With none of the bone and sinew of rugged manhood, he entered, not only without hesitation, but with eagerness, on a life which would have tried the boldest; and, sustained by the spirit within him, he was more than equal to it.
It must have required extraordinary self-command to have restrained so long as he did that daring spirit which was so natural to him, and which was rather the result of his temperament than his character. For my part, I confess that I always admired him more for what he had the fortitude not to do than for the boldest exploits he ever performed.
All felt the influence of a feeling that laid prostrate the moral energies even of the boldest: but there was one young officer in particular, who exhibited a dejection, degenerating almost into stupefaction; and more than once, when he received an order from his superior, hesitated as one who either heard not, or, in attempting to perform it, mistook the purport of his instructions, and executed some entirely different duty.
But it serves no purpose to inquire what they symbolise. If we did so, we should have to go further, and ask, What do the bronze figures below them, twisted into the boldest attitudes the human frame can take, or the twinned children on the pedestals, signify?
Diplomacy is hospitable, and a young Englishman of graceful mien, well introduced, and a member of the House of Commons that awful assembly which produces those dreaded blue books which strike terror in the boldest of foreign statesmen was not only received, but courted, in the interesting circle in which Endymion found himself.
Red sorrel spires deep drinkers of reddest sun wine stand the boldest, and in their numbers threaten the buttercups. To these in the distance they give the gipsy-gold tint the reflection of fire on plates of the precious metal. It will show even on a ring by firelight; blood in the gold, they say.
"Greek was not easy to learn, but I am very glad now that I did not give it up in despair, and really paid attention to Croesus' lessons." "Who could those men have been," asked Darius, "who dared to speak evil of women?" "A couple of Greek poets," answered Amasis, "the boldest of men, for I confess I would rather provoke a lioness than a woman. But these Greeks do not know what fear is.
It has become a resort for gentlemen anglers, and its sportsmen's club claims such experts and fine exponents of angling as Heilner, Lester, Cassiard, Crowninshield, Conill, the Schutts, and others, who can safely be trusted to advance the standard. Fishermen are like sheep they follow the boldest leaders. And no one wants to be despised by the elect.
Then quickly followed the boldest and most spectacular exploit of the war, the brilliant charge up the steep heights of Chapultepec, a hill that bristled with walls, mines, and batteries, and whose summit was crowned with a powerful fortress, swarming with confident defenders.
Nobody would offer to play any unfeeling tricks with them; a single look from their fierce, fiery eyes, glaring from the branches of a tree, round which they twist their long tails, would send the boldest of you scampering away. They grow larger, and their fur becomes much richer, when in a wild state.
