The Negroes were generally made to understand that the Democrats wanted to put them back into slavery, but sometimes the leaders deemed it wiser to state more concretely that "Jeff Davis had come to Montgomery and is ready to organize the Confederacy again" if the Democrats should win; or to say that "if Carter is elected, he will not allow your wives and daughters to wear hoopskirts."
Let them remember next, how gross were the notions of God, or rather of gods, prevalent during the same era and afterwards how concretely gods were conceived as men of specific aspects dressed in specific ways how their names were literally "the strong," "the destroyer," "the powerful one," how, according to the Scandinavian mythology, the "sacred duty of blood-revenge" was acted on by the gods themselves, and how they were not only human in their vindictiveness, their cruelty, and their quarrels with each other, but were supposed to have amours on earth, and to consume the viands placed on their altars.
There is something really weird and uncanny in the contrast between the abstract pretensions of rationalism and what rationalistic methods concretely can do. Not a solitary instance of the use of it in science occurs to my mind. Hypotheses, and deductions from these, controlled by sense-observations and analogies with what we know elsewhere, are to be thanked for all of science's results.
To be sure, he did not know that he felt shame, being unused to introspection, having always kept it at arm's length. For he always meditated concretely, as, for instance, when he looked up and did not see his wife at breakfast, but saw Bester making coffee, he thought, 'That fellow knows all about it, I shouldn't wonder! and he felt angry for thinking that. When he saw Mr.
The picture no longer seems true because we feel that a false theory has prevented the artist from viewing life concretely and clearly. We could, for example, accept as natural and inevitable the ending of Tess of the D'Urbervilles, if Hardy had not presented it as an illustration of the cruel sport of the gods.
"It's part of your swindle to assume that you do know why. You ought to find out." Wanhope interposed concretely, or as concretely as he could: "The important thing would always be to find which of the lovers the confession, tacit or explicit, began with." "Acton ought to go round and collect human documents bearing on the question. He ought to have got together thousands of specimens from nature.
Garson sat huddled, stricken for he had recognized the victim thrust into the cell before his eyes.... It was Dacey, one of his own cronies in crime Dacey, who, the night before, had seen him kill Eddie Griggs. There was something concretely sinister to Garson in this fact of Dacey's presence there in the cell.
Nothing is more fantastically unreal to tell about, nothing more concretely real to experience, than this undernote of the quick water. And when you do lie awake at night, it is always making its unobtrusive appeal. Gradually its hypnotic spell works. The distant chimes ring louder and nearer as you cross the borderland of sleep. And then outside the tent some little woods noise snaps the thread.
She grappled with it concretely, making a cat-like leap for the murderer and gripping his neck-cloth with both her hands. The impact of her body sent him stumbling backward several steps. He tried to shake her loose and still retain his hold on the gun. This was awkward, for her firm-fleshed body had become a cat's.
The derivation of the secondary images must be concretely followed through the authenticated channels of association not assumed on the basis of "fixed symbolism," or any other a priori conception. The reconstitution of this particular dream illustrates the reductio ad absurdum of the two previous psycho-analytic "solutions."
