Ought not the evolution that was transforming literature, painting, even music itself, to renovate architecture as well? If ever the architecture of a period was to have a style of its own, it was assuredly the architecture of the period they would soon be entering, a new period when they would find the ground freshly swept, ready for the rebuilding of everything.
The Boston lady found she could not speak understandingly, so she left-her chair and went around to the different groups of ladies, who were talking earnestly, to get them interested. The first group of four that she broke in on were talking of the best way to renovate seal-skin cloaks that had been moth eaten.
Of course you have no answer ready; of course you have taken offence where none is meant. This is so like a woman to undertake to renovate society, and lose her temper at the first adverse word. He was looking at me with a peculiar but not unkindly smile as he spoke; in fact, his expression was almost pleasant; but I was too much prejudiced to be softened.
Vasari ought to be better informed upon this point than usual, since it was he who was employed in the sixteenth century to renovate S.

Lest I should talk foolishly on this subject, I will dismiss it, only begging you not to forget how your letters cheer, rejoice, elevate, renovate me."

His savings enabled him to renovate the whole gallery, which up to this time had been neglected and shabby. The floor was carefully waxed, the ceiling whitened, the wood-work painted to resemble the grain and knots of oak.
His watchword, henceforth, is the "good tidings," the announcement that the kingdom of God is at hand. Jesus is no longer simply a delightful moralist, aspiring to express sublime lessons in short and lively aphorisms; he is the transcendent revolutionary, who essays to renovate the world from its very basis, and to establish upon earth the ideal which he had conceived.
"Not at all, not at all. I shall witness your operations with great interest. You must not think that the wonders of science are indifferent to me." "So you are going on to Sark, you say?" "Yes. May I ask whether you will be persuaded to come?" "No, for certain. I have other fish to fry here." "I think it would renovate your health to come for a few days."
