Few are more exhilarating and pleasant to those who have tried them. Give us the strong pull through an open bay before all boating on placid lakes or rivers. The long, well-timed stroke becomes a mere mechanical effort, leaving the mind at liberty to enjoy the sense of freedom, the tonic salt-breeze, and the enlivening scenes of the sea.
How it came to pass that Lamps sang comic songs, of his own composition, to his bed-ridden daughter Phoebe, by way of enlivening her solitude, and how Phoebe, while manipulating the threads on her lace-pillow, as though she were playing a musical instrument, taught her little band of children to chant to a pleasant tune the multiplication-table, and so fix it and other useful knowledge indelibly upon the tablets of their memory, the Author-Reader would then relate, as no other Reader, however gifted, who was not also the Author, would have been allowed to do, supposing this latter had had the hardihood to attempt the relation.
The ramparts were covered with soldiers, who, armed merely with their bayonets, stood grouped in careless attitudes some with their wives leaning on their arms others with their children upraised, that they might the better observe the enlivening sports without some lay indolently with their legs overhanging the works others, assuming pugilistic attitudes, dealt their harmless blows at each other, and all were blended together, men, women, and children, with that heedlessness of thought that told how little of distrust existed within their breasts.
The declining afternoon enlivening the dark waters of the Grand Canal with its opalescent spangles; a gondola passing hers in the opposite direction; and inside, a pair of blue, imperious eyes, shining, under thick eyebrows, with the cold glint of steel eyes that could never be mistaken for common eyes, for the divine fire of the Elect, of the demi-God, was bright within them!
"He will have a heavy miss of such a paladin as you are, if the truce should break off," said the merchant, and threw a look at his own companion, who answered him with one of the downcast lowering smiles which gleamed along his countenance, enlivening it as a passing meteor enlivens a winter sky.
He had formed his own opinion of Don Luis and told it to everyone in the upper cloister. He was a simpleton who only knew how to play melancholy ditties on his harmonium, without ever thinking of enlivening the poor people in the Claverias by playing something to which they could dance, as the niece of Silver Stick had asked him.
I have not life enough for two; I wish I had. It is not very enlivening to meet a fellow-creature whose expression and accents say, "You are the hair that breaks the camel's back of my endurance, you are the last drop that makes my cup of woe run over"; persons whose heads drop on one side like those of toothless infants, whose voices recall the tones in which our old snuffling choir used to wail out the verses of: "Life is the time to serve the Lord."
"I’d rather be at home when I try experiments," she said, decidedly; and the waiter carried off her cocktail and gave her food that was good beyond question thereafter. The dinner went with zest. It was an enlivening party that consumed it, and what they consumed with it enlivened them still more.
The Hutchinson Family, celebrated vocalists fellow-passengers often came to my rude forecastle deck, and sung their sweetest songs, enlivening the place with eloquent music, as well as spirited conversation, during the voyage. In two days after leaving Boston, one part of the ship was about as free to me as another.
The nasty, hateful thing! "If Bessie Dole or Mayme Leary could only see this dump!" she added, looking over the room again. "Anyhow, I've made 'em give me the best they've got. I'll show 'em how to treat a real relation that comes to see 'em." Supper time came and passed no more cheerfully than had the midday meal. The society of the old people was anything but enlivening for Ida May.
