At Hagia Triada and Gournia the older forms of vase are mingled with early specimens of the type variously known as 'Bügelkanne, 'Vases
To produce these alternations of fullness and exhaustion the relative operation of abundant or unfruitful seasons, the regulations of foreign governments, political revolutions, the prosperous or decaying condition of manufactures, commercial speculations, and many other causes, not always to be traced, variously combine.
Thickly and evenly distributed, they appeared to the vision ranging over the brown level expanse as minute animated and variously coloured clods black and brown and grey and yellow and olive-green.
Another force the force clerical the power of clerks, arises; the might of educated mind measuring itself against brute violence; a force embodied, as often before, as priestcraft the strength of priests: craft meaning, simply, strength, in our old mother-tongue. This great force, too, develops itself variously, being sometimes beneficent, sometimes malignant.
He was not, he himself admitted later, "a Sunday-school cadet," his record for behavior being 124 in the Academy standard not so very far from the foot. But Grant, it must be remembered, ranked even lower in his behavior record, standing at 149. The twenty years that followed Sherman's graduation from West Point were variously spent.
Our land is wasted by the sea; and there is also a natural progress to be observed which necessarily takes place on this occasion; for, the coast is found variously indented, that is to say, more or less, according as the land is exposed to this wasting and wearing operation of the sea, and according as the wasted land is composed of parts resisting with different degrees of power the destroying cause.
Both rabbits are very rare, and probably both turn white in winter. I have seen specimens of the snowshoe rabbit taken in winter that are pure white. On the wildest and most desolate peaks and rock piles is found the cony or pika or "rock rabbit" as it is variously called. It is small, only six inches or so in length, tailless but with large round ears and soft grayish fur like a rabbit's.
His loving family minus Tilly and Jacky, who were abed encircled the table, variously employed; and George stood at his elbow, fastening up a pair of bookshelves of primitive construction, coupled together by means of green cord. While thus domestically employed, they heard a loud, steady thumping outside. The Sudberrys were well acquainted by this time with that sound and its cause.
Such is the usual motif; but the incident has been variously treated in the earlier and ruder examples, with a ludicrous want of dignity; for Joachim is almost tumbling down the steps of the temple to avoid the box on the ear which Issachar the priest is in the act of bestowing in a most energetic fashion. Joachim turns away, with his lamb in his arms, repulsed, but gently, by the priest.
But so much is evident: the House of Lords, for its own members, attains this object; it gives them a voice, it gives them what no competing plan does give them POSITION. The leisured members of the Cabinet speak in the Lords with authority and power. Life peers would enable us to use this faculty of our Constitution more freely and more variously.
