In ecstasy is no such blankness: merely the body is perforce inert, it would be entirely forgotten but for its periods of distress. Neither can ecstasy be confused with dreaming, by even the most simple person.
No one can read The Impercipient without recognizing that Mr. Hardy's atheism is as honest and as sincere as the religious faith of others, and that no one regrets the blankness of his universe more than he. He would believe if he could. Pessimism is the basis of all his verse, as it is of his prose.
Look at your hair all white with mist and your sopping dress. I can't trust you to look after yourself for one day, can I?" She looked at him as if he were a ghost. A look of blankness and horror. He gathered her up and carried her to her bedroom. Putting her in a chair beside the fire he knelt down and pulled off her shoes and stockings. She felt as if something were breaking inside her.
His face was a mask, but I thought as I have thought before and since when at the council fire that there was amusement in the very blankness of his gaze, and that my effort to outdo him at his own mummery somewhat taxed his gravity. When he spoke at last he told his story concisely. A half hour later, I went in search of Cadillac.

Dog described; the chain round the neck settled it. He scowled at her darkly.
Could this blankness on Dickie's face be genuine? "What Rosie?" "Why, the one who gave you the cherries." "Oh, that one!" Dickie laughed lightly. "Why, that's all off long ago, you know." Right there I abandoned all faith in a sentimental theory having to do with Cupid and certain pages in the heart of Youth.
Her natural blankness of imagination read his absence as an entire relinquishment; it knelled in a vacant chamber. He had gone; he had committed an irretrievable error, he had given up a fight of his own vain provoking, that was too severe for him: he was not the lover he fancied himself, or not the lord of men she had fancied him.
'Then take my assurance now, said Beatrice, closing her book, and rising to move towards her aunt. As she went, she cast a look back, a look of curious blankness, as if into vacancy. She sang shortly after, and the souls of the politicians were stirred within them.
They looked for all the world like a row of charming gargoyles every mouth was open although there was no blankness in those active mischief-hunting eyes. Their bodies, propped on boxes, were concealed by the wall from the passer-by, and from the sharp eyes of dueñas by a group of trees just behind them.
