It plagues one's life out; thirty years Have I had dinning in my ears Ireland wants this and that and t'other; And to this hour one nothing hears But the same vile eternal bother. While of those countless things she wanted, Thank God, but little has been granted. The list of writers of humorous verse in Ireland is a long one, but a catalogue of ephemera.
Human nature cannot afford to follow out these loud inanities; and, at a certain distance of time, is bound to forget them, as ephemera of no account in the general sum. Difficult to say what profit human nature could get out of such transaction.
I'll wager anything you want that 'Ephemera' is accepted either on the first or second offering." "There's just one thing that prevents me from taking you." Brissenden waited a moment. "The thing is big the biggest I've ever done. I know that. It's my swan song. I am almighty proud of it. I worship it. It's better than whiskey.
However, whether Miss Delmar be jealous or not of the man who invented 'Ephemera, it is certain that she, like thousands of others, is fascinated by his work, and that the day may come when she will try to write lines like his." Ministers began to preach sermons against "Ephemera," and one, who too stoutly stood for much of its content, was expelled for heresy.
But even the buzzing of the midge, though the insect may be harmless compared with its more poison-laden fellows, can divert the mind from more important things. To disregard entirely the world of ephemera, and their several actions and effects were to deny the entirety of the scheme of creation.
We have taken from The Railway Record, the amount of new railway schemes advertised in a single week, at the beginning of October. The number of the schemes is FORTY; and they comprehend the ephemera of England and Ireland only Scotland, which, during that period, was most emulously at work, seems, by some unaccountable accident, to have been overlooked.
Still farther was it from entering the field of her vision that possibly some of the good which distinguished George's unbelief from that of his brother ephemera of the last century, was owing to the deeper working of that leaven which he denounced as the poisonous root whence sprung all the evil diseases that gnawed at the heart of society. One night she sat late, making her aunt a cap.
"The man who sells his inland lots at a profit, secured by credit, fancies himself enriched, and he extends his manner of living in proportion; the boy from the country becomes a merchant, or what is here called a merchant, and obtains a credit in Europe a hundred times exceeding his means, and caters to these fancied wants; and thus is every avenue of society thronged with adventurers, the ephemera of the same wide-spread spirit of reckless folly.
But even the dictionary is not large enough for him, and he extends it this way and that, his daring neology creating consternation among the critic flies and other ephemera. He wrote as he thought, hence his style could not be other than natural. That of Aytoun was formed in the schools, principally modeled by masters made to fit a procrustean bed and was, therefore, eminently artificial.
Might not as well some scientific member of an insect tribe of ephemera, whom ancestral tradition, confirmed by personal experience, had assured that an eight-day clock had already gone on for six days, pronounce it to be a law of the clock's nature that it should go on for ever without being again wound up?
