What could be a simpler or easier deduction from this circumstance, than that Our Lady’s Effigy, taking pity on its affrighted suppliants, had with its own hands pushed back the advancing mass of lava, and thus saved the town!
In his poem, A Funeral Elegy, he shows these qualities in characterizing a fair young lady as: "One whose clear body was so pure and thin, Because it need disguise no thought within; 'Twas but a through-light scarf her mind to enroll, Or exhalation breathed out from her soul." The idea in Shakespeare's simpler expression, "the heavenly rhetoric of thine eye," was expanded by Donne into:
"Yes, it's simpler than I supposed," I admitted, "but it doesn't seem quite an every-day thing to sell the Balaklava Coronal to anybody under Brush's nose." "It's easier than you think," echoed Vogelstein. "You don't know Morrison. Hope he'll look in to-night. You ought to meet him." My last bolt was shot. It was my turn to sit silent and drink.
I am lost in admiration of your oratory: really, Bob, I didn't think it was in you. But you said all this, in simpler language, last night." I saw I had overshot the mark: when he takes that tone, you are nowhere. "Jim," I said, "let's be serious. Begin where we left off, then.

Now, poetical people like Francis Thompson will, as things stand, tend away from secular society and towards religion for the reason above described: that there are crowds of symbols in both, but that those of religion are simpler and mean more.
I think I should like to transfer the money to you before I go. It is simpler, better. Will you let me do that, Mrs. Mutimer? His words chilled her. His voice seemed harder as he proceeded; it had the ring of metal, of hard cash counted down. What was his object? He wished to have done with her, to utterly abolish all relations between them.
Her quest was a place where the minister said his prayers and did not read them out of a book: she had been brought up a Presbyterian, and had prejudices in favour of what she took for the simpler form of worship. Nor had she gone much farther before she came upon a chapel which seemed to promise all she wanted. She entered, and a sad looking woman showed her to a seat.
Both include the denial that species are primordial, or have each a different origin; and both imply that one species is formed out of another and simpler form. Professor Owen, however, although a derivationist, or evolutionist, is a very strenuous anti-Darwinian. He differs from Darwin as to two points. First, as to Natural Selection, or the Survival of the Fittest.
"I do not think it was exactly to be expected," answered Dolores, in some surprise, and wondering whether there could have been any simpler way of getting what she had obtained by such extraordinary means. "He might have been kept under arrest until to-morrow morning, I suppose," said the Princess quietly.
