Стр. 548 - Sail forth— steer for the deep waters only, Reckless O soul, exploring, I with thee, and thou with me, For we are bound where mariner has not yet dared to go, And we will risk the ship, ourselves and all.
Стр. 76 - There was never any more inception than there is now, Nor any more youth or age than there is now, And will never be any more perfection than there is now, Nor any more heaven or hell than there is now.

Like the garish Transformation Scene and the debased Harlequinade of the old-fashioned pantomime, the only parts remaining true pantomine, its demands are direct and immediate, at once much more and much less than those of the vocal stage-play. And its preliminary demand is for concentration. Given...

' My dear, pray do not call yourself by such distressing names,' pleaded Miss Harriet, gently. ' Oh ! I don't call myself a spendthrift.

Стр. 50 - Colthurst revelled in incongruities. There was unquestionably a sinister vein in him, a rather morbid enjoyment of all that is strange, jarring, unexpected, abnormal. Some persons, indeed, have gone so far as to accuse him of a love of actual physical deformity^ and a relish of horror for mere horror's sake. No doubt his power of appreciation was widely catholic, his view of beauty an original one. Yet he invariably, as far as I could see, rejected that which was unnatural or unsavoury, unless the...
Стр. 580 - ... complexion on much she had learned of late to hold dearest. It had effected nothing less, indeed, than a revolution in her outlook on life. Finally, it had raised a practical question of the very gravest moment ; a question which it was impossible to ignore, which she was compelled to answer. Not that her affection for Colthurst was lessened. It remained ; its dominion over her was strong as ever. But the quality of it had suffered change. It had lost its brilliancy, lost its fearless delight,...
Стр. 95 - It is worth the labour," saith Plotinus, " to consider well of love, whether it be a god or a devil, or passion of the mind, or partly god, partly devil, partly passion.
Стр. 539 - s doorstep, he had heard the cat growling to herself down in the area as she crunched up the mouse. CHAPTER VI. Do you know what it is to love and be loved ? Do you know— not by hearsay merely, but by experience— this absorption of the life of one human being in another, the one man in the one woman, the one woman in the one man?
Стр. 350 - I perhaps it was mostly seeming; — during which Time's hurrying feet were stayed ; and the shadow standing at high noon on the face of the dial, paused, crept no further towards sun-setting and the night.
