I heard Tilton give this lecture twice, and it was given from start to finish in exactly the same way. It contained much learning had flights of eloquence, bursts of bathos, puffs of pathos, but not a smile in the whole hour and a half. It was faultily faultless, icily regular, splendidly null, dead perfection no more. It was so perfect that some people thought it great.
These were strongly constructed; but, as in the forts at Metemmeh and Shabluka, the embrasures were so faultily constructed that the guns could only be brought to bear upon the portion of the river directly facing them, and the four gunboats passed them without receiving any material damage, and were so able to maintain the bombardment without receiving any fire in return.
Almost faultily fastidious in his Broadway trained tastes, he arrived at the conclusion that she possessed more absolute beauty than any one in his wide circle of acquaintance; but her travelling suit was not cut in the approved reigning style, and the bow of ribbon at her throat did not exactly harmonize with the shade of the feather in her hat, all of which jarred disagreeably.
Greek art, according to Browning, by presenting unattainable ideals of material and mundane perfection, taught men to submit. Early Christian art, even by faultily presenting spiritual ideals, not to be attained on earth but to be pursued through an immortal life, taught men to aspire.
What were they to do? In the morning they would be discovered and killed. For all his inherited size and strength he was, after all, only a little boy a frightened, homesick little boy reasoning faultily from the meager experience of childhood.
Singing may not be a question of how a distorted throat looks in an oblique mirror, yet the knowledge that, because a note is faultily produced, the throat must be distorted, and how, will be of great service to the teacher who wishes to correct the fault, and indispensable to the physician who wishes to eradicate the results of a bad method.
If you play correctly from the start you will form good habits; if you play carelessly and faultily your playing will grow continually worse. If you postpone the attainment of any of these qualities to a later date they are much more difficult to acquire. Always listen while you are playing. Music is intended to be heard.
Ralston with a wistful mist in her faded eyes. "'Faultily faultless, icily regular, splendidly null," scoffed little Mrs. Ermsted upon whose cheeks there bloomed a faint fixed glow. Yes, she was splendid. Even the most hostile had to admit it. On that, the day of her final victory, she surpassed herself.
As they jostled along the edge of a wood that lay between them and the firing some mishap to the front team caused all to alight, whereupon a shell, faultily timed, came tearing through the tree-tops and exploded in the remains of a fence close beyond them.
Locke resided at Montpellier for the benefit of his health, and while his famous 'Essay' lay as yet in the womb of futurity, there happened to be staying in the same pension an English family " "Excuse me," put in my father, "I do not quite gather where these people lodged." "The sentence was faultily constructed, I admit. They were lodging in the same pension as Mr. Locke.
