Presently, as though the thoughts in which she has been indulging have proved too much for her, she flings up her head impatiently, and, rising softly, goes to the back of Roger's chair and leans over it. "Roger," she says, in a little anxious whisper, that trembles ever so lightly, "you are not angry with me, are you?"
Carried to the absolute pitch the right of free movement ceases to be distinguishable from the right of free intrusion. We have already, in a comment on More's Utopia, hinted at an agreement with Aristotle's argument against communism, that it flings people into an intolerable continuity of contact.
In the moon of the Frost-Touching-Mildly clouds came up from the south with a great trampling of thunder, and flung out over the Dry Washes as a man flings his blanket over a maiden. But if the Rains were scant for two or three seasons, then there was Hunger, and the dust devils took the mesas for their dancing-places. "Now, Man tribe and Wolf tribe are alike in one thing.
'How can you enjoy music, Lady Georgina, if you are not in harmony with the heart and source of music? 'How do you mean? 'Until the human heart knows the divine heart, it must sigh and complain like a petulant child, who flings his toys from him because his mother is not at home. When his mother comes back to him he finds his toys are good still.
Furiously he rushes to the door and flings it wide. "Come in, then!" he cries. "Come in as many as you please! Rags or finery, sane or mad, in in! I've hung my head long enough! Bid them begone and they come again well, come in and have done. Bring out your reckoning, every one. Here's what's left of me come and take your share!" But he calls to the empty air.
But if you threaten me in life and limb, though the ring should not enclose the worth of a finger, not by any force could you get it from me! For life and limb, if I must live loveless and a slave to fear, life and limb, look you, like this I cast them far away from me!" He takes up and flings a clod of earth over his shoulder.
I pace to and fro, wondering, musing. All here seems so permanent, so still, so secure, and yet we are spinning and whirling through space to some unknown goal. What are the thoughts of the mighty unresting Heart, to whose vastness and agelessness the whole mass of these flying and glowing suns are but as a handful of dust that a boy flings upon the air?
Society draws caricatures, and in this way flings in the teeth of fallen kings the affronts which it fancies it has received from them; society, like the Roman youth at the circus, never shows mercy to the fallen gladiator; mockery and money are its vital necessities. "Death to the weak!"
Well, although they are abominable superstitions, yet these queer little offerings seem to me to be a great deal more pious than Rubens's big pictures; just as is the widow with her poor little mite compared to the swelling Pharisee who flings his purse of gold into the plate. A couple of days of Rubens and his church pictures makes one thoroughly and entirely sick of him.
It plunders the workers of the wealth they make, and then flings back at them a thousandth part of their own product as 'charity. It builds hospitals for the poor whom it has poisoned in filthy courts and alleys, and workhouses for the worn-out creatures from whom it has wrung every energy, every hope, every joy.
