You do not look to gather grapes from thistles, after you have found that they are thistles." "I still go for the roses though I have often torn my hand with thorns in looking for them." "But you do not pluck those that have become cankered in the blowing." "Because he was once at fault, will he be cankered always?" "I would not trust him."
She had fancied that they must of necessity be all refined, sympathetic, large-hearted, and noble-minded alas! how grievously was she disappointed! She found, to her sorrow, that the tree of modern Art bore but few wholesome roses and many cankered buds that the "Joyous Fraternity" were not joyous at all but, on the contrary, inclined to dyspepsia and discontentment.
"He had a sash of silk About his middle meet; And thus with seemly curtesie He did King Arthur greet: "'God speed thee, brave King Arthur. Thus feasting in thy bower, And Guenever, thy goodly queen, That fair and peerless flower. "'Ye gallant lords and lordlings, I wish you all take heed, Lest what ye deem a blooming rose Should prove a cankered weed.
What wud ye think o' a faither that brocht hame some bonnie thing frae the fair for ane o' his bairns, and when the puir bairn wes pleased wi' it tore it oot o' his hand and flung it into the fire? Eh, woman, he wud be a meeserable cankered jealous body.
This blow was aimed at the life of the Government. Some murders there have been that admitted shades of palliation, but not such a one as this without provocation, without reason, without temptation sprung from the fury of a heart cankered to all that is pure and just. The blow has failed of its object. The Government stands more solid today than any pyramid of Egypt.
It has proved that in spite of all our covetousness, all our luxury, all our frivolity, we are not cynics yet, nor likely, thanks be to Almighty God, to become cynics; that however encrusted and cankered with the cares and riches of this world, and bringing, alas, very little fruit to perfection, the old British oak is sound at the root still human, still humane.
The following is the standard by which Greyhounds should be judged. HEAD Long and narrow, slightly wider in skull, allowing for plenty of brain room; lips tight, without any flew, and eyes bright and intelligent and dark in colour. EARS Small and fine in texture, and semi-pricked. TEETH Very strong and level, and not decayed or cankered. NECK Lengthy, without any throatiness, but muscular.
Now I am not preaching at this moment; I may read you one of my sermons some other morning; but I maintain that gambling, on the great scale, is not republican. It belongs to two phases of society, a cankered over-civilization, such as exists in rich aristocracies, and the reckless life of borderers and adventurers, or the semi-barbarism of a civilization resolved into its primitive elements.
If you were useless blind as well as lame if you were as cankered and ill to do with as you are mild and sweet, there would be no question of burden, because you are one of us, our own. If you were thinking of Angus Dhu, you might speak of burdens; but it is nonsense to say that to me.
And so Mary, at sixteen, wedded the Dauphin Francis, who was a year her junior. The prince was a wretched, whimpering little creature, with a cankered body and a blighted soul. Marriage with such a husband seemed absurd. It never was a marriage in reality. The sickly child would cry all night, for he suffered from abscesses in his ears, and his manhood had been prematurely taken from him.
