Wild, however, again took the lead, and it was largely due to him that the party eventually saw the ship looming through the whirl of snow. 'It is little wonder that after such an experience they should have been, as I have mentioned, both excited and tired. The hours following the departure of Armitage and his search party on this fatal night were unforgettable.
He did not remember leaving the place, but found the cool night air fanning fresh upon his face as he lurched blindly down the dark street, within his eyes the picture of a scowling, black-browed visage; in his ears that hoarse, unforgettable command, "Silenzio!"
And from the thoughts of the beautiful girl his mind flew back as if instinctively to that strange phase of his life those unforgettable days in Judæa which had seemed like unto the turning point of his whole existence.
I had many of these unforgettable emotions the profound horror of Don Balthasar's death; the first floating of the boat, like the opening of wings in space; the first fluttering of the flames in the fog many others afterwards, more cruel, more terrible, with a terror worse than death, in which the very suffering was lost; and also this this moment of elation in the clear morning, as if the universe had shed its glory upon my feelings as the sunshine glorifies the sea.
"To think that they are still here after a whole year since this happened!" a young Frenchman exclaimed in bitterness of soul as we looked out over the thickly scattered graves in the fields around Bercy. To him it was as if a crazed and drunken marauder had taken possession of his house, burned a part of it, and still caroused in another wing. The unforgettable, unforgivable wounds of France!

Good sense, good feeling, good taste, these qualities, latent from the first in Horace, have obtained a final mastery over the coarser strain with which they had at first been mingled; and in their shadow now appear glimpses of an inner nature even more rare, from which only now and then he lifts the veil with a sort of delicate self-depreciation, in an occasional line of sonorous rhythm, or in some light touch by which he gives a glimpse into a more magical view of life and nature: the earliest swallow of spring on the coast, the mellow autumn sunshine on a Sabine coppice, the everlasting sound of a talking brook; or, again, the unforgettable phrases, the fallentis semita vitae, or quod petis hic est, or ire tamen restat, that have, to so many minds in so many ages, been key-words to the whole of life.
Think of the lovely little poem in which Tennyson eulogised the incongruous facade of Milan Cathedral. And for any one who with Wordsworth's exquisite sonnet on King's College Chapel in his mind has the misfortune to enter that long tunnel, beplastered with false ornament, the disillusion is unforgettable. Robert Browning presents a highly instructive example of the poet as critic.
Well-nigh before I knew whether I were sleeping or waking, I was out of bed and at the window. It was the light of sunrise, shining over a billowy white world, for the fog had been rent asunder, and through its torn, woolly folds, I caught an unforgettable glimpse of glory.
'The arrangement of a room has a great deal of influence on the morale of the wounded, a doctor said to me. All this delights me! "I have finished, but I shall think for a long time of this journey which has left in my memory unforgettable sights and in my heart very tender impressions.
