It is pitiful indeed to find in "the collected and revised works," thirty-six volumes, the drivel of his Pro-Slavery advocacy, and of ill-conditioned snarling at honest men labouring to reform ancient abuses.
"Go them and another five and another there that's something like a man, and let's have no more woman's drivel about dying." "But " Bennett came close to him, shaking a forefinger in his face, thrusting forward his chin wickedly. "My friend, I'll drive you like a dog, but," his fist clenched in the man's face, "I'll make you pull through."
Passing from the ethereal music of the Scottish ploughman and the English painter, from Cowper's noble or gentle thought and his accomplished versification, from Crabbe's manly vigour and his Rembrandt touch, we find nothing, unless it be the ingenious but not strictly poetical burlesque of the Wolcots and the Lawrences, till we come to the drivel of Hayley and the drought of Darwin.
Listen to the hideous badinage, the wild bursts of foul language from the betting-men, the mean, cunning drivel of the gamblers, the shrill laughter of the horsey and unsexed women? Does the youth make friends? Ah, yes!
Lycurgus Mason also always took the view that the "Hymen" chapter was drivel. "Now, John, be sensible " Lycurgus insisted one night in 1903 when the two were eating supper in Barclay's private car on a side-track in Arizona; "don't be like my wife she always drools over that chapter, too. But you know my wife " Lycurgus always referred to Mrs.

I wouldn't swear that her eyes were wet with unshed tears, but I rather think they were, certainly she clasped her hands in piteous appeal. "Must you drivel, Bertie? Won't you stop it just this once? Just for tonight, to please Aunt Dahlia?" "I'm not drivelling."
John laughed, and there was a new note of gladness in his voice which Reginald was quick to notice. "I haven't begun to drivel yet, Rege; and life counts for a good deal more when a man has an object than when he is living just to please himself." "And who should a man please but himself, I should like to know?" "Jesus Christ."
The total point of this idiot's drivel consists in calling Sir Thomas "an asse;" and well it justifies the poet's own remark, "Let there be gall enough in thy ink, no matter though thou write with a goose pen."
"You pay too much attention to such insipid drivel in even mentioning it." "Well, if I have the credit of saying what I should n't to you or to any one else I don't see why I should n't have the advantage too. Gordon does n't care he does n't care what I do or say. He does n't care a pin for me!"
Otherwise it would be good to lose all remembrance, to forget, to dream, to lapse into the nothingness of the vacant eye, the down-drooping lid and the drivel. "One, two. One, two, three," he counted, the wind listening. In spite of the counting, with his eyes fixed on the desolation of the prairie, his thoughts on Celia, suddenly he felt himself seized by gusts of violent rage.
