They also entertain themselves with the other delights let in at their eyes, their ears, and their nostrils, as the pleasant relishes and seasonings of life, which Nature seems to have marked out peculiarly for man; since no other sort of animals contemplates the figure and beauty of the universe; nor is delighted with smells, any farther than as they distinguish meats by them; not do they apprehend the concords or discords of sound; yet in all pleasures whatsoever they take care that a lesser joy does not hinder a greater, and that pleasure may never breed pain, which they think always follows dishonest pleasures.
Though it must be confessed, it is a nice point and extremely difficult, so to temper this lenity as to preserve the authority of the government. But if such a blessed mixture and temperament may be obtained, it seems to be of all concords and harmonies the most concordant and most harmonious.
Horns and violins now pursue their former duet, but in the changed hue of minor where the old concords are quaintly perverted. But this is only to give a merrier ring to the bright madrigal that follows in sweetly clashing higher wood, with the trip still in the violins. Thence the horns and violins break again into the duet in the original key.
"Yes, back of the orchard." "Well, I've got an idea. I won't say what it is now. I want to see how it turns out first. Does Sylvia use wild grapes?" "No, I know she won't. There are going to be bushels of Concords and Delawares." "Well, I want you to go down with me and let me look at your wild grape-vines. I suppose the grapes must be set long ago.

The mystic appeals to those only who have an ear for the celestial concords, as the musician only appeals to those who have the special endowment which enables them to understand his compositions.
Stretching behind the house were sweet meadows of hay and red clover basking in the heat, orchards where the cows cropped beneath the trees, arbours where purple clusters of Concords hung beneath warm leaves: there were woods beyond, into which, under the guidance of Willie Breck, I made adventurous excursions, and in the autumn gathered hickories and walnuts.
True, the perfect concord of art and science, like that of religion and science, may be still to come, and come, we hope, both concords will. One word more before we distribute the prizes. A system of prizes is a system of competition, and to competition some object. We can readily sympathise with their objection.
In these respects observation, both scientific and popular, concords with the probabilities suggested by the three standards in this matter which have already been set forth. No generalization, however, can here be set down in an absolute and unqualified manner. There are definite reasons why this should be so.
It is small, but it omits no point on which beginners are likely to err. Women should give particular attention to the following: False concords, p. 22. Purity in the use of words, p. 33. Want of discrimination between synonyms, p. 39. Carelessness as to the meaning of sentences, p. 42. The use of relatives, p. 52.
You may recollect that I left a memorandum of what Theo. was to learn. I hope it has been strictly attended to. Desire Gurney not to attempt to teach her any thing about the "concords." I will show him how I choose that should be done when I return, which, I thank God, is but three weeks distant.
