"Like the poison vines of the forest it touches all who come near it with fatal effect. The tribe of the Hurons is infected with it, and they are becoming mere tillers of the soil miserable earth-worms! Men were made to be free as the bounding deer or the flowing stream, but they have paled and weakened, they have become wretched grovellers on the ground."
Because once a woman has climbed up with her children, she'll find plenty of grovellers ready to support her and suffocate any defiant spirit. And women will sacrifice eleven men, fathers, husbands, brothers and lovers, for one baby or for her own female self-conceit " "She will that," said Aaron.
How dare you speak of angels in connection with your sinful fellow-beings mere' said Mrs Varden, glancing at herself in a neighbouring mirror, and arranging the ribbon of her cap in a more becoming fashion 'mere worms and grovellers as we are!
What master ever equalled it now? no fault now in those colours, no false tints in that light and shade! See how that flame darts up and soars! that flame is my spirit! Look is it not restless? does it not aspire bravely? why, all its brother flames are grovellers to it! and now, why don't you look! it falters fades droops and ha ha ha! poor idler, the fuel is consumed and it is darkness."

"Fools!".. he muttered under his breath, "For you, and such as you, the wisest sages toil in vain! ... on you Art wastes her treasures of suggestive loveliness! ... low grovellers in earth, ye have no eyes for heaven! O ignorant, ungenerous, fickle hypocrites, whose ruling passion is the greed of gold!
But hallo! our runaway friend is making off with them. What grovellers architects are! Good riddance. He'll have to look for us when he wants us! Dubuche, who had not seen his friends, had just offered his arm to the mother, and was going off, explaining the pictures with gestures typical of exaggerated politeness.
But let us stoop to take the wretch as he is, and make the best of him, since you are destined to stoop, to keep grovellers and worldlings in countenance. He had not been guilty of a direct indecency to you. Nor dare he not so much of a devil as that comes to neither.
