"Our minds are astonished, and our bowels are moved, &c.!" There is a story of an irascible and fluent man who, after a torrent of abusive words addressed to a cool-tempered friend with whom he had a difference, was brought to a stop by the calm request of his friend that he would be so good as to repeat his observations. Something of the kind happened now.
Lucretius feels so strongly the unity of naturally evolved creation that he never hesitates to compare men of various temperaments with animals of sundry natures the fiery lion, the cool-tempered ox and explain the differences in both by the same preponderance of some peculiar kind of "soul-atoms."
They stood thus silently for a minute or two, looking at one another, the young, hot-tempered bushman, the grey-haired, cool-tempered leader of men; between them sprang up, as they stood, the bond of that friendship which death itself only strengthens.
"Why do you pretend to be afraid?" she demanded. "You aren't in the least." "Amateur theatricals," he replied tersely, "coupled with a certain amount of self-control. I am a cool-tempered fellow at most times. Jove, this one's meant for us, I believe!" They all ducked instinctively. The shell, however, fell short. Crawshay measured the distance between the two steamers with his eyes.
