With hearty laughter at the stupid irritations of self-conscious virtue, with ironic scorn for the frigid Puritanism of mechanical morality, Mark Twain enraptures that innumerable company of the sophisticated who have chafed under the omnipresent influence of a "good example" and stilled the painless pangs of an unruly conscience.
Elisaveta and Trirodov walked with the crowd behind the coffin. They spoke of that which enraptures those who seek rapture and frightens those who seek repose. Poignant were Elisaveta's impressions as she stepped upon the sharp cobblestones of the dusty, littered pavement. The road was long. The austere harmony was kept up for some time. At last the cemetery was reached.
It seems so insane that folks get angry at the mere thought of it, yet it enraptures us and gives us gayety and health, and the courage to achieve victory. We are opening the road, we are giving the example, we are carrying our dear old France yonder, taking to ourselves a huge expanse of virgin land, which will become a province.
This is the reason why the aesthetical judgment leaves us free, and delights and enraptures us. It is because the mere conception of this faculty of willing in an absolute manner, the mere idea of this moral aptitude, gives us in itself a consciousness of a manifest advantage over the sensuous.
And I'm like her. I care for decorum too much to get the brain to act on Colney's behaviour; but I see it enraptures him and may be comprehensible to the topsy-turvy. Victor rubbed hands. It was he who filled Colney's bag of satiric spite.
The good Frenchman wants to fight: because he thinks he is provoked to it by Prussia; because the natural condition of man is savagery; because war in itself contains a mystic element which enraptures crowds. Have we returned to the wars of races? I fear so. It is the desire to fight for the sake of fighting.
"Always, since our first meeting, I have longed to hold you in my arms like this and to feel that you were wholly and completely mine," he murmured, as he caressed Myra's cheek with his lips. "You are very beautiful, my sweet love. The sweetness and loveliness of you entrances and enraptures my heart.
"My beloved Amanda, the charm of your angelic features enraptures my regard." It is earnest; but it's not the way those things are done. And what visions such books recall of the days when they were read, the girls in pinafores, the boys in roundabouts, the elders looking languishingly on, when the reader comes to tender passages! And was not a certain Mary Jane another Ellinor?
Even here here, where the thief, the libertine, the murderer, have left their foot-prints in the dust here, on this spot, where the shadows of death surround me, and from which I see my early grave in an unanointed soil open to receive me even here, encircled by these terrors, that hope which first beckoned me to the perilous sea on which I have been wrecked, still consoles, animates, and enraptures me.
