For all its airiness, his verse was thrown off by a mind no stranger to thought and research. We are now on the threshold of Shelley's poetic achievement, and it will be well before going further to underline the connection, which persists all through his work and is already so striking in 'Queen Mab', between his poetry and his philosophical and religious ideas.
She waited until he was wholly finished. "I am not the sort of wife you want," she said, with an attempt of airiness. He answered roughly, "I am the judge of that." And his roughness was a pleasure to her, yet it made her afraid of herself.
His address was infatuating: but there was a certain airiness, indicative of vanity, that revealed his great characteristic. He loved applause, and to obtain it had frittered away his fine abilities, upon petty, splendid, momentary triumphs. He was generous to folly, and, I have no doubt, maintained his whole staff.
The bird can of its nature go upwards, because fragility is force. In perfect force there is a kind of frivolity, an airiness that can maintain itself in the air. Modern investigators of miraculous history have solemnly admitted that a characteristic of the great saints is their power of "levitation." They might go further; a characteristic of the great saints is their power of levity.
Very Teutonic also is the airiness and grace of "Rosebud." To that delightful collection of children's songs, "The St. All of his lyrics are delicious, and "I Had a Little Pony" should become a nursery classic. In his "Lord God, Hear My Prayer," Bartlett throws down the gauntlet to the Bach-Gounod "Ave Maria," with results rather disastrous.

He was hardly going to discuss what Ted might or might not owe him with Mrs. Severance. Hardly. "No, I suppose you wouldn't," she said uncannily. Then she spoke again and this time if the tone was airy it was with the airiness of a defeated swordsman apologizing for having been killed by such a clumsy stroke of fence. "But I have some comprehension of just what you did.
Next to the airiness of the house, which stood high above reach of the valley mists with their malaria, what most sharply impressed me, and the ladies in particular, was its exquisite cleanliness. Yet Dr. Beauregard assured us that he kept but one servant the negress Rosa.
"The Partition Treaty and the needs of the Great Alliance call for the breeding of them. You will marry?" "My house is an old one," replied Roxholm, "and if I live I shall be its chief." My lord cast a glance about the apartment. It was a gala day and there were many lovely creatures near, laughing, conversing, coquetting, bearing themselves with dignity, airiness, or sweet grace.
The suffering on my father's face was terrible to see. Tears began to flow from his fixed eyes. I tried to calm him. "Do come about, father! it's over time!" "We'll go on a while yet," he said with a ghastly affected airiness, and I sat there with the blood freezing in my veins, fearing he was going mad. All at once he burst out again.
