It is a crime, as you have said. I do not try to extenuate my offence. I see it, I judge it, and I accept it. I break the last moral tie that is left me; I leave the ranks of men of honor, and I leave also the ranks of humanity. I have nothing human left except my love, nothing sacred but you; but my crime elevates itself by its magnitude.
He enters like a comedian, stops, looks round, advances some steps. He asks in an authoritative tone, what M. le Duc d'Orleans is doing: the reply is, he is in his private room within. The Marechal elevates his tone, says that nevertheless he must see the Regent; that he is going to enter; when lo!
He would come to thrill with an indescribable emotion with Kant, as he thinks of the infinite dignity to which fellowship with those mysterious laws elevates him. He would realise the truth of the solemn words: Two things fill me with ceaseless awe, The starry heavens, and man's sense of law. Ethics cold! Then what else is left to inspire to us? We are bankrupt.
She pleases them as little as she elevates them; and how little she does that, the class of women she has taken as her models of itself testifies.
The man stretched out there may have been voluble as a swallow, but now when he could speak to some purpose neither pyramid nor sphinx holds a secret more tenaciously. Consider, then, how the sense of impermanence brightens beauty and elevates happiness.
His cunning is his armor; and I am persuaded that the persecutions to which he has always been subjected have caused the development of an amount of intelligence that elevates him many degrees above the majority of the feathered race. There are few birds that equal the Crow in sagacity. He observes many things that would seem to require the faculties of a rational being.
"I was ill and couldn't go, and my cousin went with her," says Dora. "Far be it from me to object to any innocent amusement, much less to the music of Mr. Handel, dear Mr. Claypool," says mamma. "Music refines the soul, elevates the understanding, is heard in our churches, and 'tis well known was practised by King David.
There is something in those bitter feelings, which are the offspring of disappointed love; something in the intolerable anguish of well-founded jealousy, that when the first shock is over, often hardens, and perhaps elevates the character. The sterner powers that we arouse within us to combat a passion that can no longer be worthily indulged, are never afterwards wholly allayed.
Alas! it's impossible, impossible, I know.... If only now, at least, before death for death after all is a sacred thing, after all it elevates any being if any kind, sad, friendly voice would sing over me a farewell song of my own sorrow, I could, perhaps, be resigned to it. But to die stupidly, stupidly.... I believe I'm beginning to rave.
"How!" cried the poet, "you don't mean to say you are ignorant of the nature of that divine sentiment which elevates and ennobles in so remarkable a degree hem! all humanity!" "Anan!" said Verty, with an inquiring look. Mr. Roundjacket returned this look for some moments, preserving a profound silence. "My young friend," he said at last, "how old are you?" "Eighteen, ma mere says."
