'Sudden arose Ianthe's soul!" And then she walked about the garden, repeating the words to herself, and almost forgetting the heat. "'Each stain of earthliness had passed away. Ha; yes. They will pass away, and become instinct with beauty and grace."
He expressed a purpose of being buried side by side with his enemy. "I doubt whether their dust will mingle," remarked the old sculptor to me; for often there was an earthliness in his conceptions. "O yes," replied I, who had mused long upon the incident; "and when they rise again, these bitter foes may find themselves dear friends. Methinks what they mistook for hatred was but love under a mask."
A cloud swept up over the gorgeous earthliness of the great Rubens picture, and from out its folds shone sweet and smiling angel faces, looking down upon the scene. Mrs. Dubois never knew how long she remained thus absorbed. She was first aroused by hearing a voice saying, in tones of fervor, "How blessed it is to die!"
I wonder whether the ancient Romans were as dirty a people as we everywhere find those who have succeeded them; for there seems to have been something in the places that have been inhabited by Romans, or made famous in their history, and in the monuments of every kind that they have raised, that puts people in mind of their very earthliness, and incites them to defile therewith whatever temple, column, ruined palace, or triumphal arch may fall in their way.

His only resource was to take refuge in repeating to himself that he did not love Mrs.
At the door of Lady Gosstre's town-house she hesitated, and said in her mind, "What am I doing? and what earthliness has come into my love for him?" Or, turning to the cry, "Will he want me?" stung herself. Conscious that there was some poison in her love, but clinging to it not less, she entered the house, and was soon in Merthyr's arms. "Why have you come up?" he asked.
He expressed a purpose of being buried side by side with his enemy. "I doubt whether their dust will mingle," remarked the old sculptor to me; for often there was an earthliness in his conceptions. "Oh yes," replied I, who had mused long upon the incident; "and when they rise again, these bitter foes may find themselves dear friends.
As we rode on, I thought I would willingly live and die in such a place; but I shall see a hundred such before we leave the Alps. Thursday, July 7. Weather still celestial, as yesterday. But lo, these frail tabernacles betray their earthliness. H. remarked at breakfast that all the "tired" of yesterday was piled up into to-day.
