Her thin grey hair fluttered in the breeze. She was stout and an object of ridicule even with death clutching at her. "Go on, mother," said the younger woman, with contempt in her voice. "Agatha!" cried Luke. "You here?" "Yes; we came on board at Malta." Our life is given us as a blank; Ourselves must make it blest or curst. A man came running along and clutched at Luke's arm.
There was at the seminary a curst Lazarist, who by undertaking to teach me Latin made me detest it. His hair was coarse, black and greasy, his face like those formed in gingerbread, he had the voice of a buffalo, the countenance of an owl, and the bristles of a boar in lieu of a beard; his smile was sardonic, and his limbs played like those of a puppet moved by wires.
He swore, he curst, and said, these be they that worshippe that crucifide God of Nazareth, heres the fruits of their newfound gospell, sulphur and gunpouder carry them all quick to Gehenna.
Till Congreve came forth, so ran this exquisite flattery, the superiority of the poets who preceded the civil wars was acknowledged. "Theirs was the giant race before the flood." Since the return of the Royal House, much art and ability had been exerted, but the old masters had been still unrivalled. "Our builders were with want of genius curst, The second temple was not like the first."
For men whose lips are blanched and white, With aching wounds and torturing thirst, What charm in canvas shot with light, And pale with faces cleft and curst, Past life and life's delight? And then Mr. Gosse's purely descriptive power, his aptitude for still-life and landscape, is unmistakably vivid and sound. Take, for an instance, this description of high-northern summer:
But the rules of duty predominate most in cases where they are determined with exactness, that is, in the virtue of Justice. It is here that the author sets forth the dismal career of 'the poor man's son, whom heaven in the hour of her anger has curst with ambition, and enforces his favourite moral lesson of contentment and tranquillity.
First, then, before you can speak peace to your hearts, you must be made to see, made to feel, made to weep over, made to bewail, your actual transgressions against the law of God. According to the covenant of works, "the soul that sinneth it shall die"; curst is that man, be he what he may, be he who he may, that continueth not in all things that are written in the book of the law to do them.
Even as I prayed thus, the scuttle was raised and, blinded by the sudden glare of a lanthorn, I heard Job's hoarse voice: "Below there! Pompey, ahoy! Ha'n't ye done yet an' be curst?"
Therefore, as Donal watched his book, Gibbie for Donal's sake watched the herd, and, as he did so, gently possessed himself of Donal's club. Nor had many minutes passed before Donal, raising his head to look, saw the curst cow again in the green corn, and Gibbie manfully encountering her with the club, hitting her hard upon head and horns, and deftly avoiding every rush she made at him.
In one word, their theology was in substance this There is one God who created all the world, and declared His will to us by Moses and the prophets, and finally by Jesus Christ and His apostles; and we have one sole Redeemer, who purchased us by His blood, and by whose grace we hope to be saved: All the idols of the world are curst, and deserve execration.
