But as a rule the poet does his own sinning and suffering, and catches for himself that haunting sense of the glory and futility of life which is the undertone of the modern poet's song, and which finds such magical expression in Heine's verses: I have loved, oh, many a maiden kind, And many a right good fellow, Where are they all? So pipes the wind, So foams and wanders the billow.
Her gentle reproofs were a sort of luxury to him; he had a delight in sinning, in order to deserve them; and then, whilst listening to them, how gladly would he have pressed her dress, or her white and beautiful hand to his lips; there was even a sort of painfully agreeable sensation to him in his not daring to do so.
Yes, I say strength. I was rent by the tumult within me, but I had strength. I have it now. For, despite his hypocrisy, his unbelief, his active sinning, Marcus Harding had been a strong man. And even Henry Chichester, with all his humbleness, his readiness to yield to others, to think nothing of himself, had had the strength that belongs to purity of soul.
A. By a firm purpose of sinning no more I mean a fixed resolve not only to avoid all mortal sin, but also its near occasions. "Fixed." Not for a certain time, but for all the future. 207 Q. What do you mean by the near occasions of sin? A. By the near occasions of sin I mean all the persons, places and things that may easily lead us into sin. "Occasions." There are many kinds of occasions of sin.
When Sister Penchang, the pious old woman in whose service Juli had entered, learned of it, she ejaculated several 'Susmarioseps, crossed herself, and remarked, "Often God sends these trials because we are sinners or have sinning relatives, to whom we should have taught piety and we haven't done so." Those sinning relatives referred to Juliana, for to this pious woman Juli was a great sinner.
O wicked cannibal, approach me first without loss of time. Smite me first, it behoveth thee not to kill a woman, especially when she hath been sinned against instead of sinning. This girl is scarcely responsible for her act in desiring intercourse with me. She hath, in this, been moved by the deity of desire that pervadeth every living form.
Once entrance gained and a free hand given, there is no telling the result. Once seated and secure, the passion seeks to satisfy itself; that is its business. Certain means are required to this end, and these means can be procured only by sinning. Obstacles often stand in the way and new sins furnish steps to vault over, or implements to batter them down.
He would not be taught, nor understand; neither God's threats nor mercies could move him; he went on sinning against light and knowledge; and now his cup was full his days were numbered, and God's vengeance was ready at the door. He consulted all his false prophets as to whether or not he should go to attack the Syrians at Ramoth-Gilead.
There was a little shade of weariness in the voice. "Not suit every one!" said Tant Sannie. "If the beloved Redeemer didn't mean men to have wives what did He make women for? That's what I say. If a woman's old enough to marry, and doesn't, she's sinning against the Lord it's a wanting to know better than Him. What, does she think the Lord took all that trouble in making her for nothing?
"What!" exclaimed Angut, who had listened to the conversation with intense interest; "would it be good for you if I killed you?" "Of course it would, if God allowed it. Thousands of men and women in time past have chosen to be killed rather than offend God by sinning." "This is very strange teaching," said Angut, glancing at his friend Okiok. "It is the teaching of Jesus, the Son of God.
