This work of reform must, of course, be primarily economic, but economic remedies cannot be applied to Irish ills without the spiritual aids which are required to move to action the latent forces of Irish reason and emotion. The task which we have to face is, then, a two-sided one, but its economic and its purely practical aspects first demand consideration.
It would be interesting to try and work out to what extent that part of the zoological kingdom which boasts a two-sided structure is divided into right-handed and left-handed animals. Can dissymetry, that source of contrasts, be a general rule? Or are there neutrals, endowed with equal powers of skill and energy on both sides? Yes, there are; and the Spider is one of them.
This emotional power, this distinctively psychical force, is the cause of "hunger and thirst," the psychical hunger and thirst for sensations, which is the source of our two-sided life of emotionalism, with its hopes and fears, its expectations and memories, its desires and hates.
If I have dwelt at what may appear to be a disproportionate length upon the Irishman's peculiar conception of a home, it is because this difficulty, which Irish social and economic reformers still encounter, and with which they must deal sympathetically if they are to succeed in the work of national regeneration, strikingly illustrates the two-sided character of the Irish Question and the never-to-be-forgotten inter-dependence of the sentimental and the practical in Ireland.
"Now I'm ready to put this superb article together," announced Roger. "How high from the ground does the seat go?" "Nail your cleats across with their top edges fifteen inches from the ground and nail the bottom of the box on to the cleats. See how these two-sided legs protect the edges of the box as well as make it decent looking?" "So they do," admitted Roger. "They aren't so bad after all."
And apart from the Church's explanation of this great Mystery, we may take it as a lesson that misfortune is like everything else, two-sided; it falls equally upon the ungodly and the godly, with merely this difference that when it falls on the ungodly it is, as we are reluctantly forced to admit, 'the act of God' but when it falls on the godly, it is generally the proved and evident work of Man.
For, to begin with, in leaving the constitution of the House of Lords unaltered it provides a one-sided check, operating only on democratic measures which in any case have to run the gauntlet of the permanent officials, the judges, the Press, and Society. For permanent use the brake must be two-sided.
If carried out correctly, the back of the material should show a row of short perpendicular lines, each composed of two threads. Two-sided Italian stitch is descriptively named, for it is alike on both sides. This is frequently seen on XVIth and XVIIth century Italian linen work, similar to that mentioned above.
We outstripped her; and as we passed a position where the Confederates were believed to be fortifying, our captain threw in a half-dozen shells. No reply was made, and we went on. Within a half-hour we heard firing behind us, apparently two-sided. The ship was turned round and headed up-river.
"And well he might, for the boy was wonderfully bright and beautiful. He doted on his father." Dolly was silent. Saunders saw her white throat throbbing. "It is bound to produce a change in him," she said." It will either kill him or regenerate him. He has a queer nature. He is a two-sided man. All his life he has been tossed back and forth between good and bad impulses.
