His highest moments of production are those of his deepest inner listening in which the trained mind-instrument is quiescent and receptive, its will entirely given over to the greater source within. The forenoons with the little girl before the others came, showed me, among many things, that education should be mainly a happy process. The best and dryest of the human solids is John Stuart Mill.
The pure trance of work, the different reservoirs of power opening so softly; the instrument in pure listening long forenoons passing, without a single instant of self-consciousness, desire, enviousness, without even awareness of the body.... "Every law that makes for man's finer workmanship makes for his higher life. The mastery of self prepares man to make his answer to the world for his being.
Dainty señoritas trip across the way in red-heeled slippers of Cinderella-like proportions, while noisy, laughing, happy children, girls and boys, romp with pet dogs, trundle ribbon-decked hoops, or spin gaudy humming tops. Flaring posters catch the eye, heralding the cruel bull-fight or a performance at the theatre. On Sundays a military band performs here forenoons and evenings.
White; "nay sir, I read no books, but I used to sit whole forenoons a-yawning and poking the fire." Boswelliana, p. 221.

It was rather a relief when snow came to shroud the affable woods, bringing such cold that one might as well be in a schoolroom as any place; when, as Winona put down in her journal, the vale of Newbern was "locked in winter's icy embrace," and poor old Judge Penniman was compelled to while away the long forenoons with his feet on a stock of wood in the kitchen oven.
She never passed beyond the entrance-gates, save on Sunday forenoons, when she went slowly to the little church of St. Croix, and listened drearily, as if he was speaking an unknown tongue, to Father Francis, preaching patience and long-suffering to the end.
Out of eighty or ninety days that we passed in Switzerland there must have been at least ten that were fair, not counting the forenoons before it began to rain, and the afternoons when it cleared up.
Sundays I sometimes went forenoons to the old Catholic Cathedral in the French quarter. I used to walk a good deal in this arrondissement; and I have deeply regretted since that I did not cultivate, while I had such a good opportunity, the chance of better knowledge of French and Spanish Creole New Orleans people.
The captain looked at the printed number beneath the fashion plate and then turned to the description in the text. "'Afternoon gown for miss of sixteen," he read.
