"Come, then," said Clia, and once more taking Trot's hand, she led the girl through still another arch, while Merla followed just behind them, escorting Cap'n Bill. They now entered an apartment so gorgeous that the child fairly gasped with astonishment. The queen's throne room was indeed the grandest and most beautiful chamber in all the ocean palaces.
Thus Prince Albert of Prussia, one of the grandest looking soldiers of the imperial army, and certainly one of the most gigantic in stature, divides his time between Brunswick, where he holds a court of his own as regent, and England, where he is accustomed to spend his holidays.
It is so hard to love voluntarily, to satisfy one's self with minor affections, to know that life offers no more its grandest culmination, its divinest triumph, to accept a succession of wax-lights because the sun and the day can return no more, above all, to feel that the capacity of receiving that sunlight is fled, that, so far, one's own power is eternally narrowed, like the loss of a right hand or the blinding of a right eye!
In only one direction was it possible to go beyond Chopin, in that of making the piano capable of reproducing orchestral effects. This, Liszt achieved in his own works and his transcriptions.

Kilpatrick thus escaped disaster, defeated his pursuers, captured several pieces of the enemy's artillery, and presented to the beholders one of the grandest scenes ever witnessed in the New World. "By Heaven! it was a splendid sight to see, For one who had no friend or brother there." No one who looked upon that wonderful panorama can ever forget it.
From the statue they now began to turn the attention chiefly to the niche of the statue, and from the floral ornament to the mouldings that enclosed the floral ornament. The first result of this was, however, though not the grandest, yet the most finished of northern genius.
Probably she had learned it in childhood from her own mother, and in turn sung it again to the infant Daniel. It soothed me better than Beethoven or Wagner's grandest compositions could have done.
But when she asked him again of how he came there, and what meant the great ruined house, then he became foolish and wandering, and might scarce answer her; whereas otherwise he was a well-spoken old carle of many words, and those of the grandest.
