The causes were various business embarrassments, domestic chagrins, the brutishness produced by liquor, poverty, insanity, the desire to put an end to physical suffering by "euthanasia," and so on; but they are pretty nearly all included in the "fardels" which Hamlet mentions, from the physical troubles of the "heartache and the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to," up to the mental distress wrought by the "whips and scorns of time, the oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely, the pangs of despised love," and so on in the well-remembered catalogue.
She recognized, but could not analyze, the difference. She was aware only of the brutishness of this man's hands and mind. "You're lookin' white an' all beat to a frazzle," he was saying. "Why don't you cut the work? You got to some time, anyway. You can't lose me, kid." "I wish I could," she replied. He laughed with harsh joviality. "Nothin' to it, Saxon. You're just cut out to be Mrs.
Again she shrank from him. The beast saw that she feared him, and being a brute enjoyed the evidence of the terror his brutishness inspired. Crouching, he extended his huge hand stealthily toward her, as though to seize her. She shrank still further away.
Signorelli is the only painter of the Renaissance I can recall who has succeeded in giving a savage sternness, a formidable brutishness to his fiends, which is very far from grotesque, but is really appalling. These ferocious creatures are of all colours, slate-blue, crude purple, heavy green, livid mauve sometimes of all these poisonous-looking colours fading one into the other.
Master Pothier shook his head to express disapproval, and smiled to express his inborn sympathy with feasting and good-fellowship "that, your Honor, is the heel of the hunt, the hanging up of the antlers of the stag by the gay chasseurs who are visiting the Intendant!" "A hunting party, you mean? To think that men could stand such brutishness, even to please the Intendant!" "Stand! your Honor.

It opens with a drunken revel, "In the House of Burbo and Stratonice;" the bulky brutishness of the gladiators clamoring for wine, a jolly drinking-song, and a dance by a jingling clown make up a superbly written number. The second movement is named "Nydia," and represents the pathetic reveries of the blind girl; it is tender and quiet throughout.
"Yes, Miss Elliston, in the Northland there is law. But the law is a fundamental law the primitive law of savage might. The strong devour the weak. Only the fit survive survive to be ruled, to be trampled, to be owned by the strongest. And the law is the measure of might! Primal instincts pristine passions primordial brutishness permeate the whole North rule it.
Thus one night I heard a woman's voice in the dark, very tired and faint, say, "It's a long hill!" to which the surly tones of a man replied: "'Ten't no longer than 'twas, is it?" Brutishness like this, however, is quite the exception. As a sample of what is normal, take the following scraps of talk overheard one summer night some years ago.
One glance at the scene was sufficient. Poor old Joe Nelson was lying on the ground, his arms thrown out to protect his head, while Jake, his face ablaze, stood over him, kicking him with his cruel field boots, with a force and brutishness that promised to break every bone in the old man's body. It all came to him in a flash. Then he leapt with a rush at the author of the unnatural scene.
