Some asterisks occur in a few pages, as they did in the volume of "Posthumous Poems", either because they refer to private concerns, or because the original manuscript was left imperfect.
You understand? The asterisks were a sham there was nothing to leave out.
The arm of one Dan Grady flew out in the gloom and arrested something. Then said Dan 'Mulcahy, you're a great man, an' you do credit to whoever sent you. Walk about a bit while we think of it. Mulcahy departed elate. He knew his words would sink deep. 'Why the triple-dashed asterisks did ye not let me belt him? grunted a voice. 'Because I'm not a fat-headed fool.
To say of the great erratic and forsaken Lady A , after she had accepted the consolations of Bacchus, that her name was properly signified in asterisks 'as she was now nightly an Ariadne in heaven through her God, sounds to us a roundabout, with wit somewhere and fun nowhere. Sitting at the roast we might have thought differently.
The state in which the Giaour appears illustrates the manner in which all Byron's poems were constructed. They are all, like the Giaour, collections of fragments; and, though there may be no empty spaces marked by asterisks, it is still easy to perceive, by the clumsiness of the joining, where the parts for the sake of which the whole was composed end and begin.
I schooled myself all I could, and went into the drawing-room like a boy trying to be good; as a means to which end, I put on as pleasant a face as would come. But my good resolutions were sorely tried. These asterisks indicate the obliteration of the personal description which I had given of her. Though true, it was ill-natured.
Their Forward Officers had passed on the word received from the Asterisks of a sharp attack quickly beaten back that being the natural conclusion drawn from that leaping figure on the parapet and the presence of Germans in the open and the guns kept up a slow rate of fire more with the idea of showing the enemy that the defence was awake and waiting for them than of breaking up another possible attack.
The third was another 'over' and the fourth another 'short' and the Asterisks, unaware of the significance of the closing-in 'bracket' began to feel relief and a trifle of contempt for this clumsy slow-moving and visible missile.
Their letters may be published a hundred times over, they still remain private. They write to each other in a language of their own, an almost exasperatingly impressionist language, a language chiefly consisting of dots and dashes and asterisks and italics, and brackets and notes of interrogation.
She dashed off her description of the Convent kettledrum, and added the paragraphs we know of, each one accentuated by an explosion of asterisks, and gave the blotty sheets to Young Evans, who combined in his sole person the offices of sub-editor, engineer, chief-compositor, feeder, and devil. Then he went back, and fell to tinkering at his machine. Lady Hannah corrected her proof.
