The grandiose aspects of war, its magnificent apparelling, he records monumentally enough the "dressing of the lists," the lion's heart, its unfaltering haste thither in all the freshness of youth and morning. Not sick although I have to do with death The sun doth gild our armour: Up, my Lords!
Newell, for all her talents, was not naturally either humorous or hyperbolic, and there were times when it would doubtless have been a relief to her to be as monumentally stolid as some of the persons whose dulness it was her fate to enliven.
While the Oriental Jew has a spare form and a weak muscular development, the Assyrian, like the modern Chaldaean, is robust, broad-shouldered, and large-limbed. Nowhere have we a race represented to us monumentally of a stronger or more muscular type than the ancient Assyrian.
You are more than an aunt to Henry. Life here with him will be far better for you than being the wife of that uncertain boy." She allowed it to pass, but it gave the final flick to her anger. "You are the kind of person, Henry, who is so monumentally selfish that you think everybody who dares to cross you in any way is himself monumentally selfish too.
Discipline, efficiency, duty, obedience, public service; these are qualities that excite admiration everywhere in the classroom, in the camp, and in the wider field of life.

Old Lucifer, fallen, crushed, and damned, knows the worth of forgiveness not young Michael, flintily hard and monumentally upright in his steel coat, a terror to the devil himself.

There were authors not less, some of them vague and female and in this case, as a rule, glossily ringletted and monumentally breastpinned, but mostly frequent and familiar, after the manner of George Curtis and Parke Godwin and George Ripley and Charles Dana and N.
