In that beer were mingled Many ills together, Blood of all the wood And brown-burnt acorns, The black dew of the hearth, The God-doomed dead beast's inwards, And the swine's liver sodden Because all wrongs that deadens. And so now, when their hearts are brought anigh to each other, great cheer they made: then came Grimhild to Gudrun, and spake: "All hail to thee, daughter!
It is not that one violent sorrow leaves us without power of enjoyment; it only lessens the power, and deadens the enjoyment: it does not take away from us the objects of life; it only forestalls the more indifferent calmness of age.
But I dare not sit in judgement on a people suffering as they are. Outrage upon outrage they have endured, and that deadens or rather makes their heroism unscrupulous. Tarani's bride is one of the few fair girls of Italy. We have a lock of her hair.

Containing wise observations of the author, and other matters. There is nothing more difficult than to lay down any fixed and certain rules for happiness; or indeed to judge with any precision of the happiness of others from the knowledge of external circumstances. There is sometimes a little speck of black in the brightest and gayest colours of fortune, which contaminates and deadens the whole.
Its aim, indeed, was to be experience itself, and not the fruits of experience, sweet or bitter as they might be.

But it was to teach man to concentrate himself upon the moments of a life that is itself but a moment.
Thus do unfortunate wretches, tortured by cruel diseases, accept with gratitude the opiate which kills them slowly, but which at least deadens the sense of pain.
"Truly, for Evil sometimes so deadens the soul that it can feel only through the flesh." Barnabas. "Then a man may fight and yet be a gentleman?" The Preacher. "He who can forgive, can fight." Barnabas. "Sir, I am relieved to know that. But must Forgiveness always come after?" The Preacher. "If the evil is truly repented of." Barnabas. "Even though the evil remain?" The Preacher.
"The drum," says a French moralist, "is the music of battle, because it deadens thought." But in modern warfare the faculties are awake. Solitude is the touchstone of valour, and the modern soldier cast in upon himself, undazzled, unblinded, faces death singly. Fighting for ideal ends, he dies for men and things that are not yet; he dies, knowing in his heart that they may never be at all.
In our New England the great Andover discussion and the heretical missionary question have benumbed all sensibility on this subject as entirely, as completely, as the new local anaesthetic, cocaine, deadens the sensibility of the part to which it is applied, so that the eye may have its mote or beam plucked out without feeling it, as the novels of Zola and Maupassant have hardened the delicate nerve-centres of the women who have fed their imaginations on the food they have furnished.
