I commiserate the venerable citizen disappointed of the pleasure of driving my Lady Geraldine home from the wash as well as hisself. She was past even appreciating the bathos. 'It is no laughing matter, she said; 'it is so uncivil, when he is so kind. I can't imagine what Felix is thinking of?
As a genius of the highest rank observes in his fifth chapter of the Bathos, "The great art of all poetry is to mix truth with fiction, in order to join the credible with the surprizing."
The technical effect of Shaw's scheme is like the same scene, in which a crowd should carry even more gigantic shapes of shield and helmet, but when the horns and howls were at their highest, should end with the figure of Little Tich. The name itself is meant to be a bathos; arms and the man.
His muse belongs to that numerous class of females who have no objection to be dirty, while they can be tawdry. When his brilliant conceits are exhausted, he supplies their place with metaphysical quibbles, forced antitheses, bad puns, and execrable charades. In his fifth sonnet he may, I think, be said to have sounded the lowest chasm of the Bathos.
And there, where the torrent splits up into a score of insignificant streams, we grounded and crawled to dry land and sat down and laughed. "Yes, we could do it we could laugh. Is that not bathos? But Fidèle and I have a theory that laughter is the chief earnest of immortality. "To dry land I have said. Mon Dieu! the torrent was no wetter. It rains in the Chamounix valley.
The commonplace remark saved the situation from bathos, as I am now certain shrewd old Yank knew it would. "What are you going to do with your shares, boys?" asked Talbot after a while. "Going back home, or mining? Speak up, Yank." Yank spat accurately out the open window. "I've been figgering," he replied. "And when you come right down to it, what's the use of going back?
This specimen of the bathos, this instance of perfection in the art of sinking, as it has been described to be, had its effect; and the Congress separated without determining in favour of any joint operation of a hostile character against Spain. Sir, it is as true in politics as in mechanics, that the test of skill and of success is to achieve the greatest purpose with the least power.
"I thought," she said, "when I received the message, that I was going to be buried under a bathos of thanks, or else have my gift declined with the expectation that I would gush over the disinterestedness of the refusal. Since I couldn't well avoid seeing him, I was quite prepared to snub him, or to take back the money without a word. But he wasn't a bit that kind of creature.
The adult male person is not so much shocked at the coarseness of this story as astounded at the bathos of its introduction.
"If every word you say were true, yet with all the more reason would I drag you in my marriage procession, and force you to avow yourself my wife. Never have I been balked of woman; and you, too, with all your tragic bathos, shall learn that, if you won't have me for a slave, I'll bow your neck to my yoke."
