My heart ached intolerably, a mist dimmed my sight, and a hideous choking lump rose in my throat; and it seemed to me that, old and futile and alone, I was set down, not in my garden, but in the midst of the abomination of desolation.
What pleasure would you find in prolonging the abomination of old age for a few years more? It's much better to die at once, while you are like that! Death is happiness!" He spoke in this fashion, not as a believer who aspires to the delicious reward of eternal life, but as a weary man who expects to fall into nihility, to enjoy the great everlasting peace of being no more.
The assembly of the church framed an address, in which, after telling her that her mass was a bastard service of God, the fountain of all impiety, and the source of every evil which abounded in the realm, they expressed their hopes, that she would ere this time have preferred truth to her own preconceived opinion, and have renounced her religion, which, they assured her, was nothing but abomination and vanity.
Corrugated iron is my abomination. I quite understand it has points, and I do not attack from an aesthetic standpoint. It really looks well enough when it is painted white.
In the palaestrae I could indulge practise which, if followed into the Circus, would become an abomination; and if I take to the course here, Malluch, I swear it will not be for the prize or the winner's fee." "Hold swear not so!" cried Malluch. "The fee is ten thousand sestertii a fortune for life!" "Not for me, though the prefect trebled it fifty times.
But, son of Arrius" Ilderim drew forth the package, and opened it slowly, while they walked to the divan and seated themselves "son of Arrius, see thou here, and help me with thy Latin." He passed the despatch to Ben-Hur. "There; read and read aloud, rendering what thou findest into the tongue of thy fathers. Latin is an abomination." Ben-Hur was in good spirits, and began the reading carelessly.
Therefore the daily sacrifice of Christ will cease universally at the advent of the abomination i.e. of Antichrist just as it has already ceased, particularly in some churches, and thus will be unemployed in the place of desolation viz. when the churches will be desolated, in which the canonical hours will not be chanted or the masses celebrated or the sacraments administered, and there will be no altars, no images of saints, no candles, no furniture.
Blood streamed from her delicate flesh, just as it had streamed from that decapitated neck. It was blood paying for blood; it was like payment for mankind's debt of wretchedness, for which payment is everlastingly being made, without man ever being able to free himself from suffering. Above the square and the crowd all was still silent in the clear sky. How long had the abomination lasted?
An Irish pork-merchant was seated at dinner next a Jew, who regarded the pig in toto as an abomination a lady, a scion of a ducal family, found herself next to a French cook going out to a San Franciscan eating-house an officer, going out to high command at Halifax, was seated next a rough Californian, who wore "nuggets" of gold for buttons; and there were contrasts even stronger than these.
In due time arrived the antidote. It was enclosed in a gallipot, and was what I believe they called an electuary. I don't know whether it is an obsolete abomination now, but it looked like brick-dust and treacle, and what it was made of even Puddock could not divine. O'Flaherty, that great Hibernian athlete, unconsciously winced and shuddered like a child at sight of it.
