And how they liked my catch-phrase?" Kedzie nodded. Gilfoyle grew sarcastic: "Well, a man's a genius if he succeeds, and a fool if he doesn't. I'm just as sure as ever that there's a fortune in Breathasweeta. But when Kalteyer's bankers got cold feet I lost my halo. He and Kiam have been roasting the life out of me. They blame me!
There can only be one way of ceasing to be the object of the Divine Wrath, and that is by identifying oneself with it; if we may use the catch-phrase, by becoming its subject instead of its object. This means that, so far as is in our power, we must enter into the Divine Mind in regard to sin, and our own sins in particular.
Now, it has been found in practice that the only thing that will keenly interest a crowd is a struggle of some sort or other. Speaking empirically, the late Ferdinand Brunetière, in 1893, stated that the drama has dealt always with a struggle between human wills; and his statement, formulated in the catch-phrase, "No struggle, no drama," has since become a commonplace of dramatic criticism.
When the Swiss invented a catch-phrase they did not drop it in a hurry. "Where did you get that HAT?" they shouted. Friesshardt and Leuthold stood like two statues in armour, paying no attention to the remarks of the rabble. This annoyed the rabble. They began to be more personal.
"You wouldn't like the smoking, Dolly." "Nor the stories, some of them," she retorted. "Oh, the stories are always first-rate," he said, and he laughed more than before. "And they never gossip at the clubs, Mr. Homos never!" she added. "Well, hardly ever," said her husband, with an intonation that I did not understand. It seemed to be some sort of catch-phrase. "All I know," said Mrs.
"There was a time when a very important part of the American Press seemed to stand on the level of the catch-phrase which was going the round at that time: 'Wall Street now fears nothing except the outbreak of peace. These times, however, are long since past. The desire for a speedy end of the hostilities in Europe is to-day genuine, and shared by almost the whole Press.
There was never a catch-phrase, "Have you seen the French President?" or even "Have you seen the Tsar?" both of whom one would expect to take precedence of a Persian ruler. But they are more commonplace people. The Shah makes his appeal, not on account of his importance but on account of his romantic associations.
With the coming of the new canon, which it is convenient to dub by the catch-phrase, Art for Art's Sake, a man's production began to be tested more definitely by the technique he possessed, the skilled way in which he performed his task. Did he play the game well? That was the first question. Often it was the first and last.
This was a catch-phrase in society at the time of the trial. Some one recited from a number of Hood's Comic Annual the following poem by Tom Hood: "Yestreen, when I retired to bed, I had a funny dream; Imagination backward sped Up History's ancient stream. A falconer in fullest dress Was teaching me his art; Of tercel, eyas, hood, and jess, The terms I learnt by heart.
Only I saw that I must not wholly rely on the catch-phrase, "Upward, not Northward," but must rather endeavour to seek a demonstration by setting before the public a clear view of the whole subject; and for this purpose it seemed necessary to resort to writing. So I devoted several months in privacy to the composition of a treatise on the mysteries of Three Dimensions.
