That which was irritating about the French Revolution was this that it was not the introduction of a new ideal, but the practical fulfilment of an old one. From the time of the first fairy tales men had always believed ideally in equality; they had always thought that something ought to be done, if anything could be done, to redress the balance between Cinderella and the ugly sisters.
It is a remarkably Caesar-like head, every feature indicating the decision and positivism of the Roman character such a one, indeed, as ideally became the author of the 'Considerations. But how the face is altered when we look at it in another portrait a painted one, representing the writer in a great wig as President of the Parliament of Guyenne!
And now the life in Wallencamp seemed never like real life to me, even in the broadest daylight. It was like a dream the sweet, warm, brightening of the landscape; the vines growing over the low, brown houses; the lazy, summer voices in the air; the skies, too, were a dream and Luther, with his ideally beautiful face and his quaintness and ardor and unworldliness, was a part of the dream.
'The dyer's hand is subdued to what it works in. 'Ye have purified your souls, ideally, in the act of faith, and continuously, in the measure in which you practically obey the truth. We have here II. Purifying through the Spirit. I have already said that these words are possibly no part of the original text, but that they convey a true Christian idea, whether the words are here genuine or no.
You understand, my dear fellow, that Laurent is a fictitious name meant to hide the real name, just as a mask hides the face. This Laurent was ideally handsome. He was one of seventy-two Companions of Jehu who have lately been tried at Yssen-geaux. Seventy were acquitted; he and one other were the only ones condemned to death.
She was looking ideally pretty in the becoming uniform, but uniforms are always becoming, whatever the uniforms or the people may be. The reason of this is too obscure to fathom. One would say that to dress to suit oneself would be more becoming to men and women. Yet, in fact, the limitation and the want of variety in this sort of dress had a singular attraction.
You want to marry your intellectual young lover, who has only his pen between him and poverty, and your cruel father, who owns the town, says it is an act of madness on your part, and of presumption on his. And you are thinking of going to the nearest clergyman and defying parental authority. You have even looked at rooms where you believe you and Ernest could be ideally happy.
Like Rheinhardt's staging of "Sumurun," because these blazing interiors strike us at an unaccustomed angle, some are merely astonished, others charmed as well. There are temperaments ideally set in these interiors, and there are houses where they are in place.
So far as primitive society is concerned, we may admit with the Scotch historian Henderson that "the clan system of government was in its way an ideally perfect one probably the only perfect one that has ever existed.... The clansman was not the subject a term implying some sort of conquest but the kinsman of his chief.... Obedience became rather a privilege than a task, and no possible bribery or menace could shake his fidelity.
It leaves off where these other theories begin, having contented itself with the word truth's DEFINITION. 'No matter whether any mind extant in the universe possess truth or not, it asks, 'what does the notion of truth signify IDEALLY? 'What kind of things would true judgments be IN CASE they existed? The answer which pragmatism offers is intended to cover the most complete truth that can be conceived of, 'absolute' truth if you like, as well as truth of the most relative and imperfect description.
