We had made many similar journeys together, but the Danube, more than any other river I knew, impressed us from the very beginning with its aliveness.
He got to his feet with a vigorous precision of movement which the other admired. "Well, he's grown to be considerable of a man," he thought to himself. "A pity his father couldn't have lived to see it, all that aliveness that had bothered them so much, down at last where he's got his grip on it.
I often wonder whether she has got out of it into the light whether we can rescue her." Mrs. Maturin paused. "What do you mean?" Insall asked. "Well, it's difficult to describe, what I feel she's such a perplexing mixture of old New England and modernity, of a fatalism, and an aliveness that fairly vibrates.
She saw every point wherein he fell short of the men of her class the sort of men she ought to like and admire. But, oh, how dull and stale and narrow and petty they were, beside this man. She knew now why she had fled. She didn't want to love Victor Dorn, or to marry him or his sort of man. But he, his intense aliveness, his keen, supple mind, had spoiled her for those others.

She sank on her knees beside his bed, realizing dimly how great a crown his love had been.
We are thus philosophically led to the conclusion that Universal Substance must be projected by Universal Spirit as a necessary consequence of Spirit's own inherent feeling of Aliveness; and in this way we find that the great Primary Polarity of Being becomes established. From this point onward we shall find the principle of Polarity in universal activity.
For the variety, truth, and aliveness of his characters he has probably no equal since Shakespeare, and though, of course, coming far behind, he resembles him alike in his range and in his insight. The most remarkable feature in his character is the union of an imagination of the first order with practical sagacity and manly sanity, in this also resembling his great predecessor.
