Love is an illusion, if you will; but always through this illusion, alone, has the next generation been rendered possible, and all endearing human idiocies, including "questions of the day," have been maintained. Love, then, is no trifle. And literature, mimicking life at a respectful distance, may very reasonably be permitted an occasional reference to the corner-stone of all that exists.
An almost feverish look of vitality had come into her face, which was faintly pencilled by the fingers of sorrow. "Sometimes I think I hate the disintegrating drama more than I despise the vulgar idiocies which, after all, never really touch human life," she continued. "No doubt it is sheer weakness on my part to be affected by it. But I am.
I knew very well that I was committing a folly; love is responsible for many such idiocies. But since this woman deceived me I loathed the cruel medallion. I can not tell with what sadness I removed that iron circlet, and what a sigh escaped me when it was gone. "Ah! poor wounds!" I said, "you will soon heal, but what balm is there for that other deeper wound?"
Then the ducal estate with the debts would seem to my parents in their green old age and to my sister such a burden that they would raise a wail to heaven. I was completely cleaned out over the move. Ah, if you could come and see us! In the first place it would be very delightful and interesting to see you; and in the second, your advice would save us from a thousand idiocies.
It's all guzzle and feed and finery, and nobody cares a copper about anything that matters " "About Cape to Cairo, eh?" "Byng, that was one of my idiocies. But you think over what I say, just the same. I'm right. We're rotten cotton stuff now in these isles. We've got fatty degeneration of the heart, and in all the rest of the organs too." Again Byng shook him by the hand warmly.
But not he she was the sufferer, and she whipped up a sensation of wincing at the flames they fell to, and at their void of existence, committing sentimental idiocies worthy of a lovesick girl, consciously to escape the ominous thought, which her woman's perception had sown in her, that he too chafed at a marriage no marriage: was true in fidelity, not true through infidelity, as she had come to be.
Not all of them, however. Within, a young man with ginger hair and laughing eyes, sprang from nowhere, pounced at Kate, floated her away. Mrs. Austen, Margaret, Lennox and Paliser moved on. In one room there was dancing; in another, a stage. It was in the first room that Kate was abducted. On the stage in the room beyond, a fat woman, dressed in green and gauze, was singing faded idiocies.
But there were just five people, perhaps, who would have resisted him... and the old devil put them on the Supreme Council, to waste their time in watching each other. Idiots that we are, he planned the whole of our idiocies! Sunday knew that the Professor would chase Syme through London, and that Syme would fight me in France.
They were no longer in smiling confidence. Mrs. Herriton was off on tactics of her own tactics which might be beyond or beneath him. His remark offended her. "Up to? I am wondering whether I ought not to adopt the child. Is that sufficiently plain?" "And this is the result of half-a-dozen idiocies of Miss Abbott?" "It is. I repeat, she has been extremely impertinent.
He lighted his cigar and grinned at Isabelle. "The city delusion is one of the chief idiocies of our day. City people encourage the idea that you can't get on without their society. Man was not meant to live herded along sidewalks. The cities breed the diseases for us doctors, that is their one great occupation."
