Out of these tendencies the more complex processes of which we speak are made, but they are no mere repetition of old forms. That, at least, is the way these ecstatic moods appear from our point of view. They are emotional forces that are at work, composite feelings and moods rather than instincts.
It seems that Frank must have been allowed just now to sample several different kinds of moods, for he had a very different kind of awakening a day or two later. They had come to some piece of open country that I am unable to identify, and for some reason or other determined to spend the night out of doors.
She did not know how he would take it, for during the summer she had seen him in vicious moods when he seemed capable of everything. She saw the speck which he made against the horizon as he came over Argyle Mountain three miles away and she saw that he was riding fast. He was bringing good news!
They acted like boys more mischievous than boys in their most frolicsome moods. Their movements were grotesque, their gestures extravagant, their talk high-pitched and flavored with a dialect that Ruth had never heard. They were "showing off"; the girl knew that. But she also knew that in their actions was much of earnestness, that an excess of vigor filled them.
After a while men found a little respite from the mad chase for wealth and pleasure and discovered that Turner's extreme examples represented peculiar moods in nature, seen only by those who had traveled as widely as had Turner, while his great landscapes were as rich in imaginative quality as those of any artist of all ages.
He had seen a good bit of the world through the peek sight of his rifle, and there was something always in the feel of a gun that lifted him to higher moods. And yet one could reach a tender spot in him without the aid of a gun. That winter vacation I set myself to study things for declamation specimens of the eloquence of Daniel Webster and Henry Clay and James Otis and Patrick Henry.
She had, in fact, just had a curious talk with Alec which had ended in something like a scene. As Hester's health grew more frail, her temper became more fierce, and of late there had been times when a certain savagery, concealed with difficulty in her husband's moods, affected her horribly. This morning she felt a new character in Emily's manner. She was timid and shy, and a little awkward.
His manner was in the strangest contrast with the two different moods in which she had already seen him as if the fires were out, as if all emotion and interest had been dissolved in listlessness. And she divined at once that her chance of success was small. "That will hold, I think," he said gravely; and started toward his horse. "It wasn't Tuesday's fault," she said eagerly.
These moods are accumulations and repositories of interests and desires, and they must be appreciated by all who as educators, undertake to direct the forces in our national life. These desires must be made more definitely conscious everywhere, and be subjected to influence and education.
He was haunted till he slept by the memory of Hilary's nervous, tired face as he had seen it in the moonlight in the gondola, and again in the hall as he said good night. Hilary wasn't coming to bed yet. He stayed to talk to Peggy. If anything could be good for Hilary's moods of depression, thought Peter, Peggy would. How jolly for Hilary to be married to her! She was such a refreshment always.
