Warrington in high spirits goes up to the ladies, recapitulates the news of Barnes's lecture, recites "How doth the little busy bee," and gives a quasi-satirical comment upon that well-known poem, which bewilders Mrs.
Barker, in doing the right or the clever thing, does it just not quite strongly enough to carry it against opposition. The opposition is the firm and narrow mind of the British playgoer. Such plays as Mr. Barker's are apt to annoy without crushing. The artist, who is yet an imperfect artist, bewilders the world with what is novel in his art; the great artist convinces the world. Mr.
"But, sir, perhaps the best answer to this objection that the bill proposes to make citizens of Chinese and Gypsies, and this reference to the foreigners, is to be found in a speech delivered in this body by a Senator occupying, I think, the seat now occupied across the chamber by my friend from Oregon, [Mr. Williams,] less than six years ago, in reply to a message sent to this body by Mr. Buchanan, the then President of the United States, returning, with his objections, what was known as the Homestead Bill. On that occasion the Senator to whom I allude said: "'But this idea about "poor foreigners," somehow or other, bewilders and haunts the imagination of a great many.
"By the way, you have mentioned Prince Bolaroz the Sixth, but you haven't given a name to the country he ruled." O'Dowd stared. "The Saints preserve us! Is the man a numbskull? Are you saying that you don't know who and what My God, such ignorance bewilders me!" "Painful as it may be to you, O'Dowd, I don't seem able to place Bolaroz in his proper realm." "Whist, then!"
Love is so cruel to some people, I feel as if it would be to me, for I am always in extremes, and continually going wrong while trying to go right. Love bewilders the wisest, and it would make me quite blind or mad, I know; therefore I'd rather have nothing to do with it, for a long, long while." "Then Mark shall be forbidden to bring a single specimen. I very much prefer to keep you as you are.
To so many of them a house has been but a shelter for the night a sleeping-place: if you remember that, you do not wonder at fumbling fingers or impatience with our houses full of trinkets. Our needless tangle of furnishing bewilders those who still think the flowers that grow of themselves in the Irish thatch more beautiful than anything under the cover of our prosaic shingled roofs.
Brought about too it was, indeed, by a sort of miracle which to this moment, when I look back, bewilders me to think of; and if you knew the details, counted the little steps, and could; compare my moral position three years and a half ago with this, you would come to despise San Gualberto's miraculous tree at Vallombrosa, which, being dead, gave out green leaves in recognition of his approach, as testified by the inscription do you remember?
The Sword, though stained in many places with impurities, still glistens with a lustre that bewilders and confuses the senses. The Gown which seems introduced at all only for the purpose of mockery, its representative being invested with all contemptible and unmanly attributes still lies covered with the reproach that has been cast upon it. The moral of such a book is not a good one.
The uniformed official, with his book of rules, only bewilders primitive folk, and arouses their resentment. But it was not only official pedantry which caused trouble with the subject peoples; still more it was the ruthless spirit of mere domination, and the total disregard of native rights, which were displayed by the German administration.
Yet there is sorrow in the world, and it reached Petrarch even before Laura died, when it reached her. This exquisite sonnet shows it: "I' vidi in terra angelici costumi." I once beheld on earth celestial graces, And heavenly beauties scarce to mortals known, Whose memory lends nor joy nor grief alone, But all things else bewilders and effaces.
