But he had more genius, and exercised a greater influence on posterity. His influence was more subtle and more dangerous, for he led astray people of generous impulses and enthusiastic dispositions, with but little intelligence or experience.
Could the enthusiastic members of the improvement association be brought face to face with the cost that is needed for quite hidden fundamental work in order to prepare their green for the more elaborate artistic decoration, they would be deterred at the outset from attempting any thing so ambitious.
And look whichever way I might, everywhere there was the same blue serge, on men and women alike, in all directions, as far as I could see. The bus stopped before a neat, square building of rather smaller size, and the next thing I knew, Benda was running down the steps to meet me. He was his old gruff, enthusiastic self.
The strong pure yellow marks the beholder's enthusiastic recognition of the technical skill of the artist, while all the other colours are expressions of the various emotions evoked within him by the examination of so glorious a work of art.
And some of the more enthusiastic members of the League have actually "donned the saffron," in imitation of the Ersefied Normans of 400 years ago.

The idea of our opponents, that they would find a support in the Socialists of our country, rested on a complete misunderstanding of the German character. A foreign woman wrote to me in the days of the mobilization: "I do not understand the German enthusiasm for war how it is possible that one can become enthusiastic about murder!" The woman only saw the exterior and superficial phase of things.
But his wife had grown so enthusiastic about the beauties of the Fujinami domain, that he had expected to walk straight into a paradise. What did he see? A dirty pond and some shrubs, not one single flower to break the monotony of green and drab, and everything so small. Why, he could walk round the whole enclosure in ten minutes.
He assured her Majesty that he would not fail to attend to the directions which the memorandum contained, and for a while harmony was restored.
