Enormous depths of space are pictured in my brain, through my optic nerve; and what eludes the magic mirror of my retina, my mind can conceive, apprehend, make its own. "When Berkeley said there was no matter" it mattered greatly what he said. Nothing can be more certain than that, apart from percipience, there is no matter that matters.
Michael Johnson was a man of a large and robust body, and of a strong and active mind; yet there was in him a mixture of that disease the nature of which eludes the most minute inquiry, though the effects are well known to be a weariness of life, an unconcern about those things which agitate the greater part of mankind, and a general sensation of gloomy wretchedness.
There may seem to be some measure of irony in thus calling forth an intangible happiness where so much real sorrow prevails; a justice that may well be ideal in the bosom of an injustice, alas! only too material; a love that eludes the grasp in the midst of palpable hatred and callousness.
The door opened and Lord Wetherby entered. He looked fatigued. He sank into a chair and sighed. 'I cannot get it, he said. 'It eludes me. He lapsed into a sombre silence. 'What can't you get? said Lady Wetherby, cautiously. 'The expression the expression I want to get into the child's eyes in my picture, "Innocence". 'But you have got it. Lord Wetherby shook his head.
My experience, however, bids me say that the pretty snake has the typical dread of the family of man, which dread expresses itself in frenzied efforts to get out of the way when suddenly molested. For the most part it lives in a neat hole, oubliette-shaped, and in its eagerness to locate and reach its retreat it darts about with a nimbleness which almost eludes perception.
The creative social environment, since it eludes sense, must be represented symbolically. Ambiguous limits of a native country, geographical and moral. Sentimental and political patriotism. The earth and the race the first objects of rational loyalty. Race, when distinct, the greatest of distinctions. "Pure" races may be morally sterile. True nationality direction on a definite ideal.
It was a shadow that seemed to be born of our own world some threatening spirit of earth hovering over them. "I cannot remember; it eludes me. Yet it is because I remember but a little of it that I say those drums may not be taps for us." As though his words had been a cue, the sounds again burst forth no longer muffled nor faint.
The word bison is from the Anglo-Saxon wesend, but beyond Pliny its ultimate origin eludes all research. Marmot, through various distortions, looms up from Latin times as mus montanus, literally a mountain mouse. Badger is from badge, in allusion to the bands of white fur on its forehead. The verb meaning to badger is derived from the old cruel sport of baiting badgers with dogs.
He is absolutely good for nothing. Business tires him; reading fatigues him; the public service interferes with his pleasures, or restrains his freedom. His life must be passed on a bed of down. If he is employed, moments are as hours to him if he is amused, hours are as moments. In general, his whole time eludes him, he lets it glide unheeded, like water under a bridge.
But welcome now the solemn night, When watchful stars are gleaming high, For though thy form eludes my sight, I know thy gentle spirit's nigh. O! dear one, now I feel thy power, 'Tis sweet to rest when toil is o'er, But sweeter far that blessed hour When fond hearts meet to part no more.
