It used to be a piece of good advice to all young writers to avoid alliteration; and the advice was sound, in so far as it prevented daubing. None the less for that, was it abominable nonsense, and the mere raving of those blindest of the blind who will not see. The beauty of the contents of a phrase, or of a sentence, depends implicitly upon alliteration and upon assonance.
Strange prejudice and intoxication of some men, not to acknowledge a most intelligent cause, from which we derive all intelligence; and rather choose to affirm that the purest reason is but the effect of the blindest of all causes in such a subject as matter, which of itself is altogether incapable of knowledge!
The throne of the Almohades, or Unitarians, was founded on the blindest fanaticism, and their extraordinary rigor might be provoked or justified by the recent victories and intolerant zeal of the princes of Sicily and Castille, of Arragon and Portugal.
And he went off on two legs, precisely like a dashing little commercial traveller. And, escorted by the equivocal Angel of Eclipses, she had turned into King Street, and arranged her face, and courageously met her mother. Her mother had not at first perceived the unusual; for mothers, despite their reputation to the contrary, really are the blindest creatures.
If Mr. In fact, his admiration we had almost said fanaticism for Cromwell betrays him throughout into the blindest inconsistencies. The second vision of Mr. Macaulay is, if possible, still more absurd. He imagines a Cromwell dynasty! If it had not been for Monk and his army, the rest of the nation would have been loyal to the son of the illustrious Oliver.
By my old father's memory, I'd rather be the blindest mole that ever skulked in darkness, the lord of one poor hole, where he might say, 'I'm master here. "2d Dev. You are too hot where shall concord be found, if even the devils disagree? Come fill the glass, and add thy harmony while we have wine to enlighten us, the sun be hanged!
Wardrop said, "She didn't hit anything." As soon as the last bolt was in place, men tumbled over one another in their anxiety to get to the hand starting-gear, the wheel and worm, by which some engines can be moved when there is no steam aboard. They nearly wrenched off the wheel, but it was evident to the blindest eye that the engines stirred.
"Yes, yes. 'Make alliances, and leave me to my business! One knows it all so well. But, mind you, even to the blindest of them, the invasion has meant something." "And the income-tax will mean something to 'em, too," said Sir Morell Strachey. "Yes. But the English purse is deep, and the Englishman has long years of money-spinning freedom from discipline behind him.
A paragraph in the morning paper announced the sudden death of Doctor Lombard, the distinguished English dilettante who had long resided in Siena. Wyant's justification was complete. Our blindest impulses become evidence of perspicacity when they fall in with the course of events.
Surely, sir, you know me too well to believe that I would let love were it the blindest, most absorbing passion woman ever felt lead me into sin so base as that you would urge. The vilest wanton at Whitehall would shrink from stealing a sister's husband." "There would be no theft. Your sister flings me to you as a dog drops the bone he has picked dry.
