If he has ever felt that indefinable enervating magnetism which, in the midst of the dance, under the influence of the sound of music, and the warmth that makes all else seem cold, that comes from a young woman, that electrifies her and leaps from her to him as the perfume of aloes from the swinging censer? I was struck with stupor.
He agrees generally, with abated enthusiasm; but should he differ, he apologizes for the liberty. But anon, when the voices of his colleagues have become habitual in his ears when the strangeness of the room is gone, and the table before him is known and trusted he throws off his awe and dismay, and electrifies his brotherhood by the vehemence of his declamation and the violence of his thumping.
Still the nobler and popular end of these arts is not forgotten; and if we have some productions too learned, too recherchés for public feeling, we have, every now and then, music that electrifies a whole assembly, eloquence which shakes the forum, and poetry which carries men up to the third heaven.
We suppose our readers will agree with us in looking with eager delight to the promise of a national school of music. Every nation must create its own song. The passionate music of Italy electrifies our cooler blood, but it does not adequately express all our feelings nor in any way represent our character.
A speculative thrill electrifies the company. "That'll brush business up!" says Crillon, in wonder, torn for a moment from contemplation of the hat, but promptly relapsing on it. Joseph Bonéas says to me, in an undertone, and I am flattered, "That Pocard is a man of no education, but he has practical sense. That's a big idea he's got, at least if he sees things as I see them."
What the magic of it is we can't tell, but so it is for all that. It seems only a custom like bowing and nothing else, still there is more in it than meets the eye. But a kiss fairly electrifies you, it warms your blood and sets your heart a beatin' like a brass drum, and makes your eyes twinkle like stars in a frosty night. It tante a thing ever to be forgot.
Certain printed sentences kept dancing through his memory: "Unknown dramatist of tremendous power," "A love story so pitiless, so true, that it electrifies," "The deep cry of a suffering heart," "Norma Berwynd enters the galaxy of stars." That last sentence was the most significant, the most wonderful of all. Norma Berwynd a star!
Experiment shows that the mere CONTACT of dissimilar materials, such as copper and zinc, electrifies them zinc being positive and copper negative; but contact alone does not yield a continuous current of electricity.
'She electrifies the will, confessed one of the best judges of good writing in her day. And old Bishop Palafox's tribute to Teresa is far too beautiful to be withheld. 'What I admire in her is the peace, the sweetness, and the consolation with which in her writings she draws us toward the best, so that we find ourselves captured rather than conquered, imprisoned rather than prisoners.
Tears started to Grace's eyes, and she bent over her work to hide them from her sisters, which was unnecessary, for Maggie and Sally were absorbed in past experiences. "What about Frank?" Sally asked, and Susan looked up curious to hear Maggie's answer. "Well," said Maggie, staring at the window, "Frank is very good- looking, but I don't think that he electrifies one... he did once."
