As Brown acknowledged this reference to himself, by stirring the circle of hairs that expressed his sentiments to the world, Dan further proved the expansiveness of the Maluka's simile. "You might have noticed," he went on, "that when a dog does own a tail he generally manages to keep it out of the fight somehow."
We wrong ourselves and bring imperfection to our tasks when we forget that. We love the Indian crossing the stream in the great and gracious night but God pity the Indian's dog. We must look close at life, and not lie to ourselves, because our ways are cushioning a little. All idealism that turns back must suffer the fate of mere sentiments.
You will in them see the true religion, as clearly as you see the sunbeams." Fourth Proposition: The characteristic of the Roman Breviary hymns is to express with lively sentiments and with unction the noble ideas and beautiful sentiments of the supernatural order, in a simple manner, without prosodical pretension, yet having ever a true rhythm which sometimes vies with better compositions.

"And agree to the expression of my most distinguished sentiments, as the French say at the end of a letter," said Beatrice, rising. "And now that I have complimented everybody, and been civil, and pleased everybody, and have been thanked and have taken all the original sin of the party upon my own shoulders, I will go and have a swim before breakfast. Good-bye, mamma. Good-bye, Count."
