He now anoints you with the chrism of salvation, so that, united with his people, you ... anointed. The anointing, while very significant, is not as elaborate as in baptism and confirmation. While anointing the hands of the new priest, the celebrant (a bishop) says the following words: The Father anointed our Lord Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. May Jesus preserve you to sanctify the Christian people and to offer sacrifice to God. There is a tremendous symbolization present with this anointing. By the ... liturgy begins with a litany, followed by the laying on of hands. The celebrant then blesses the oils, and begins the anointing.

- 462: Oscar Wilde
- ... Gray, was published in Lippincott's Magazine. It raised a storm of protest to thinly veiled allusions to the protagonist's homosexuality. In 1891 he published Intentions, a collection of dialogues about the aesthetic philosophy; Lord Arthur Savile's Crime, a collection of short stories; and A House Of Pomegranates, a collection of children's' stories. He also produced The Duchess Of Padua. In that same year he met and befriended Lord Alfred Douglas, the son of the Marquess of Queensberry. In 1892, he produced Lady Windermere's Fan; in 1893, A Woman of No Importance; and in 1895, the Importance of Being Earnest, which was hailed ... well as An Ideal Husband.

- 464: Camus The Outsider Vs. Bolts A
- ... see his darling Cunegonde again. He seldom dwells on his misfortunes, and looks to the future for hope while many of the other characters mull over what a horrid existence they lead. The Venetian Nobleman, Lord Pococurante relates to Candide in a manner slightly different than most of the other characters. While most other characters differ from Candide by their pessimism (most notable Martin, who seems to be the antitheses of Candide's optimism), Lord Pococurante is unhappy with life because he is supremely jaded with what the world has to offer. He is thus Candide's opposite as much as Martin, though the opposition is based upon the noble ... sentiments of Voltaire, as he is constantly being proven right, as when he predicted the misery of Paquette and Friar Giroflee, and also when he predicted their increased misery by Candide's donation. Similar to Lord Pococurante, Martin was jaded with the world, though not to such an extreme degree. Martin may also represent reason, and it is through this reason he realizes so much about the world, and is ...
