When I told you that there was no one else in the world, you believed that I knew she was staying with you that I was trying to persuade you to plead my cause. The anti-climax, after she'd surprised us, was the height of tragical absurdity. It reduced all my high-flown sentiments to farce. I wonder you were able to prevent yourself from laughing.
If the dam had not yielded where Roebuck stood guard, it must have yielded somewhere else, or might have gone all in one grand crash. Monday. You know the story of the artist and his Statue of Grief how he molded the features a hundred times, always failing, always getting an anti-climax, until at last in despair he gave up the impossible and finished the statue with a veil over the face.
Instead of offending my gentleman I had put him on his mettle, and for half an hour he honored me with the most exhaustive inquisition ever elicited from a medical man. His panacea was somewhat in the nature of an anti-climax, but at least it had the merits of simplicity and of common sense. A change of air perfect quiet say a cottage in the country not too near the sea.
"Absurdly inappropriate words," said Westbrook, "presenting an anti-climax plunging the story into hopeless bathos. Worse yet; they mirror life falsely. No human being ever uttered banal colloquialisms when confronted by sudden tragedy." "Wrong," said Dawe, closing his unshaven jaws doggedly. "I say no man or woman ever spouts 'high-falutin' talk when they go up against a real climax.
Say, I sold myself to her as the world's greatest, all around, low down, hideous liar that ever walked in shoe leather. And that's how it started. This divorce today is kind of an anti-climax. We ain't had much to do with each other ever since that confession." Mr. Ludlow stared sorrowfully into the remains of a glass of juniper juice. "I'll never marry again," he moaned.
Their mother, wearing a red wrapper, was standing at the head of the stairs, which Mr. Madison, in his night-shirt and slippers, was slowly and heavily descending. Before he reached the front door, the voice outside ceased its dreadful plaint with the abrupt anti-climax of a phonograph stopped in the middle of a record.
But in your ambition to attach that poor girl to the chariot-wheels of Progress' his voice put the drag of ironic pomposity upon the phrase 'you quite ignore the fact that people fitter for such work, the men you look to enlist in the end, are ready waiting' he pulled himself up in time for an anti-climax 'to give the thing a chance. 'Men are ready! What men? His eyes evaded hers.
And, looking back, it seemed as if in the wild orgy of Pack Monday Fair he had finally burnt the old garments and put on the new. That day had been the funeral pyre of his old life; and, like Sardanapalus, it had died of its own free will. A glorious end; no anti-climax. But the future was still more glorious.
He knew that she, too, had witnessed the tragedy. And the eyes that looked at him were glorious. To John Aldous Joanne's appearance at this moment was like an anti-climax. It plunged him headlong for a single moment into what he believed to be the absurdity of a situation.
No sense of anti-climax could be demanded of the English soldier, whose daily shilling was paid him whether he was in rest-billets, on working-party, or sent into the attack. On the part also of the Artillery less was done than the scheme promised or our attacking Infantry had counted on. By shell-fire the issue of Hill 35 was to have been placed beyond doubt.
