When these sentiments arise from reflection, well and good, they are the best sentiments in the world; but many take them up second hand. They are very inviting to the indolence of the mob of gentlemen who see the romance of a noble principle, not its utility. When a man looks at everything through this dwarfing philosophy, everything has a great modicum of humbug.
By the making solitary, which is making sacred. For instance, I would have the famous and wonderful pictures now foiling and dwarfing one another in our vulgar galleries, distributed over the Western world. I wish their enfranchisement.
The grim old Forest of Dean was dwarfing to a mere coppice; the rushing Severn was becoming an insignificant brook.

Just as the finest tree in the forest speaks most eloquently of the bounty and beauty of nature, so does the gigantic intellect glorify the intelligence that ordered its being.
Lastly she turned her eyes, with almost dreadful courage, upon the mutilated, malformed limbs, upon the feet set right up where the knee should have been, thus dwarfing the child by a fourth of his height. She observed them, handled, felt them.
In fact, "a course of reading," as it is sometimes called, is a course of regimen for dwarfing the mind, like the drugs which dog-breeders give to King Charles spaniels to keep them small.
Thus he felt his careless injuries already soothed; the live air of out-of-doors, the quiet of the world, as if by their silent music, sobering and dwarfing his emotions.
