A very large proportion of the two thousand five hundred notes which the editor boasts of having added to those of Boswell and Malone consists of the flattest and poorest reflections, reflections such as the least intelligent reader is quite competent to make for himself, and such as no intelligent reader would think it worth while to utter aloud.
I composed the flattest letter ever written, requesting the princess to meet me about midnight in the library, that I might have the satisfaction of taking my leave of her; and this done, my spirits rose, and it struck me my father was practically wise, and I looked on Peterborough as an almost supernatural being. If Ottilia refused to come, at least I should know my fate.
A crisis was rapidly rushing upon him, from which he knew he would emerge with neither money nor credit; all his recent ventures had fallen flat, and flattest of all had gone the wonderful new breakfast food, Pipenta, on the advertisement of which he had sunk such huge sums. It could scarcely be called a drug in the market; people bought drugs, but no one bought Pipenta.
As soon as the furrow in the tongue shows itself, the tone must sound right; for then the mass of the tongue is kept away from the throat, and, since its sides are raised, it is kept out of the way of the tone. Sensation of the form in rapid upward passages. It lies flattest in the lowest tones because the larynx then is in a very low position, and thus is out of its way.
Beginning with a motion which he who made it did not wish to succeed ending with a vote by which one-half of the parties to that vote meant the flattest contradiction of all that was contemplated by the rest.
He was an anomaly, all taken: he had a voice as high and sweet-toned as a woman singer's; he had an air of extreme brutality and with the animals on board, a ship cat and a canary belonging to Philippine Charlie he was all gentleness; he had by all odds the largest, flattest feet that Kendric had ever seen attached to a man and yet on them he moved quickly and lightly and not without grace; he held the New Moon in a sort of ghostly fear, his eyes all whites when he vowed she was "ha'nted," and yet he loved her with all of the heart in his big black body.
There are lines in more than one Eclogue which remind one in everything but their languor of the flattest parts of Lucretius. Contemporary critics even went so far as to say that the language here and there was simply not Latin. Yet granted that all this and more than all this were true, it does not touch that specific Virgilian charm of which these poems first disclosed the secret.
And the attempt of the Eugenists and other fatalists to treat all men as irresponsible is the largest and flattest folly in philosophy. The Eugenist has to treat everybody, including himself, as an exception to a rule that isn't there.
Wait a bit, I promise you a journey, the most prosaic, the most homely, the flattest flat as the steppes of Kara Koum, which the Grand Transasiatic traverses in Turkestan, and the plains of the desert of Gobi it crosses in China " "Well, we shall see, for I travel for the pleasure of my readers." "And I travel merely for my own business."
Dinner had been cooked on board the Smeaton and sent hot to the men; and this, the first dinner ever eaten on the Bell Rock, was the second of the memorable events before referred to. The boat soon ran into the creek and landed the baskets containing the food on Hope's Wharf. The men at once made a rush at the viands, and bore them off exultingly to the flattest part of the rock they could find.
