"You are right," responded Vavasor; "for when one loves, how it exalts his whole being, yet in the presence of the woman he worships, how small he feels, and how unworthy!" In the human being humility and greatness are not only correlative, but are one and the same condition. But this was beyond Vavasor. For the first time in her life Hester felt, nor knew what it was, a vague pang of jealousy.
In vain the air, heavy with death, creeps over the wood, the rivulet, and the shattered tower; the mind will not recur to the risk of its ignoble tenement; it flies back; it is with the Past! A subtle and speechless rapture fills and exalts the spirit.
It is Faith, that voluntary reposing in the view which naturally presents itself, because it is the only one by which we can fulfil our destination this it is that first gives assent to knowledge, and exalts to certainty and conviction what might otherwise be mere illusion. It is not knowledge, but a determination of the will to let knowledge pass for valid.
Tom Jenkins swears by Bala and abuses Llangollen, and calls its people drunkards, just as a Spaniard exalts his own village and vituperates the next and its inhabitants, whom, though he will not call them drunkards, unless indeed he happens to be a Gallegan, he will not hesitate to term "una caterva de pillos y embusteros."
Eddy exalts the power of spirit above that of matter, the universal goddess, by means of statements which are heroic rather than scientific. Matter does not exist. God is all, and God is spirit; therefore all is spirit. Matter is not spirit, but is a fiction which only exists for those who persist in believing in it against the evidence of facts.
"Caste has kept me from going abroad until now," he told me, "but I have made up my mind to let it interfere no longer. Just as soon as business permits, I shall go to Europe and possibly to America." Christianity is another mightily effective foe of Caste. As in the olden days, it exalts the lowly and humbles the proud.
Thomson enriches his landscape with here and there a figure, drawn with more correctness than warmth, with more nature than spirit, and exalts it everywhere by moral allusion and religious reference. The scenery of Cowper is perpetually animated with sketches of character, enlivened with portraits from real life, and the exhibition of human manners and passions.
She is the artificial production of a state that exalts her so long as she sacrifices daily and hourly to the artificial. Therefore she sides with Mrs. He placed himself to the right of Mrs. Burman, for the world to behold the couple: and he lent the world a sigh of disgust.
Nor is it to be wondered at, my lords, that posts of honour and profit have been bestowed upon the friends of the administration; for who enriches or exalts his enemies? who will increase the influence that is to be exerted against him, or add strength to the blow that is levelled at himself?
Leighton Douglass handed to his cousin a bunch of the delicate lilac blossoms of acanthus, tied with a wisp of some ribbon-like grass, and taking off his spectacles, replied: "Leo unduly exalts my memory at the expense of her own; and we have all levied heavily on her fund of topographical accuracy."
