Above him, falling upon him like a bolt from the blue, was a winged hawk unthinkably vaster than the one he had encountered. But in his crouch was no hint of cower. His crouch was a gathering together, an assembling of all the parts of him under the rule of the spirit of him, for the spring upward to meet in mid career this monstrous, menacing thing.

For from every special eminence and beyond every sublime landmark, it is good for our souls to see only vaster and vaster visions of that dizzy and divine level; and to behold from our crumbling turrets the tall plains of equality. The Chorus One of the most marked instances of the decline of true popular sympathy is the gradual disappearance in our time of the habit of singing in chorus.

Clever sketches by clever unknowns, rest beside sprawling frescos by youths whose ambition is vaster than their genius; and finished and accomplished works of art are set off by the foils of unnumbered pieces of unformed and not very promising mediocrity.

Our vision offers phenomena not less curious, and an infinitely vaster field of research. Experience has proved, for example, that some people are absolutely blind to certain colours, as red, and enjoy perfect vision relatively to yellow, to green, and to blue.

It was true. Greater than he suspected. The horror of what might have happened, the splendour of what did happen, mingle in the awed mind as you look over the city from the balcony. The city escaped. And the event seems vaster and more sublime than the mind can bear. The streets of Paris have now a perpetual aspect of Sunday morning; only the sound of church-bells is lacking.

We have dreamed, too, of an organization that would work ceaselessly to make Americans know that the so-called 'Negro problem' is simply one phase of the vaster problem of democracy in America, and that those who wish freedom and justice for their country must wish it for every black citizen.

Vaster even than ever, so it appeared now, demanding greater sacrifices than she had dreamed of.

"And that 'something higher, vaster, purer and better' would you call it the Church of Rome?" asked Walden. "In suggestion, in emotion and poetic inspiration, yes!" said Brent "In theory and in practice, no!" There was a pause. Walden sat for a few moments absorbed in anxious thought. Then he looked up with a cheerful air. "Harry," he said "Will you do me a favour?

With the cessation of the feeding, began the vaster, unquenchable feeding of the engulfing plants. It was steady, monotonous, inexhaustible the winking and waving of the blue-green glows, the clustering of the senseless prey, a sudden extinguishing of the light, devouring then the nodding gleam again. No mercy, no feeling, no reason existed in this ghost-region of bleached and bloodless things.

Great Grimsby is not only the centre of a vast distributing trade in coal and lumber, but of a still vaster trade in fish. It cuts one's pride, if one has believed that Gloucester, Massachusetts, is the greatest fishing port in the world, to learn that Grimsby, with a hundred more fishing sail, is only "one of the principal fishing ports" of the United Kingdom.
