Pipa curtsied in silence, and closed the marchesa's door. Midnight had struck from the church-clock at Corellia. The strokes seemed to come slower by night than day, and sounded hollower. Hours ago the last light had gone out. The moon had set behind the cleft summits of La Pagna. Distant thunder had died away among the rocks. The night was close and still.
Of course he told me the story as a joke, and I was rather disgusted, but I'm glad he did so now. That was an extreme case, I know such things don't occur one time in ten thousand, no doubt but it's an illustration of what I mean when I say that the finer the illusion produced the hollower the sham that produces it."
They knew they had to die, so there was no reason for saving it. "It's wonderful!" said the willow-tree. "If only I knew where all this good fortune comes from!" "Never mind about that: just take it as it comes," said the elder-bush. "You will have a fine old age," said the wild rose-bush. "You're getting hollower and hollower," said the oak. "Remember what I told you about my poor old uncle."
I think it must be better to make an end of it than to stand and get hollower day by day." "We all cling to life," said the willow-tree sadly. "And what will become of my boarders?" "They may be thankful that they lived so long," said the wild rose-bush. "Let's first see what happens," said the elder-bush. "I have been through times that looked worse still and have escaped for all that."
He had, as Wolf guessed, used the iron bed support as an implement. He had at once recognised that it would be impossible to break through the principal external wall; the other walls, however, might be expected to be considerably less strong, and they sounded hollower when he tapped them. Findeisen knew that one of them merely divided his cell from another, and so was useless for his purpose.
They who have drunk of this deep fountain of gladness will not express their joy in boisterous laughter, which is the hollower the louder it is, and the less lasting the more noisy, but will manifest itself 'in the depth and not the tumult of the soul. Nor must we forget that 'My joy' co-existed with a profound experience of sorrow to which no human sorrow was ever like.
The mischievous zeal for theological proselytising has led to thousands of such hollow and degrading performances, but it may safely be said that none of them was ever hollower than this. Rousseau avows that he had been brought up in the heartiest abhorrence of the older church, and that he never lost this abhorrence.
The admission is followed by a sudden, sharp comment, to which the Corinthians' knowledge that they knew laid them open. Swift as the thrust of a spear comes flashing 'Knowledge puffeth up. Puffed-up things are swollen by wind only, and the more they are inflated the hollower and emptier they are; and such a sharp point as Paul's saying shrivels them.
'Which of them opens the chest of drawers in your master's bed-chamber facing the window? He glanced at Dangerfield, and thought that he was smiling wider, and his jaws looked hollower, as he repeated 'If she does not know it, I'll be happy to show it you. With a surly nod, Mr. Lowe requited the prisoner's urbanity, and followed Mrs.
In vain we shall seek to cheat our souls and to fill a void which cannot be filled by the manufacture of artificial religions and the affectation of a spiritual language to which, however persistently and fervently it may be used, no realities correspond. If one of these cults could get itself established, in less than a generation it would become hollower than the hollowest of ecclesiasticisms.
