Fortunately, nature has a few big places beyond man's power to spoil the ocean, the two icy ends of the globe, and the Grand Canyon. When I first heard of the Santa Fe trains running to the edge of the Grand Canyon of Arizona, I was troubled with thoughts of the disenchantment likely to follow.
Don Quixote, having read this document, clearly understood it to refer to Dulcinea's disenchantment, and rendered thanks to Heaven that he had achieved so great a feat with so little danger, and brought back to their former bloom the faces of the venerable waiting-women, who had now disappeared; and approaching the duke and duchess, who had not yet come to themselves, he took the duke by the hand: "Courage, courage, noble sir," cried he, "there is no danger; the adventure is finished without damage, as you may read it registered in that record."
So, when common sense, the law of social proprieties, family interest all the mixed elements which, since the Restoration, have been dignified by the mane of Public Morals, out of sheer aversion to the name of the Catholic religion where this is seconded by a sense of insults a little too offensive; when the fatigue of constant self-sacrifice has almost reached the point of exhaustion; and when, under these circumstances, a too cruel blow one of those mean acts which a man never lets a woman know of unless he believes himself to be her assured master puts the crowning touch to her revulsion and disenchantment, the moment has come for the intervention of the friend who undertakes the cure.
She found a poignant pleasure, at this stage of her career, in the question: "What does a young girl know of life?" And the poignancy was deepened by the fact that each of the friends to whom she put the question seemed convinced that had the privilege been his he would have known how to spare her the disenchantment it implied.
The millions of francs earned by his illustrations gave him everything he wanted but one, that one, in his eyes, worth all the rest. Travel, a splendid studio, largesses he was generosity itself all these were within his reach. The craved-for renown remained ungraspable. Even visits to his favourite resort, Barr, brought disenchantment.
Near Orca, Prince William Sound, Alaska, June 27 . Since I wrote you at Sitka we have come further north and spent five days in Yakutat Bay and since Saturday in this sound have seen innumerable glaciers and lofty mountains and wild strange scenes. At Yakutat we went into Disenchantment Bay, 30 miles where no large steamer had ever gone before.
Instead of appeasing his conscience, the remark completed his descent into the state of disenchantment he had been approaching for hours. The shock of his mother's illness, coming after three days of marriage, had been too much for his unstable equilibrium, and he felt smothered by an oppression which, in some strange way, seemed closing upon him from without.
When a stranger comes to Rome he brings with him a Rome of his own, a Rome such as he dreams of, so ennobled by imagination that the real Rome proves a terrible disenchantment.
So she put it for the benefit of society; but this had not been her idea of things when she had tumbled into Senhouse's arms nor had it been his. Her ruling idea in these days of disenchantment and discomfort and it was her ruling idea still was to preserve appearances. The great, invincible, fundamental instinct of the class from which she had sprung to keep oneself unspotted by the world.
Your sister Mary had the disenchantment to go through; I had to chafe at the coercion; while you, my friend, had to muse bitterly on the consequence of one rash speech of your own, which chained you to an unworthy and detested wife. "I think we need a future state that we may do justice to ourselves in it quite as much as to repair the wrongs we may have done to others.
