"I'd like ter know," he said, darkly, "what this yer God-forsaken famerly would do without ME!" It is to be presumed that the editor and Mr. Hamlin mutually kept to their tacit agreement to respect the impersonality of the poetess, for during the next three months the subject was seldom alluded to by either. Yet in that period White Violet had sent two other contributions, and on each occasion Mr.
Gorse that he had an overwhelming impersonality. One could never be quite sure that one's words reached the mark. In spite of the intimacy which I knew existed between them, in my presence at least Mr. Gorse's manner was little different with Mr. Watling than it was with other men. Mr. Wading did not seem to mind.
He reflected, with a bitterness rendered vague by a certain strange impersonality of his mood, how different would have been his life had Hoffmeir been unable to overcome the girl's scruples.
He would look out of the window for ten minutes at a time; but no, he did not care for the earth swept of human beings. He liked human beings he liked them, he suspected, better than Rachel did. There she was, swaying enthusiastically over her music, quite forgetful of him, but he liked that quality in her. He liked the impersonality which it produced in her.
Presently the automobile, after speeding up the asphalt of Grant Avenue, stopped before the new house. In spite of the change that house had made in my life, in three weeks I had become amazingly used to it; yet I had an odd feeling that Christmas eve as I stood under the portico with my key in the door, the same feeling of the impersonality of the place which I had experienced before.
Curious labor for a mind, that of devoting all its strength to the thinking itself out of existence! Not content with being born impersonal, a Far Oriental is constantly striving to make himself more so. We have seen, then, how in trying to understand these peoples we are brought face to face with impersonality in each of those three expressions of the human soul, speech, thought, yearning.
Whenever there was need, Karyl had come to know that there would be Von Ritz, but also there went with him an austerity and an impersonality that robbed him of the gratitude and love he might have claimed. Now there was a note almost surly in the expression with which the Prince looked up to greet his father's confidential representative. "Well?" he demanded.
Finally, Herbart's method of thought, his impersonality, the at times anxious caution of his inquiry, and the neatness of his conceptions, are somewhat akin to Kant's, only that he lacked the gift of combination to a much greater degree than his great predecessor on the Königsberg rostrum.
She replied briefly and without much apparent animation, seeming indeed rather absent-minded and distraite. Presently Mr. Ardagh said, "This new man, William Foster, is that very rare thing in England a pitiless artist. He has the audacity of genius and the fine impersonality." Catherine started and flushed violently. As she did so she saw Jenny's long dark eyes fixed earnestly upon her.
Between one religion which teaches personality in God and in man, and another which offers only a quagmire of impersonality wherein a personal god and an individual soul exist only as the jack-lights of the marsh, mere phosphorescent gleams of decay, who can fail to choose? Of the two faiths, which shall be victor?
