The proper reflection to make is, "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Whether we say Christ or Perfection does not matter, it is what we mean which is either enthralling or dull, fresh or fusty; "there's nothing in a name."
"I mean to dance with Teresa Ottolini," announced Count Orsetti, timidly he could not name Teresa without reddening. "We arranged it together a month ago." "And I am engaged to Countess Navascoes," said Count Malatesta. This engagement was said to have begun some years back, and to be very enthralling.
I? What! in my bosom chaste Can mortal's image have a seat? This heart, by heavenly glory graced, Dares it with earthly love to beat? The saviour of my country, I, The champion of the Lord Most High, Own for my country's foe a flame To the chaste sun my guilt proclaim, And not be crushed beneath my shame? Woe! oh woe! what strains enthralling!
The public interest in our doings seems to be entirely of a friendly nature, and if our neighbours find a hundredth part of the charm and novelty in us that we find in them, they are fortunate indeed, and we cheerfully sacrifice our privacy on the altar of the public good. A village in Scotland is the only place I can fancy where housekeeping becomes an enthralling occupation.
There was an enthralling interest in seeing how the people at home "were taking things." To be perfectly candid, before the war, the Army had placed very little reliance upon the patriotism or integrity of the country. The Army was a thing apart detached from the swirl of conflicting ideas, and the eddies of political strife.
He was always intense, always absorbed. When he applied his mind to a problem, it became at once an enthralling arena, in which there went whirling a chariot-race of ideas and inventive fancies. He had been fascinated from boyhood by his father's system of "Visible Speech."
The place was enthralling, with its two stoves, each as big as the dining room table at home, its shelves and barrels of supplies, its rows of pies and loaves of bread, and all the crackle and bustle and aroma of its preparations. Time passed on wings. At length Corrigan glanced up at the square wooden clock and uttered some command to his two subordinates.
But the end was not of my seeking; in all honesty I can say that if it had been in my power I would have helped those wretched creatures, have dealt out pity to them and carried them to the shore; but it was written otherwise; a higher Power decreed it; we could but stand, trembling and helpless, before that enthralling justice.
Some people declared that the great lime-trees near the mansion at Hellebergene were alone responsible for the marriage. They soughed so wondrously in the summer evenings, and the sea beneath their branches told such enthralling stories. Those grand old woods, the like of which were hardly to be found in impoverished Norway, were far dearer to her than was her husband.
But the sensation Duff Lindsay tried to sit still under was not simple. It had the novelty, the shock, of a plunge into the sea; behind his decorous countenance he gasped and blinked, with unfamiliar sounds in his ears. His soul seemed shudderingly repelling Laura's, yet the buffets themselves were enthralling.
