Fortunately, in a little while I began to get wholesomely angry; which always is a good thing, I think, when a man gets into a tight place if he don't carry it too far since it rouses the fighting spirit in him and so helps him to pull through.
By flattery after flattery, she tempts, she rouses curiosity, she soothes, she rouses in you the faintest spark of desire, she carries you away with her, and makes you proud of yourself. Then the right of indemnifications for her husband comes. On this occasion the wife confounds the imagination of her husband.
The one is more perfect, the other more colossal. The first gives you the peace of perfect art, beauty, at first sight. The second gives you sublimity, terror, pity, a beauty of second impression. The one gives that for which the other rouses a desire.
Now thrice has this been done, thrice has constant fortune favoured the brace of prebendaries, ere the archdeacon rouses himself to the battle; but at the fourth assault he pins to the earth a prostrate king, laying low his crown and sceptre, bushy beard, and lowering brow, with a poor deuce. "As David did Goliath," says the archdeacon, pushing over the four cards to his partner.
We were orphans and spinster Aunt Lucy did her best to be a parent to us; and we got on smoothly enough, for none of us had the temperament that rouses friction in the home. "Across the street?" Aunt Lucy guessed, raising her aristocratic eyebrows a hair's breadth. "Yes," I returned, the least bit irritated at the implication of that hairbreadth raise.
Dante, by the distinctness of his outline, addresses himself more to the reader's senses and perception; Milton rouses his higher imaginative capacity. In the whole "Inferno," is there a sentence so aglow as this line and a half of "Paradise Lost"? "And the torrid clime Smote on him sore besides, vaulted with fire."
He has talked to me; he likes you in a way, but you are a foreigner he says-your life is not my life. 'He is not the man for you! Those were his words. And now he doesn't talk to me, but when I am in the room he looks at me that's worse a thousand times; when he talks it rouses me to fight when it's his eyes only, I'm a coward at once; I feel I would do anything, anything, only not to hurt him.
This rouses her lover's furious jealousy, as he construes her act into a proof of unfaithfulness on the part of his betrothed. The last look of farewell which Fatima casts from a distance at the young monarch, on his return from his coronation, inflames the jealous lover to wreak instant vengeance for the supposed outrage upon his honour.
Dip from its white-edged ripples, or from its calm heart, or from the foam that breaks over its blue when the wind rouses it to frolic, and you dip what is fit for a baptismal font, you dip purity itself. The purity of nature is the expression of joy, and it is a revelation to us that the Creator's holiness is not repellent and severe.
Occasionally she rouses up and asks if we are sure he is dead the he being her husband the last one, presumably.
