But he is not true to the cause he espouses. When in Washington he went to the Secretary of War and betrays the very people with whom he had been fighting; tells all he knows of the strength, position and designs of the Confederates.
Warmly espouses the lady's cause. Nothing but vanity and nonsense in the wild pursuits of libertines. For his own sake, for his family's sake, and for the sake of their common humanity, he beseeches him to do this lady justice. LETTER XXXVI. Lord M. to Mr. Belford. A proverbial letter in the lady's favour. LETTER XXXVII. Lovelace to Belford. He ludicrously turns Belford's arguments against him.
Here those who are inside are very happy, and those who are outside do not think of entering." Another said to me, "The Dutch woman does not marry the man; she espouses matrimony." This, which is true of the Hague, an elegant city to which there comes a great influx of French civilization, is even truer of the other towns, where the ancient customs have been more strictly adhered to.
He is drunken and bestial, he is a parasite of the worst description, for he preys alike on the benevolent and upon the poor wretches whose cause he espouses. He assumes many names, he changes his addresses adroitly, and ticks off very carefully the names and addresses of people he has defrauded.
However, M. Laboulaye is in perfect accord with himself when he adds, "Possession of the soil rests solely upon force until society takes it in hand, and espouses the cause of the possessor;" and, a little farther, "The right of property is not natural, but social. The laws not only protect property: they give it birth," &c.
He would have taken calamity to him, to all that was purest, most vast, in his soul; and misfortune, like water, espouses the form of the vase that contains it. Antoninus, we say, would have brought resignation to bear; but this is a word that too often conceals the true working of a noble heart. There is no soul so petty but what it too may believe that it is resigned.
Author travels to Paris to promote the abolition in France; attends the committees of the Friends of the Negroes. Counter-attempts of the committee of White Colonists. An account of the deputies of Colour. Meeting at the Duke de la Rochefoucauld's. Mirabeau espouses the cause; canvasses the National Assembly. Distribution of the section of the slave-ship there. Character of Brissot.
"She espouses the dowager's side; upholds the two children in their petty tyranny. No one in the house takes my part, or my children's." "That is just like Margaret. Do you remember how you and I used to dread her domineering spirit when we were girls? It's time I came, I think, to set things right." "Laura, neither you nor any one else can set things right. They have been wrong too long.
For the decree is, 'that such an one shall make choice of, or do some particular thing freely. And whoever pretends to deny, that whatever is done or chosen, whether good or indifferent, is so done or chosen, or, at least, may be so, espouses an absurdity. I fear, I fear, that this is a sophism not worthy of Archbishop Leighton.
He is of humble origin, as is Gorky, and being of a consumptive tendency, he lives in the Crimea. He began as a journalist. His photograph reveals him as a young man of a fine, sensitive type, truly an apostle of pity and pain. He passionately espouses the cause of the poor and downtrodden, as his extraordinary revolutionary short stories The Millionaire among the rest show.
