It was your own choice that sought out and formed friendships and companionships of the ungodly sort. If you have any joys, delights, and associations which Christ would compel you to resign, they are only such as you ought never to have entered upon.
To say nothing of the companionships and intimacies among the young people, their fathers and mothers would be kept from growing old and glum by constant friction with their kind; and, in so far as a more satisfactory social relation with one's fellow-men gives cheerfulness and the richness of a wider human interest, in that proportion would the village life have a wholesome, mellowing effect that is not to be found in the remote farmhouse, nor even in the sort of neighborhood we sometimes find in the country where several farmhouses are within a quarter of a mile of each other.
Flint Buckner's cabin was the last one of the village, going south; his silver-claim was at the other end of the village, northward, and a little beyond the last hut in that direction. He was a sour creature, unsociable, and had no companionships. People who had tried to get acquainted with him had regretted it and dropped him. His history was not known.
If the promoters of such corporations presently earn huge fortunes for themselves society is none the worse: and in any case, humanity being what it is, they will hand back a vast part of what they have acquired in return for LL.D. degrees, or bits of blue ribbon, or companionships of the Bath, or whatever kind of glass bead fits the fancy of the retired millionaire.
It had some of the qualities of the silence which goes with long-established companionships. He spoke but once, to remind her, protectingly, that the grass was damp, and to draw her almost tactually to the graveled path. They came to the gate, but he did not immediately say good night.
He loses relations to former life; so he has before. He comes into new companionships and surroundings; so he has before. But each time and in every respect his powers, possibilities, and field have been immensely enlarged. O the hour when this material Shall have vanished like a cloud, When amid the wide ethereal All the invisible shall crowd.
'The little hills rejoice together on every side, but far above their smiling companionships, the Alpine peak lifts itself into the cold air, and though it be 'visited all night by troops of stars, it is lonely amid the silence and the snow.
She left me this little note and a bitter feeling that formerly I was not alone, and now I am. For these sensations of lonesomeness a man should never start companionships, whether with a woman, or a dog, or even a goldfish. The one who is alone is alone. The one that becomes alone feels doubly rotten....
I cannot lead away from those familiar days without speaking of other companionships which that valley furnished beyond those intimated companionships which did not interfere with the rough frontier fellowships that made democracy possible. For it was in these same fields that Horace literally sat by the plough and sang of farm and city.
They walked side by side in that best of all companionships which demands no effort at sprightliness, nor the utterance of one word not spontaneously spoken. "Shall we see you down by the river to-night?" she asked him, at length. If he could get away he would go there, he said. "Do come!" she gently urged him. "It does you good to get away." Then the man's house was reached.
