It is very frequently the terminology which turns the plain man away from the consideration of philosophical problems; but he has some conception, however crude it may be, of his soul or his mind and of his body. These terms are familiar to him, but the sight of a phrase like "psycho- physical parallelism" rather daunts him.
Campbell writes slowly, and it takes him some time to get under way; and just as he has fairly begun out comes one of their poems, that sets the world agog, and quite daunts him, so that he throws by his pen in despair. I pointed out the essential difference in their kinds of poetry, and the qualities which insured perpetuity to that of her husband.
He is too consummate an artist to have a thread of nature left. He daunts me. I have not the key." When Mr. Fields came in he repeated: " would persuade me that Dickens is a man easy to communicate with, sympathetic and accessible to his friends; but her eyes do not see clearly in this matter, I am sure!"
It was not the character of so much as can be perceived of the universe which daunted Luther and Duerer, as it daunts the serious man to-day. They accepted what appears to us a cheap and easy subterfuge, because they believed it to have been prescribed by God; the ambiguous inferences which such a prescription must logically cast on the Divine character did not arrest their attention.
That passion must be genuine, must be fever-high, which makes a subject quite forget his Queen in the lovely woman before him, and tempts him to dare the vengeance of a Monarch, as well as of a husband." "True, there is danger perhaps to both of us," she replied, "but it daunts us not." "No; but it is at hand." "What mean you, Glinski?" "We are betrayed." "How? by whom?"
A storm at sea is bad enough in the daytime, but at night it is terrible; for then, the peril unseen is so magnified by the terror- stricken mind as to become far more appalling than a much greater danger seen face to face and realised: the latter can be grappled with, but the former, by its very intangibility and "unreachableness," daunts the bravest heart and paralyses the strongest arm!

Ruskin whether he would ever be able to paint like Turner, the great critic replied, "It is more likely that you will become Emperor of all the Russias!" But God never daunts a soul with such discouragement.
"But I have thought of that. Paula Sforza di Santafior is dead. Requiescat! We must dispose that they will let her rest in peace." Speechless I stared at her a moment, so taken was I with the immensity of the thing that she suggested. Fear, amazement, and joy jostled one another for the possession of my mind. "Why do you look so, Lazzaro?" she exclaimed at last. "What is it daunts you?
In the childishness of her soft years, she almost wept at another channel for so much natural tenderness. It was half the woman gaining a woman-friend, half the child clinging to a new playmate. "Ah, Sibyll," she whispered, "do not leave me to-night; this strange place daunts me, and the figures on the arras seem so tall and spectre-like, and they say the old tower is haunted. Stay, dear Sibyll!"
