If he be rich, who is wise, and a good shoemaker, and alone handsome, and a king, why do you wish for that which you are possessed of? How so? O greatest of great kings, the waggish boys pluck you by the beard; whom unless you restrain with your staff, you will be jostled by a mob all about you, and you may wretchedly bark and burst your lungs in vain.
'That is the sound grief, with hope at the core not in love with itself and wretchedly mortal, as we find self is under every shape it takes; especially the chief one. 'Name it. 'It is best named Amor. There was a writhing in the frame of the hearer, for she did want Love to be respected; not shadowed by her misfortune.
Kate had such pretty hands; long taper fingers, rounded to the tiniest rosy points; no dimples, but full muscles, firm and exquisitely moulded; and the dainty way in which she handled her men was half the game to me; I lost it; I played wretchedly. The next day Kate went with me to see the turkeys; so she did the day after.
Casaubon had so severely repulsed Dorothea's strong feeling about his claims on the family property, by her being convinced that she was in the right and her husband in the wrong, but that she was helpless. This afternoon the helplessness was more wretchedly benumbing than ever: she longed for objects who could be dear to her, and to whom she could be dear.
"Even if I reached a desert island," Kirk thought mournfully, "I don't know what I'd do. People catch turkles and shoot at parrots and things, but they can see what they're doing." The boat rolled on, and Kirk began to feel quite wretchedly sick, and thirstier than ever. He lay flat under the tarpaulin and tried to count minutes. Sixty, quite fast that was one minute.
The law was satisfied, and, said Lord St. Vincent at the moment, perhaps one of the greatest of his life, 'Discipline is preserved, sir!" Again a year later, in May, 1799, when twenty-five French ships-of-the-line broke through the wretchedly inefficient guard at that time kept before Brest, and entered the Mediterranean, a reinforcement of over a dozen was sent from the Channel to Lord St.
"But who brought her away?" asked the commissioner. Again Stafford shook his head. "For some reason or other she is reticent and will give no information at all. It is evident she has been drugged, for she looks wretchedly ill of course, I haven't pressed her for particulars." "It is a strange story," said the commissioner.
Their worship was not paid to the demon which such a being as they imagined would really be, but to their own ideal of excellence. The evil is, that such a belief keeps the ideal wretchedly low; and opposes the most obstinate resistance to all thought which has a tendency to raise it higher.
'I have loved you from the first. 'How is that possible? he urged. 'What is there lovable in me? I am afraid of waking up and finding myself in my old garret, cold and hungry. 'You will be a great man. 'I implore you not to count on that! In many ways I am wretchedly weak. I have no such confidence in myself. 'Then I will have confidence for both.
The peasants of France live simply, and save, the peasants of England live wretchedly, and waste! Voila la difference! As with nations, so with individuals, it is all a question of Will. 'Where there's a will there's a way, is a dreadfully trite copybook maxim, but it's amazingly true all the same.
