"Now that is not brave," said Dorothea, "to give up the fight." "No, it is not brave," said Lydgate, "but if a man is afraid of creeping paralysis?" Then, in another tone, "Yet you have made a great difference in my courage by believing in me.
If he does not recover from his attack, if the paralysis does not leave that poor brain, worn out with doing nothing, we can honestly say that he is the last of his kind. An original and independent thinker has asserted that civilizations, societies, empires, and republics go down to posterity typified for the admiration of mankind, each under the form of some hero.
I had only one made, for Jerry. There aren't any more." "Well," sighed Lark resignedly, "it's a pretty idea for my book, anyhow." From that day on, Prudence always wore the sparkling ring, and the women of the Methodist church nearly had mental paralysis marveling over a man who gave a diamond ring, and never came a-wooing!
Perhaps there was something in that sound more than the mere fact of the strong vibration that produced the instantaneous effect on the frame of the prostrate man, and for the time completely shook off the obstruction of paralysis.

His experience had been that with these young "rounders" generosity went hand in hand with success and its attendant exhilaration; and that when depression set in, as it obviously had done in this instance, a sudden paralysis numbed the open palm.
Toward his last days the artist was attacked with paralysis, but grew better and was able to paint again; then he began to go blind he was already deaf and this affliction made painting impossible. Shortly before his death, he undertook to raise funds for a monument to his dead friend, Dr.
The height of the paradox was achieved when a silly nomenclature was devised to meet every vacillation of the human temperament. If you feared to cross the street you suffered from agoraphobia; if you didn't fear to cross the street, that too was a very bad sign. If you painted like Monet, paralysis of the optical centre had set in but why continue?
