Julian, do you wonder that, of all the aspects of the horrible mess you called civilization in the nineteenth century, the sexual relation reeks worst?" "Our philanthropists were greatly disturbed over what we called the social evil," said I "that is, the existence of this great multitude of outcast women but it was not common to diagnose it as a part of the economic problem.
That there were other aspects of it she should soon see, with a certain definiteness, the cold outlines of which already made his mouth stern, and sent little lines to wrinkle his forehead. He had spared her hitherto had hoped to keep on sparing her yet she had not spared Winifred! But who had prompted her to this heartless deed? He loved his mother.
There are two things in my text a misplaced question and a triumphant answer: 'What shall we do for the hundred talents? 'The Lord is able to give thee much more than this. Now, remarkably enough, both question and answer may be either very right or very wrong, according as they are taken, and I purpose to look at those two aspects of each. I. A misplaced question.
To their brief but noble roll, I would also add one name, and one brief set of speeches or essays that hardly made a book, but to which Lord Morley himself, at all events, would not be likely to take exception.

A man is not unconscious when he is asleep, as dreams testify. He meant, above all, if sleep, then waking. So the grim fact is smoothed down, not by blinking any of its aspects, but by looking deeper into them.
And again: "An unbiased consideration of its general aspects forces us to conclude that religion, everywhere present as a weft running through the warp of human history, expresses some eternal fact."
The art of Flaubert gives at any rate a perfectly definite standard; there is no mistaking or mis-reading it. He is not of those who present many aspects, offering the support of one or other to different critical doctrines; Flaubert has only one word to say, and it is impossible to find more than a single meaning in it.
It was a fine, handsome political dream, and as such worthy of every courtesy and consideration but it was only a political dream in its ultimate aspects, and as such impressed the participants themselves at times. The campaign was now in full blast. The newspapers honked and bellowed, as is the way with those profit-appointed advocates and guardians of "right" and "justice."
