The world is losing it, and the world will die from the loss. The chief aid to my faith is the clean hearts I see in my poor." "Uncle Mac again?" ventured Mark. "Uncle Mac, and Uncles Mac many of them. They have a heritage of cleanness. It is the best thing they brought to this new world, and we were the losers when they left us." "We? But you are English, are you not?" asked Mark courteously.
There is something repulsive as well as pedantic in this art. The poetry, the nobility, the moderation and cleanness of line of Brahms is absent. Instead, there is a sort of brutal coldness, the coldness of the born pedant, a prevalence of bad humor, a poverty of invention and organizing power that conceals itself under an elaborate and complex and erudite surface.
A deep sympathy, a nameless anguish seized her soul, and before Pentaur could open his lips, she had sunk slowly down before Ameni, saying in low tones: "I have sinned and defiled myself; thou hast said it as Pentaur said it by the hut of the paraschites. Restore me to cleanness, Ameni, for I am unclean."
Yet it can be told that John Schuyler came from a long line of clean-bodied, clean-souled, clear-eyed, clear-headed ancestors; and from these he had inherited cleanness of body and of soul, clearness of eye and of head.

I do not speak it with regard to the coarseness or cleanness of them or the strength of their gussets but pray do not night-shifts differ from day-shifts as much in this particular, as in any thing else in the world; that they so far exceed the others in length, that when you are laid down in them, they fall almost as much below the feet, as the day-shifts fall short of them?
It was still in its calm and sober cleanness; the tall clock ticked with a startling distinctness. From the half-closed door of her mother's bedroom, which stood ajar, she heard the chipper of Miss Prissy's voice. She stayed her light footsteps, and the words that fell on her ear were these:
He stopped and listened: it came again, and from the bed. He drew nigh, and there, to his amazement, on his own pillow, lay the massive head of a coarse-looking, vulgar man of about thirty, with a silk handkerchief fastened over it as nightcap. A brawny arm lay outside the bedclothes, with an enormous hand of very questionable cleanness, though one of the fingers wore a heavy gold ring.
Well, that much he would be frank about; he would let them know exactly how many stacks of chips he could buy. Leon Guggenhammer was young and fat.

The contrast between the cleanness and splendour of Quinsay and the gloomy dirt of European cities in the thirteenth century is very striking. China then enjoyed hackney coaches, tea gardens, and hilarity; while the delights of European capitals were processions of monks among perpetual dunghills in narrow crooked lanes. Probably meaning a gong.
