Then I walked along for a mile, it seemed through a dreary, gray grand rue, where the sunshine was hot, the odors portentous, and the doorsteps garnished with aged fishwives, retired from business, whose plaited linen coifs looked picturesquely white, and their faces picturesquely brown.
A great plague makes him, what with railing against such as leave their cures for fear of infection, and in friendly breaking cake-bread with the fishwives at funerals. He utters a most abominable deal of carduus water, and the conduits cry out, All the learned doctors may cast their caps at him.
But now the poet must be at the whole expense of the poetry in describing one of these positions; the worker is a true Midas to the gold he makes. The poet must describe, as the painter sketches Irish peasant girls and Danish fishwives, adding the beauty, and leaving out the dirt. I come to the west prepared for the distaste I must experience at its mushroom growth.
The lords have been vindicating their claim to a share in common humanity by squabbling like fishwives and all but coming to blows; the bishops must have been scared and scandalized, lords spiritual not being fighting men nowadays. After the play Mr.
It would be suggesting to fishwives that they should study conic sections. Even among the philosophers, I do not believe that anyone apart from Maximus of Tyre has treated of this matter; this is the substance of Maximus' ideas.

And foul personalities came from his lips, according to the bad controversial fashion of his day, which permitted a licence to scholars that we now forbid to fishwives.
"England is truly in a bad way. She is sending out her last reserves!" "But they are the soldiers of Lilliput!" exclaimed others. "It is terrible that they should send these little ones," said kind-hearted fishwives. Under the training of General Pi, who commanded them, they became smart and brisk in the ranks.
The fishwives of Newhaven, more accustomed to measure men than poor little Lady Barbara Sinclair, saw in this man what in point of fact he was a cool, daring devil, than whom none more likely to lead men into mortal danger, or pull them through it, for that matter. They recognized their natural enemy, and collected together against him, like hens at the sight of a hawk.
When the mob demolished the Whitby rendezvous in '93, it was the industrious fishwives of the town who collected the stones used as ammunition on that occasion; and when, again, Lieut.
