We may regard as a special variety of the ascetic view of sex, for the ascetics, as we see, freely but not quite legitimately, based their asceticism largely on æsthetic considerations, that insistence on the proximity of the sexual to the excretory centres which found expression in the early Church in Augustine's depreciatory assertion: "Inter fæces et urinam nascimur," and still persists among many who by no means always associate it with religious asceticism.
There was not a man present who did not express his admiration for her beauty and her grace; hardly a woman who did not instantly make some depreciatory remark. The latter fact spoke perhaps more convincingly for the undoubted success she had created than did the former. Maurice was standing by one of the dining-room windows, Mrs. Romer, as usual, by his side.
On having my reply that they were tasting the miseries of civil war translated to him, he shook his head, shrugged his shoulders, and slowly ejaculated: "Unhappy Spain! Silly, unfortunate people! That is the way with them always. They are at perpetual strife one with another." And then Mahomet interposed with a parenthesis of his own depreciatory of the Spaniards, whom he loathed and despised.
But it became a nestling centre for the skiey flock of dreams, and for really temperate soundings of her capacities, tending to the depreciatory. She could do little.
But you make me feel ashamed!" "I know," agreed Lanyard, depreciatory; "but that's the way I am a little devil you really can't trust me! Adieu, Monsieur le Comte." "Au revoir, monsieur!" Lanyard saw the car round the corner before turning to the entrance of Troyon's, keeping his weather-eye alert the while.

He had also gone through the memory of Moses's rod the night before. "I wonder whether Wiggleswick could be of any use?" he said, more brightly. Emmy laughed dismally. Wiggleswick!
They were guarded whisperings, however, non-committal, and so worded that a triumphantly blazoned "I told you so!" or a depreciatory and horrified: "You misunderstood me, dear," hung upon the pending verdict of the powers that be. Gregory St.
The depreciatory representation which Wallenstein had artfully given of the Swedish power, increased the Emperor's security; for what had he to fear from an enemy, whom his general undertook to drive with such ease from Germany? Even the rapid progress of Gustavus Adolphus in Pomerania, could not entirely dispel this prejudice, which the mockeries of the courtiers continued to feed.
Harry was getting out of Bessie's depth now; a little more of poetry and romance in his views would have brought them nearer to the level of her comprehension. Then he talked to her of his school, of the old doctor, that great man, of his schoolfellows, of his rivals whom he had distanced not a depreciatory word of any of them. "I don't believe in luck for myself," he said.
If he anywhere shows prejudice, it is in his somewhat depreciatory estimate of the Normans, whom he rather gratuitously supposes to have acquired civilization and the love of art from the Saxons, a supposition at war with probability as well as fact.
