brutus?

    141

    Someone had to act in Brutus' interest.

    142

    Stepping back, she watched tearfully as he shoveled dirt over Brutus.

    143

    Stretch Mulligan was played with real star character - well on a level with Brutus T firefly.

    144

    Suddenly Brutus was at her side again, lunging to meet the red dog.

    145

    That the passion which she inspired in him was tender, pure and fitted to raise to a higher level a nature which in some 1 The Journal for 1755 records that during that year, besides writing and translating a great deal in Latin and French, he had read, amongst other works, Cicero's Epistolae ad familiares, his Brutus, all his Orations, his dialogues De amicitia and De senectute, Terence (twice), and Pliny's Epistles.

    146

    The Brutus is only known from 15th-century transcripts of the lost cod.

    147

    The consuls Aulus Hirtius and C. Vibius Pansa, however, fell in the battle, and the senate became suspicious of Octavian, who, irritated at the refusal of a triumph and the appointment of Brutus to the command over his head, entered Rome at the head of his troops, and forced the senate to bestow the consulship upon him (August 19th).

    148

    The consuls set out for Mutina, where Antonius was besieging Decimus Brutus.

    149

    The dogs scattered, leaving Brutus wounded on the ground.

    150

    The embassy to Delphi (see Brutus, Lucius JuNIUS) cannot be historical, since at the time there was no communication between Rome and the mainland of Greece.

    151

    The fact was, she wasn't sure how he would react if he discovered Brutus was killing deer.

    152

    The Henriade was at last licensed in France; Brutus, a play which he had printed in England, was accepted for performance, but kept back for a time by the author; and he began the celebrated poem of the Pucelle, the amusement and the torment of great part of his life.

    153

    The hoof Brutus had brought her had to be a different one.

    154

    The last time I saw the deer up here, I found a track big enough to belong to Brutus – only it didn't look like his tracks.

    155

    The last time I saw the deer up here, I found a track big enough to belong to Brutus – only it didn't look like his tracks.

    156

    The lead dog was the Chow she had recognized the night the dogs attacked Brutus.

    157

    The list of his works includes hymns and national songs - among others, the famous Chant du depart; odes, Sur la mort de Mirabeau, Sur l'oligarchie de Robespierre, &c.; tragedies which never reached the stage, Brutus et Cassius, Philippe deux, Tibere; translations from Sophocles and Lessing, from Gray and Horace, from Tacitus and Aristotle; with elegies, dithyrambics and Ossianic rhapsodies.

    158

    The national history, however, furnished the theme of the Brutus and Decius, - the expulsion of the Tarquins and the self-sacrifice of Publius Decius Mus the younger.

    159

    The next morning when she was feeding the horses, Brutus wandered up with something in his mouth.

    160

    The outline of the dairy was dim in the early dawn light, but the intermittent barking from Brutus was like a beacon.

    161

    The Parthians formed a league with Brutus and Cassius, as previously with Pompey, but gave them no support, until in 40 B.C. a Parthian army, led by Pacorus and the republican general Labienus, harried Syria and Asia Minor.

    162

    The remnant of the republican party took refuge either with Brutus and Cassius in the East, or with Sextus Pompeius, who had made himself master of the seas.

    163

    The second book of Cicero's letters to Brutus was first printed by Cratander of Basel in 1528 from a MS. obtained for him by Sichardus from the abbey of Lorsch.3 All these MSS.

    164

    The smart thing to do would be to abandon Brutus for the safety of the barn.

    165

    The truth was, though, that Brutus had taken to Alex almost the first day – as soon as Carmen assured him Alex was a friend, not a foe.

    166

    The truth was, though, that Brutus had taken to Alex almost the first day – as soon as Carmen assured him Alex was a friend, not a foe.

    167

    The wheelbarrow was in the barn, but even if she managed to get there and back, she couldn't lift Brutus into it.

    168

    The x went between two toes and straddled the pad on the one he drew to represent Brutus.

    169

    There it was interpreted as Troy Novant, the "new Troy," and connected with the names of the Trojans Brutus and Corineus who were reputed to have given their names to Britain and Cornwall.

    170

    There was no question in her mind that Brutus had been feeding on the carcass, but did he kill it?

    171

    They caught the man running through the buffalo pasture, with Brutus barking and nipping at his heels.

    172

    They cleaned up the mess and then stood in awkward silence, watching Brutus.

    173

    They divided the western provinces among them, the east being held for the republic by Brutus and Cassius.

    174

    They only wanted Brutus and the goats.

    175

    They talked for a little while longer and then she announced that she had to bury Brutus, but she would meet them at the stable in a couple hours for the first ride.

    176

    They worked over Brutus for the better part of an hour and finally Alex leaned back and stretched.

    177

    This one is what Brutus' tracks look like.

    178

    Through the influence of Nobilior's son, Ennius subsequently obtained the privilege of Roman citizenship (Cicero, Brutus, 20.79).

    179

    Thus we learn much from the de Legibus regarding the constitutional history of Rome, and much from the Brutus concerning the earlier orators.

    180

    To this period belong several famous rhetorical and philosophical works, the Brutus, Orator, Partitiones Oratoriae, Paradoxa, Academica, de Finibus, Tusculan Disputations, together with other works now lost, such as his Laus Catonis, Consolatio and Hortensius.

    181

    Toenails clicked on concrete behind her and panting announced that Brutus had arrived for his breakfast.

    182

    Together they lifted Brutus from the wheelbarrow and placed him in the hole.

    183

    Together they managed to get Brutus safely into the barn.

    184

    We also have the Penrose cryptogram Tools, but Brutus, our cryptogram solver, is only available to Members.

    185

    Were they waiting to devour Penny, or were they waiting to finish off Brutus?

    186

    What if Brutus is killing deer?

    187

    What would Alex do if he found out Brutus was killing deer?

    188

    When Brutus is growling or barking at something, he's warning you.

    189

    When civil war again broke out, DeIotarus was persuaded to support Brutus and Cassius, but after the battle of Philippi went over to the triumvirs.

    190

    When she walked back through the dairy, Brutus was lapping water.

    191

    Yet there was more at stake here than Brutus.

    192

    You figured Brutus killed the deer and you figured he'd shoot him.

    193

    You saw something in the forest; Brutus was growling and you had to be told to get out of there?
