In youth that face had possessed a Greek serenity and blitheness, dependent perhaps on its clear aquiline feature, the steady transparent eyes coeli lucida templa the fresh fairness of the complexion, and the boyish brow under its arch of pale brown hair.
"Don't linger here too late it is an unwholesome spot," said Mr. Carnegie, warning him as he rode on. Little Christie set up his white umbrella in the sun, and kings might have envied him. "My mother is better, but call and see her," he cried after the doctor; this amendment was one cause of the artist's blitheness.
So lonely was it, so plunged in a ground-bass of silence; so much too big and permanent for any figure of man. Across and across the brown loam the laborer doggedly finished out his task; scattered the few last seeds into a corner, and stood still. Thrushes and blackbirds were just beginning that even-song whose blitheness, as nothing else on earth, seems to promise youth forever to the land.
At a gesture he waited for him, waited until he came, and, taking him by the arm, led him to a great settee in a dark corner. Seaman had lost his usual blitheness. The good-humoured smile played no longer about his lips. "Where is Lady Dominey?" he asked. "In my room, waiting until her own is prepared." Seaman's manner was unusually grave.
But she should have endured in silence things to be held as far away from Elsie's joyousness and Elsie's youth as the deep undercurrent of her character was apart from the bird-like blitheness which made the girl so pleasant. Thus the world would have judged had they seen these women standing there together.
He might have made them by such folly Most musical, most melancholy. No one can dip into the Doctor without being convinced of this buoyancy of spirit, quickness of fancy, and blitheness of heart. It even vents its exuberance in bubbles of levity and elaborate trifling, so that all but the very light-hearted are fain to say: Something too much of this.
"I have stood by you like a true friend in this affair; is it not so?" "Indeed; do I deny it?" she answered half scornfully. "As I shall stand by you always when the need arises. You are a little in my debt concerning Monsieur de Garnache." "I I realize it," said she, and she felt again as if the sunshine were gone from the day, the blitheness from her heart.
In The Death of Hippolytus there is something of the aloofness, the blitheness, the thrust of phrases, the grimness, the sedateness which we associate with Greek drama. If he has little of the passion or fluency of Swinburne, he has some of his phrase-making skill, and he is free from that rhythmical lilt which in Swinburne was often excessive.
To-morrow it will be four." "And Sabbath, it will be seven. A long time, a long time!" The Maccabee turned and went back to the khan. A gap in the hills had hidden the girl in the silver tissue, and the blitheness of the Maccabee's spirit had gone with her. By sunset, the Maccabee and Julian of Ephesus had taken the road to Jerusalem again.
What is rather the duty of all who love what is noble and beautiful is not to carp and bicker over faulty conditions, but to realise their aims and hopes, to labour abundantly and patiently, to speak and feel sincerely, to encourage rather than to condemn, Serviendum lietandum says the brave motto. To serve, one cannot avoid that; but to serve with blitheness, that is the secret.
