May you prove more successful in your enterprise than those who have preceded you." "The adventure appears to be tending in unforeseen directions," said Chang Tao uneasily. "Your felicitation, benign, though doubtless gold at heart, is set in a doubtful frame." "It is for your stalwart endeavour to assure a happy picture," replied Shen Yi, with undisturbed cordiality. "You bear a sword."
I cannot here talk the language of critics, and speak of this picture merely as a picture, for to me it was a revelation. In the same gallery is the lovely Madonna of the Meyer family: inexpressibly touching and perfect in its way, but conveying only one of the attributes of Mary, her benign pity; while the Madonna di San Sisto is an abstract of all.
I shrieked and shut my eyes, and when I looked again the light was gone. Long before daybreak I was exhausted.

A benign influence seemed to steal into me out of its silver shining; the craze fell from me, and I wept.
"After our distinguished host had bidden farewell to his elder guests, whom he accompanied to the steps, he turned to me with a look so benign and affectionate I never shall forget it, and stooping, kissed my forehead.

"'Nonsense, nonsense, I said, 'such words are only to mask a refusal. Mask, I remember, was the word that hurt him. Of all I could have used, it was the worst: I knew it the instant I had said it. Lord Davenant stepped back, and with such a look! You, Helen, who have seen only his benign countenance, his smiling eyes, cannot conceive it.
The benign sun of the Arabian Caliphate, under which learning and industry flourished securely, had long since set in blood under circumstances of treachery and murder which have hardly been surpassed even in the late war. The then Caliph was foolish enough to appeal for assistance against the schismatic seditionists to his Mongol neighbours.
But, to my mind, the most satisfying sort of a host to observe at an art exhibition is that of the description of this admirable dealer before us.
