"But what one loves most amid all these varied adventures is the country, the woods, the rising of the sun, the twilight, the moonlight. These are, for the painter, honeymoon trips with Nature. One is alone with her in that long and quiet association.
One thinks of Edgar Allan Poe, who dreamt of founding a distinctive American literature, drugged and killed almost as it were symbolically, amid electioneering and nearly lied out of all posthumous respect by that scoundrel Griswold; one thinks of State Universities that are no more than mints for bogus degrees; one thinks of "Science" Christianity and Zion City.
I look to you to support him, and am confident if all work heartily together no one need be afraid for the continued success of Willoughby." The doctor ended his speech amid the silence of his audience, which was not broken as he turned and left the room. At the same moment, to the relief of no one more than of Riddell, the bell sounded for breakfast and the assembly forthwith broke up.
But even as he did so, the momentarily glimpsed Gavin was lost to his view, amid the jostling and jostled sailors. Past the loosely crowding men, Brice ripped his way, and out onto the veranda which he cleared at a bound.

Kiss me, kiss me at once," and amid many growls of almost subterranean awfulness, the dog licked his master's face. "I wish you would tie him up to oblige me." Highly pleased at the fear and wonder his dog had struck in the gaudy Jewesses and the shaky generals, Frank threatened and finally forced the dog to lie down.

The loving worm within its clod is diviner than a loveless god amid his worlds. Let us go as far as the chapel. As they walked along the narrow, winding roadways, broken by projecting gables, and fenced by irregular rows of palisades, the old pastor began to re-live the long-departed days.
To go westward, where the great steamers plied toward the Orient, this would seem the natural course; and yet that way lay interminable prairies and empty stretches, and again deserts and piled mountains, without shelter and without food.
