For this there can be no excuse; and at such a horror the rest of the world cannot look on in silence without incurring the guilt of the bystander who witnesses a crime without even giving the alarm.

You are the only person that reaps the advantages of them without incurring the trouble, you, who are really more one of Madame's maids of honor than I am, because Madame makes her affection for your father-in-law glance off upon you; so that you enter this dull house as the birds fly into yonder court, inhaling the air, pecking the flowers, picking up the grain, without having the least service to perform, or the least annoyance to undergo.

He realized that his arraignment of the clubs would cost the magazine hundreds of friends; but, convinced of the great power of the woman's club with its activities rightly directed, he concluded that he could afford to risk incurring displeasure if he might point the way to more effective work. The one was worth the other. The displeasure was not slow in making itself manifest.

Richard knew very well that he was incurring a great risk in attempting to pass through Germany in this way, for the country was full of his foes.
The Georgics were written at Naples, and employed the author during a period of seven years.
