The element of poetry is greater, the element of brutality less, in this form of intoxication than in many others. And the intoxication of hunting is, to my thinking at least, cleaner, wholesomer, than the intoxication of, let us say, certain ways of hearing music.
It is coarse employment for a spirit, but it is higher and wholesomer activity than talking for ever about 'how happy we are. IN the course of the tug-boat gossip, it came out that out of every five of my former friends who had quitted the river, four had chosen farming as an occupation.

The poem was a bit of society verse, with a backward look into simpler and wholesomer experiences. Fulkerson was extremely proud of the number; but he said it was too good too good from every point of view.
Imagine yourself as a sportsman, spear in hand, pursuing the wild V.C. through fire and water, or patiently stalking the wary K.C.B., or laying snares for the gentle C.I.E.; or else as a humble industrious dormouse lining a warm nest for the winter of your life in Bath or Tunbridge Wells; or as a gay butterfly flitting from flower to flower while the sunshine of your brief day may last; or simply as a prisoner toiling at the treadmill because you must: the well in the garden is a pleasanter conception than all these and wholesomer.

Sanford found her new life wholesomer and broader than her old life, and the pain of her loss grew less poignant. One day in spring, in the lazy, odorous hush of the afternoon, the usual number of loafers were standing on the platform, waiting for the train. The sun was going down the slope toward the hills, through a warm April haze. "Hello!" exclaimed the man who always sees things first.
A far wholesomer frame of mind is that of the philosopher who said, when complimented on the mellowness that advancing years had brought him, that he still reserved to himself the right of damning things in general.
