At Vitrimont the great dream of Christianity the City of God on earth seems still reasonable. At Hérémenil, and Gerbéviller, we are within sight and hearing of deeds that befoul the human name, and make one despair of a world in which they can happen.
He rose, seized a knotted stick, the symbol of the Christian faith, and left his cell, carefully closing the door, lest the animals of the desert and the birds of the air should enter, and befoul the copy of the Holy Scriptures which stood at the head of his bed.
Provide that some fair woman of the city show her face, and then let him depart in peace, showing him friendship. He shall not know he hath not seen the beauty he would befoul." After consultation, no better way could be found; but the heart of the great Lady was heavy with foreboding. To Allah-u-Din therefore did the King dispatch this letter by swift riders on mares of Mewar.
You are simply a fragment of worthless political seaweed cast with flabby jelly fish and dead sting rays upon an inhospitable shore, there to rot and befoul the atmosphere. You have "a very ancient and fishlike smell, a smell not of the newest." You may howl a lung out, but will only evoke laughter or disgust.
"Never! Pamphlets befoul those who write them much more than those against whom they are written. M. Colbert, I thank you. You can leave now. Do not forget the hour I have fixed, and be there yourself." "Sire, I await your majesty's list." "True," returned the king; and he began to meditate; he had not thought of the list in the least. The clock struck half-past eleven.
However some may try to analyse man's love for woman, to explain it, or explain it away, belittle it, nay, even resent and befoul it, it remains an unaccountable phenomenon, a "mystery we make darker with a name." Biology, cynically pointing at certain of its processes, makes the miracle rather more miraculous than otherwise. Musical instruments are no explanation of music.
Thinks he knows the world, from having sifted and sorted a lot of our dustbins; as the modern Realists imagine it's an exposition of positive human nature when they've pulled down our noses to the worst parts if there's a worse where all are useful: but the Realism of the dogs is to have us by the nose: excite it and befoul it, and you're fearfully credible!
"I've told you again and again," he retorted, "that I'm not yielding a cent on the Hilmer business." "It isn't that," was the reply. "Kendrick knows better than to stir up a situation he's helped to befoul himself... No, it's another matter." Fred shrugged and changed the subject, but his thoughts flew at once to Brauer.
God forgive me, I was about to befoul the very salt I eat. I'll not be disloyal." "But, Andrew dear, don't you know I wouldn't dare breathe it to anyone but you?" "I don't know how much you'd dare. At any rate, I'll excuse you from breathing it to me, for I'm not interested. I know it isn't true."
So wise, so brave, so loyal to his word, that even those whom he, at his country's call, has had to crush, lift their hats reverently at the mention of his name, because he wears upon his hero soul the white flower of a blameless life. Would Kitchener, whose dread name strikes terror to the heart of every burgher, would he befoul his foeman's fame?
