Cimabue and Duccio are the last great exponents in the West of the greater tradition the tradition that held the essential everything and the accidental nothing. For with Duccio, at any rate, the sense of form was as much traditional as vital: and the great Cimabue is fin de siècle. They say that Cimabue died in 1302; Duccio about fifteen years later.

"You have contrived to fill in several details lacking in the description supplied by a policeman who chanced to be standing at the corner when Mrs. Lester's visitor posted a letter.

Here the earth was yet wet in places, and the scent was so strong as to leave no doubt of the recent nature of the accident which had wasted so much of a liquor that was very precious in Pottawattamie eyes; for accident they thought it must be, since no sane man could think of destroying the liquor intentionally.

Irgens made a wry face. Did she care to have things read to her? Really? It was intentionally that Aagot had mixed Ole's name into the conversation.
The boys need you to keep 'em on their toes. "'Ah have not deserted you intentionally, suh, he says. 'Since Ah saw you last an old friend of mine has passed to his rewahd. The Hono'able James Tullfohd Fawcett is no moh, suh a gallant gentleman has left us. "'That's too bad, I says. 'Did he leave a family? "'He did not, suh, says ole man Sanford.
For, just as the conferring of a benefit on one in need gave her intense pleasure, so, if she was the chance cause of pain to friend or foe, she suffered acutely.

He didn't try them on at the store, and when he got home he found that a nail was sticking right up through the heel of one." "Did he take them back?" "Not much. He said that he supposed the nail was put there intentionally to keep the foot from sliding forward in the shoe." 1 German equals 10 unkultured foreigners. 2 soldiers equal 10 civilians. 3 officers equal 12 privates.
