No species of crime has ever been committed in the worst rookeries about Seven Dials that has not been also done in the face of that rustic calm which still, in spite of all, we look on with a tender, half-mournful yearning, and associate with peace.
The emperor made his preparations to depart, and then, in compliance with the requisitions of court etiquette, he sought his mother, to obtain her consent to his journey. Maria Theresa received her son with that half-mournful tenderness which lent such an indescribable fascination to her appearance and manners.
This reminds me of my Uncle Maurice! Whenever I have need to strengthen myself in all that is good, I turn my thoughts to him; I see again the gentle expression of his half-smiling, half-mournful face; I hear his voice, always soft and soothing as a breath of summer! The remembrance of him protects my life, and gives it light. He, too, was a saint and martyr here below.
Inside that rolling box, turning towards that recovered presence with her heart too full for words she felt the desire of tears she had managed to keep down abandon her suddenly, her half-mournful, half-triumphant exultation subside, every fibre of her body, relaxed in tenderness, go stiff in the close look she took at his face. He was different. There was something.
Does the little brook still flow in the meadow below? And do you understand the pine-trees? Do they tell any tales?" He asked it with a half-mournful gayety. He asked as if he both longed and feared that she should say, "Yes, they have told me: I know all." The murmurs of the singing came floating out to them as they sat. Hope was happy and trustful.

Shakespeare could not in a narrative poem have preferred the varying passions of one character to the characters of many persons. Tennyson was "nettled at first," his son says, "by these captious remarks of the 'indolent reviewers, but afterwards he would take no notice of them except to speak of them in a half-pitiful, half- humorous, half-mournful manner."
Something flashed through the darkening waters not a stone's throw from the steamer. I leaned forward, watching it intently. Two silvery fish were making a succession of little leaps and plunges along the surface of the sea, their bodies catching the last tints of sunset, like flashing jewels. I looked at the tillicum quickly. He was watching me a world of anxiety in his half-mournful eyes.
The young wife, attired in a burgher dress, stood with her bewitching eyes and a melancholy, half-tender, half-mournful smile on her lips. Adam was not permitted to enter the studio again until the portrait was completed. When Ulrich at last unveiled the picture, the old man unable longer to control himself burst into loud sobs and fell upon his son's breast.
You will understand why the little poem seems to me so fine, therefore. This water I also see; but not in me lies the power of the due expression of its influence. There was another pleasant aspect in Newport, of persons. The band in the shadow of the camp was playing very sweetly airs proper for that fading light, half-mournful, half-tender and hopeful.
