But, as you yourself admit, such love ceases to be natural. Society, my dear abhors sterility; but substituting a lasting sentiment for the mere passing frenzy of nature, it has succeeded in creating that greatest of all human inventions the family, which is the enduring basis of all organized society.
"Where am I to get it?" she returned, in a tone of despair. "From the Bridegroom himself," I said. "No," she answered. "I have talked and talked and talked, and you know he says he abhors talkers. I am one of those to whom he will say 'I know you not." "And you will answer him that you have eaten and drunk in his presence, and cast out devils, and ?"
"Our national strife springs not from our permanent part, not from the land we inhabit, not from our national homestead. There is no possible severing of this but would multiply, and not mitigate, evils among us. In all its adaptations and aptitudes it demands union and abhors separation. In fact, it would ere long, force reunion, however much of blood and treasure the separation might have cost."
'Lina asked, and her mother replied: "He thinks you proud, and vain, and artificial, and you know he abhors deceit above all else. Why, he'd cut off his right hand sooner than tell a lie." "Pshaw!" was 'Lina's contemptuous response, then after a moment she continued: "I wonder how we came to be so different. He must be like his father, and I like mine that is, supposing I know who he is.
"The migratory laborers, as a class, are the finished product of an environment which seems cruelly efficient in turning out beings moulded after all the standards society abhors.

Dolores bustled in for a second time and straightway launched herself into a tirade against Juan, the horse-boy. "Devil take me if there was ever such a shameless fellow," she cried, angrily. "He delights in tormenting me, and Dios! he is lazier than a snake. Work? Bah! He abhors it.
He tried it with Adam and Eve, and has tried it on all their descendants ever since, and will try it as long as he `goes about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Oh, boys, remember that `not a sparrow falls to the ground' but God sees it, and that He therefore knows all that you do; and that, though a sin may appear a trifle in your sight, it is not a trifle in God's sight, for He abhors all sin. `He cannot look on iniquity."
Still, I conceive, it remains true of us Florentines that we have more of that magnanimous sobriety which abhors a trivial lavishness that it may be grandly open-handed on grand occasions, than can be found in any other city of Italy; for I understand that the Neapolitan and Milanese courtiers laugh at the scarcity of our plate, and think scorn of our great families for borrowing from each other that furniture of the table at their entertainments.
