The conception of a Divine manifestation wrestling all night long with a man has been declared 'crude, 'puerile, and I know not how many other disparaging adjectives have been applied to it. But is it more unworthy of Him, or derogatory to His nature, than the lifelong pleading and striving with each of us, which He undoubtedly carries on?
Not that the masters of the merchant vessels are at all backward in disparaging the service, but threaten to send a man on board a man-of-war for a punishment, if he behaves ill that itself is enough to raise a prejudice against the service.
It was to me always a puzzle that, even in the educated art circles of Paris, Corot should have found so great a popularity as compared to that of Rousseau. Without in the least disparaging the greatness of Corot's best work, such for instance as the St.
Before the games had commenced, Tullius, as had been arranged privately with Marcius, approached the consuls, and said that there were certain matters concerning the common-wealth about which he wished to treat with them in private. When all witnesses had been ordered to retire, he said: "I am reluctant to say anything of my countrymen that may seem disparaging.
"I would rather row out alone," said James, haughtily, with a disparaging look at Herbert. "Unfortunately that won't do as well. You must learn to row with one oar first." "Then suppose you get into the boat with me." "That won't do as well. I am much heavier than you. Now you and Herbert are about the same weight."
"I guess you ain't ever been up Montana way," said the stranger in disgust which he hardly veiled. "Not much," said Sinclair blandly. "I wished that I was back up there. This is a hole of a country down here." "Hossflesh and time will take you back, I reckon." "I reckon they will, when my job's done." He turned a disparaging eye upon Sour Creek and its vicinity.
Again he turned his singularly lucid gaze full upon her; and now his look was absolutely startled. Color was coming into his face. His short, crisp hair, which had been parted so neatly an hour ago, stood rumpled all over his head, not mitigating the general queerness of his appearance. And yet his mouth wore a smile, humorous and disparaging. "May I ask what you consider that I've taught you?"
"No; but tell me it is a question of simple curiosity, and which was suggested by certain ideas passing in my mind relative to Mademoiselle Danglars" "I dare say it is something disparaging which you are going to say. It only proves how little indulgence we may expect from your sex," interrupted Valentine. "You cannot, at least, deny that you are very harsh judges of each other."
A general laugh here interrupted the speaker, for O'Riley could seldom institute a disparaging comparison without making emphatic allusion to the pig that once shared with him the hospitalities of his grandmother's cabin. "Why, everything you speak of seems to be like that wonderful pig, messmate," said Peter Grim. "Ye're wrong there intirely," retorted O'Riley.
Some disparaging thoughts upon our own generation could hardly fail to present themselves; but it is perhaps only the SACER VATES who is wanting; and we also, painted by such a man as Carolus Duran, may look in holiday immortality upon our children and grandchildren. Raeburn's young women, to be frank, are by no means of the same order of merit.
