Deadly virtuous and deadly hard and deadly charmless also, more than anything, deadly sure I how does Maria fit on, by consanguinity, to such amiable characters, such REAL social values, as Mother and me at all? We can't meet them that is I can't meet Tom on that ground, the furious football-field to which he reduces conversation, making it echo as with the roar of the arena one little bit.
The golden sunshine has hidden itself behind a mist, joy lies fainting in my heart, and all that once pleased me has grown stale and charmless. Do you recognize the happy youth of former days?" "Seek cheerfulness again, seek it for my sake." "Gone, gone," he murmured sadly. "You saw me in Delft, but you did not know me thoroughly.
Lily had tried to mitigate this charmless background by a few frivolous touches, in the shape of a lace-decked toilet table and a little painted desk surmounted by photographs; but the futility of the attempt struck her as she looked about the room.
He could soon obtain a good office elsewhere, since their Majesties were not only favourably disposed toward him, but now toward her also. True, to him even the most brilliant external gifts of life would be valueless and charmless without her love. But here Barbara imperatively commanded him to rise, and not make his own heart and hers still heavier without avail.
But he saw in them only the lovely dweller of his own soul; and walking toward a window, stood there with his eyes fixed on the descending sun. "So hath set all my joys. So is life to me, a world without a sun-cold, cold, and charmless!"
In spite of which, at the same time, what I perhaps most retain, by the light of the present, of the sense of that big and rather dusky night of Drury Lane is not so much the felt degree of anyone's talent as the fact that personality and artistry, with their intensity, could work their spell in such a material desert, in conditions intrinsically so charmless, so bleak and bare.
A girl must therefore be charming as well as beautiful, for a charming girl will never become a charmless wife. A GOOD FEMALE BODY. No weakly, poor-bodied woman can draw a man's love like a strong, well developed body.
When he returned home it was to find an evil-smelling charmless room, a noisy common wife who did not understand him and regarded him as a humbug or a fool. His children did not take after him in anything: they took after their mother. Was it just that it should be so? Was it just?
I loved the movement with which she confided her hand to my hand; I loved her as she stood there, penniless and parentless; for a sensualist charmless, for me a treasure my best object of sympathy on earth, thinking such thoughts as I thought, feeling such feelings as I felt; my ideal of the shrine in which to seal my stores of love; personification of discretion and forethought, of diligence and perseverance, of self-denial and self-control those guardians, those trusty keepers of the gift I longed to confer on her the gift of all my affections; model of truth and honour, of independence and conscientiousness those refiners and sustainers of an honest life; silent possessor of a well of tenderness, of a flame, as genial as still, as pure as quenchless, of natural feeling, natural passion those sources of refreshment and comfort to the sanctuary of home.
She looks at everything, goes everywhere, passes her way, with her clear quiet eyes wide open; skirting the edge of obscene abysses without suspecting them; pushing through brambles without tearing her robe; exciting, without knowing it, the most injurious suspicions; and always holding her course, passionless, stainless, fearless, charmless!
