It wasn't, however, that one mightn't without disloyalty to that scheme of profit seek impressions further afield though indeed I may best say of such a matter as the long pilgrimage to the pictured convent of Monte Oliveto that it but played on the same fine chords as the overhanging, the far-gazing Lizza.
So have I seen Passion and Vanity stamping the living magnanimous earth, but the earth did not alter her tides and her seasons for that. Meanwhile Stubb, the third mate, betrayed no such far-gazing solicitudes.
Yes, he could see that she remembered. Dear, sweet Sancie! There was bravado here on his part, and nervousness to be discerned beneath it; for it is most certain that her reverie was not exactly as he would have it.

They pressed onwards to Piccadilly Circus, where the only normal and cheerful living creatures were the van horses and the flower-women; and up Regent Street, through crowds of rapt and mystical women and romantical men who had apparently wandered out of a play by Henrik Ibsen.

She had met plenty of poets, so called, before, and had, for the most part, found them insignificant looking men with an enormous opinion of themselves, and a suave, condescending contempt for all others of their craft; but this being, this stately, kingly creature with the noble head, and far-gazing, luminous eyes, this man, whose every gesture was graceful, whose demeanor was more royal than that of many a crowned monarch, whose voice had such a singular soft thrill of music in its tone, he was a personage for whom she had not been prepared, and in whose presence she felt curiously embarrassed and almost ill at ease.
