He soon, however, recovered his self-possession, and turning to Hereward, with a look of injured majesty, said, "Ah! my dear Edward," -for the word had become rooted in his mind, instead of the less euphonic name of Hereward, "thou seest how it is even with the greatest, and that the Emperor, in moments of difficulty, is a subject of misconstruction, as well as the meanest burgess of Constantinople; nevertheless, my trust is so great in thee, Edward, that I would have thee believe, that my daughter, Anna Comnena, is not of the temper of her mother, but rather of my own; honouring, thou mayst see, with religious fidelity, the unworthy ties which I hope soon to break, and assort her with other fetters of Cupid, which shall be borne more lightly.
I believe that the merit of Welsh poetry dwells largely, perhaps overlargely, in its intricate technique, and in the euphonic changes which leave the spoken word ready for singing almost without the offices of the composer.
It would, I think, be hard to convince us that the euphonic changes in these words are an improvement to our language. Some four years ago, I was teaching a class in the Manila School of Arts and Trades, and was giving some directions about the word form of English sentences.
Flog me if you like, but don't keep count against me, else I shall run away; and what will you do then?" The language of this people is just as strange as they are themselves. It is based on euphony, from which cause it is very complex, the more especially so as it requires one to be possessed of a negro's turn of mind to appreciate the system, and unravel the secret of its euphonic concord.
This verse is remarkable for its sonorous phrases and the archaic forms of the words. Its translation offers considerable difficulty. xontlachayan, I take to be an imperative form from tlachia, to look, with the euphonic on. The word tlachinolli is from chinoa, to burn.
I was a long time in discovering that this meaningless euphonic name was but the memory of the Isle aux Galets the island of the pebbles. So have the memories been lost in tongues that could not easily frame to pronounce the words they found when they entered that farther valley where France's pioneering is almost forgotten, but where France should be best remembered.
The well-remembered thoroughfares were gone; their names extinct, and superseded by others more euphonic; the buildings, which I had carried in my mind as in a book the thought of meeting which had given me so much pain, had been removed destroyed, and not a brick remained which I could call a friend, or offer one warm tear, in testimony of old acquaintance.
The conquest of Canada in 1759 by the English differed from that of Britain by the Norman French in 1066, in that here the vanquished were allowed to retain their language, customs and full religious liberties, so that, after a lapse of one hundred and fifty years, the Papal service is solemnized with all the pomp and ceremonial of the Vatican, and in the courts, the Quebec Legislature and in Society is heard the euphonic French speech, and, outside of Rome, Canada is considered the chief bulwark of Papacy.
At the little village they first visited they received hospitable treatment. Its inmates are known in our early history as 'the Illini' a word signifying men. The euphonic termination added by the Frenchmen gives us the name Illinois.
Because of the sound of the word he was passionately addicted to the Austrians, and finding there were so few battles in which they were successful he had to invent them in his games. His favourite generals were Prince Eugene, the Archduke Charles and Wallenstein. For euphonic reasons, too, he doted on Turenne.
