Imogene was only a child when Waldershare first became a lodger. She used to bring his breakfast to his drawing-room and arrange his table. He encountered her one day, and he requested her to remain, and always preside over his meal. He fell in love with her name, and wrote her a series of sonnets, idealising her past, panegyrising her present, and prophetic of her future life.
Different æsthetic endowments may be compared in quantity or force. Authority of vital over verbal judgments. Tastes differ also in purity or consistency. They differ, finally, in pertinence, and in width of appeal. Art may grow classic by idealising the familiar, or by reporting the ultimate. Good taste demands that art should be rational, i.e., harmonious with all other interests.
Yes, I'll be as happy as she'll let me." And he resumed his idealising. At his time of life idealisation is still not a difficult or a long process. And in this case there was an ample physical basis for it and far more of a mental basis than young imagination demands. He took the draught she so frankly offered him; he added a love potion of his own concocting, and drank it off. He was in love.
The difference was through the difference of Boston and New York in everything: the difference between idealising and the realising tendency.
Perhaps, after all, he was a little conceited, but then it was not an offensive conceit, but one born of a confidence in himself which was fairly justified. She had not liked his manner of disparaging his first work, and she rather distrusted his idealising theories; still, she knew that clever people often find it difficult to do justice to their ideas in words.
Being, becoming; becoming, being; idealising, realising; realising, idealising. Out of London at last; at last, though after only two months!
But the process of idealising him went on: still incomplete in Malory's compilation, where he is often rather otiose and far from royal. Tennyson, for his purpose, completed the idealisation. As to Guinevere, she was not idealised in the old Welsh rhyme "Guinevere, Giant Ogurvan's daughter, Naughty young, more naughty later."
For their crude and pathetic literality, their image of the Godhead actually giving Himself, as they emphatically say, to be chewed by the poor and humble man and the serf, show them to have been most especially born, abortions though they be, in the mightiest throes of mystical feeling, after the incubation of whole nations, born of the great mediæval marriage, sublime, grotesque, morbid, yet health-bringing, between abstract idealising religious thought and the earthly affections of lovers and parents a strange marriage, like that of St.
I should have thought myself that the difference was alphabetical enough. It has nothing to do with the idealising of war or the materialising of trade; it is a distinction in the primary purpose. There might be much more elegance and poetry in a shop under William Morris than in a regiment under Lord Kitchener. But the difference is not in the persons or the atmosphere, but in the aim.
Presently she heard the horse's hoofs, and looked up, so that the faint light fell full upon her face, idealising it, and making its passion-breathing beauty seem more of Heaven than of earth.
