"With the moon's beauty and the moon's soft pace"? All the chief actors in the book are clever, rising often into the high latitudes of genius, yet without that perverse kink which is wont to mar all satisfaction. There is no taint of poison in the air they breathe. There is no passion hovering on the border-land of crime, or defiling its garments with the dust of earthliness.
"They will be here anon. I could see them defiling along the road like a host of ants. I had to ride hard to escape their advance guard." On receiving this news, the colonel ordered the drums to beat to arms. Parties were sent out to strengthen the two outposts, and the troops and townsmen, with the volunteers, hastened to the lines. "How many fighting men have we?"
Batchgrew, after hesitating and clearing his throat, proceeded up the steps, defiling them. As he did so Mrs. Tams screwed together all her features and clenched her hands as if in agony, and stared horribly at the open front door, which was blowing to. It seemed that she was trying to arrest the front door by sheer force of muscular contraction. She did not succeed.
No local Laureate has as yet written it up, though picnic parties used to gather themselves together on its banks and in its well-wooded shades, defiling everything they touched from bark to beach, leaving bits of bread here, dead pie there, buttering the leaves, peppering the grass, salting the stones, and scattering greasy crumpled paper PAPER PAPER everywhere.
Charity was appalled at this unknown harshness of her soul; it sneered at all things once held beautiful and sacred. Her soul was like a big cathedral broken into by a pagan mob that ran about smashing images, defiling fonts, burlesquing all the solemn rituals. Her quiet mind was full of sunburnt nymphs and goatish fauns with shaggy fetlocks.
"My heart again! How you talk. And you consider then that if a husband be not master of his wife's heart, he has no right to her fealty; if a wife ceases to love, she may cease to be true. Is that your doctrine on this matter, as a minister of the Church of England?" Mr. Slope tried hard within himself to cast off the pollution with which he felt that he was defiling his soul.
For fear of some anticlimax Bruce at once gave his signal and the people began to swarm down the hillside into Choke Gulch, defiling through the Gulch toward a great shed that stood backed up to the hillside arrogantly.
In Silesia, for eight days before the battle of Leignitz, it had constantly to march, defiling alternately right and left in front of the enemy: this costs great fatigue, and entails great privations. Is it to be supposed that all this could have been done without producing great friction in the machine?
The aversion to bloodshed became in time so great that many sects of Thuggee consider it defiling to touch human blood!" He closed the book and threw it on the table. "Don't you think that proves the case?" "Yes," I said, thoughtfully. "And the yogi is he also a Thug?" "Oh, no; a White Priest of Siva could never be a Thug. The worship of Siva and of Kali are the very opposites of each other.
