So Tennyson, the greatest of our living poets, eschews as much as possible, in his later writings, these same epithets, except in cases where they are themselves objective and pictorial in short, the very things which he wants you to look at, as, for instance: And into silver arrows break The sailing moon in creek and cove.
Shelley, too, eschews wealth, declaring, in Epipsychidion, Our simple life wants little, and true taste Hires not the pale drudge luxury to waste The scene it would adorn. Indeed he often has a superstitious fear of wealth, lest it take away his delight in song. In Markham's The Shoes of Happiness, only the poet who is too poor to buy shoes possesses the secret of joy.
This is the country of low prices, where one eschews luxuries and comes down to first principles. Cab fare is five cents per mile for ginrikshaws, which have been introduced from Japan, and are generally used in Shanghai. At Tokio I remember cab fare was even cheaper. We paid only eight cents per hour for a man and his carriage, or seventy-five cents for the entire day.
Archibald Alison; and in Blair, Henry, John Home, Sir Harry Moncreiff, and others, Presbytery made an excellent contribution, the more to be admired that it came from a church which eschews rank, and boasts of poverty.
She owned the paper; she could say what she pleased in its columns. Instead of rebuking her editor, she lets him rebuke those "good people" for objecting to the claim. It may be that "Christian Science eschews divine rights in human beings," and forbids worship of any but "one God, one Christ"; but, if that is the case, it looks as if Mrs.

However, the stench was becoming unbearable a stench of misery as when the human animal eschews all cleanliness to wallow in filth. And matters were made worse by the smell from a small, improvised market the emanations of the rotting fruit, cooked and sour vegetables, and stale fried fish which a few poor women had set out on the ground amidst a throng of famished, covetous children.
Linnet's hour was nine o'clock when she was studying, and look at her and Nannie Rheid." "But I'm not getting through to be married, as Linnet was." "How do you know?" asked Miss Prudence. "Not intentionally, then," smiled Marjorie, opening her eyes this time. "I'm not the old maid that eschews matrimony; all I want is to choose for you and Prue."
"Tea or coffee, sir?" says head waiter, coming round to Tom. "Coffee, please," says Tom, with his mouth full of muffin and kidney. Coffee is a treat to him, tea is not. Our coachman, I perceive, who breakfasts with us, is a cold beef man. He also eschews hot potations, and addicts himself to a tankard of ale, which is brought him by the barmaid.
So cordial is his detestation of food and bed that he not only eschews them himself, but withholds them from his wife, driving the poor woman to a lingering death from tuberculosis, while he himself succumbs to delirium tremens. In fact, excessive abstemiousness, fostering digestive disorders, has been alleged to be the secret of the copious melancholy verse in the last century.
