Hilda was now more than ever affrighted, shamed, perturbed, agonised. Yet at the same time she had the desperate calm of the captain of a ship about to founder with all hands. And she saw glimpses, beautiful and compensatory, of the romantic quality of common life. And withal, the ordinariness and the midland gumption of the scene were shot through with the bright exotic rays of romance!
Still, I really should have left, had it been otherwise I am certain I should. I never could stand the inaction of the Upper House. Nor do I care for those compensatory honors that my position and family influence might have secured for me. And now I feel more the American every day.
Air, bathing, and diet aid, but we must have exercise in order to get the energetic contraction of the larger muscles of the body which goes so far toward regulating the physical tone. We must have what are called compensatory exercises, beginning as far down as the grammar-schools and continuing right through the universities and professional schools into general business and civic life.
All this could be borne in patience; but when coupled with it came the virtual loss of the team, is it strange that my spirits went down below a normal point? Then came the compensatory thought of what had been accomplished. Four states had responded cordially.
What compensatory good can a priest pretend to do when his primary business is the truth and his method a lie?
"It is now time to go up into the tower," said he, and they gladly made that toilsome ascent, though it is doubtful if the ascent of towers is not too much like the ascent of mountains ever to be compensatory.
But over and above these slow irresistible changes there has been a vast destruction and defacement of the living world by the uncalculating reckless procedure of both savage and civilised man which is little short of appalling, and is all the more ghastly in that the results have been very rapidly brought about, that no compensatory production of new life, except that of man himself and his distorted "breeds" of domesticated animals, has accompanied the destruction of formerly flourishing creatures, and that, so far as we can see, if man continues to act in the reckless way which has characterised his behaviour hitherto, he will multiply to such an enormous extent that only a few kinds of animals and plants which serve him for food and fuel will be left on the face of the globe.
Is child-bearing to become the labour of but a portion of our sex? then we demand for those among us who are allowed to take no share in it, compensatory and equally honourable and important fields of social toil.
While it is urged, in preventing the actual development of this disease, and in slowing its progress, that it is advisable to lower a high blood pressure, we must remember that this blood pressure mad be compensatory, and many times should not be much lowered without due consideration of the symptoms and the patient's condition.
And a belief in matter itself is unmentionable and inexpressible, it is neither a thing nor no-thing: and this is known even by children and ignorant persons. Now it is worth while to inquire if there be not some compensatory value attaching to this impermanency and this smallness in the national life. Nothing is more characteristic of that life than its extreme fluidity.
