They leave no doubt in my mind that the report is true. As to the failure of confidence in his friends, what can be said? unless by way of reminder of the old truth that, by the blessing of Heaven, wrongs be they but deep enough may chasten a human temper into something divine. "George has been very grave for the last three hours, pandering, I fancy, what irony can be for.
Allan asked me if I would consent to take a class in Sunday School, I said no in a fashion calculated to chasten him wholesomely. If he had sent his wife the first time, as he did the second, it would have been wiser. People generally do what Mrs. Allan asks them to do because they know it saves time. Mrs.
If youth were the indictment against Lily, was she not still young? It took years, or suffering, or sometimes both, to break the will of youth and chasten its spirit. God grant Lily might not have suffering. It was Grace's plan to say nothing to Lily, but to go for her herself, and thus save her the humiliation of coming back alone. All morning housemaids were busy in Lily's rooms.
What is there to do but what I have done to close up my affairs and depart? If there is such a thing as love, long absence may renew it, and the sorrow may chasten her heart; but I agree with Solomon that it is better to dwell in a corner of the house-top than with a scolding woman in a wide house." "You bet," nodded Wiley. "Gimme the desert solitude, every time.
"We'll miss Teddy in all sorts of ways," said Mr. Britling. "It's only for the duration of the war," said Teddy. "And Letty's very intelligent. I've done my best to chasten the evil in her." "If you think you're going to get back your job after the war," said Letty, "you're very much mistaken. I'm going to raise the standard."

"And who knows," he murmured again, "if Heaven, in throwing this sweet being in my way, might not have designed to subdue and chasten in me the angry passions I have so long fed on? I have seen her, can I now hate her father?"
The legions of Artemis are all female, though on earth men as well as women worship her; the legions of Pan are all male, though on earth he can chasten women as well as men. But Pan can do nothing against Artemis, nor she anything against him or any of his. The decree or swift deed of either is respected by the other.
It's easy to dislike violence but I rather worship vitality. I would almost rather see a man forcing his way through with some callousness, than backing out, smiling and apologising. You can convert strength, you can't do anything with weakness. Take the sort of work you fellows do. I always feel I can chasten and direct exuberance: what I can't do is to impart vigour.
So it is of no use to kick against the pricks. Bores are in this world for a purpose to chasten the proud spirit of women, who otherwise might become too indolent and ease-loving to be of any use and they are here to stay. We have no conscience concerning women bores. We escape from them ruthlessly. And, perhaps, because women are quicker to take a hint is the reason there are fewer of them.
Yeats there was more romanticism than he would care to admit, though the Elizabethan ideal which he cherished and his own power of concentration did much to subdue and chasten the insubordinate, vaguely aspiring spirit which in lesser Celtic poets turns to froth, with no undercurrent of human truth to give significance to its flaky beauty.
