But you are such a land-louper, you ought to blazon two hairy worms saltier-wise." "I don't understand." "Why, your name, interpreted to half an ear, is just PILGRIM PILGRIM!" "I wonder if my father meant it!" "That I cannot even guess at, not having the pleasure of knowing your father. But it does look like a paternal joke!"
'I felt curiously attracted by the old church and the tomb within, so I went across after leaving you and wandered about the churchyard. Close beside the corner of the north transept was the empty grave, as you know, and beside it a quaint old headstone with an interesting coat-of-arms upon it. I knelt down and tried to decipher the blazon in the moonlight.
'Fame! fame! next grandest word to God! ... so wrote one of your craft, and no doubt you echo the sentiment! Have you not desired to blazon your name on the open scroll of the world? Well! ... now you can have your wish the world waits to receive your signature!" "That is all very well!" and Alwyn smiled rather dubiously as he glanced at the manuscript on the table beside him.
Oh, fame! Oh, blazon of renown! Oh, glory of this earth!
So monotonous was the chaunt, that its effect soon became visible in a general drowsiness. "A comforting and salutary recital, Count William," said the King. The Duke started from his reverie, and bowed his head: then said, rather abruptly, "Is not yon blazon that of King Alfred?" "Yea. Wherefore?" "Hem!

Events, not books, should be forbid.
"Joan, my frank, honest General, will you name your reward? I would ennoble you. You shall quarter the crown and the lilies of France for blazon, and with them your victorious sword to defend them speak the word." It made an eager buzz of surprise and envy in the assemblage, but Joan shook her head and said: "Ah, I cannot, dear and noble Dauphin.

The Duke Saint-Simon says, in speaking of magistrates, "people of that class."
Properly speaking, we should already at this date allude to him as the ci-devant Marquis de La Tour d'Azyr, for the time was September of 1790, two months after the passing on the motion of that downright Breton leveller, Le Chapelier of the decree that nobility should no more be hereditary than infamy; that just as the brand of the gallows must not defile the possibly worthy descendants of one who had been convicted of evil, neither should the blazon advertising achievement glorify the possibly unworthy descendants of one who had proved himself good.
