It does not come of power or riches. Whoso has known it, he to whom it has been revealed " He stopped short, surprised at himself; then laughed as he shook his head and exclaimed, "Behold, the tragedy hero in the purple with one foot in an idyl!" and wished the assembled company pleasant slumbers for the short remains of the night.
The exquisite poetic idyl of a bird's life and love is it not a thing to put us inferior creatures to shame for are we ever as true to our vows as the lark to his mate? are we as sincere in our thanksgivings for the sunlight as the merry robin who sings as blithely in the winter snow as in the flower-filled mornings of spring? Nay not we!
When this brother comes back to Japan he is the touch of melodrama in the pretty idyl he is maddened by an acquired Occidental sense of his sister's disgrace in her marriage, and falls into a fever and dies out of the story, which closes with the lasting happiness of the young wife and husband. There is enough incident, but of the kind that is characterized and does not characterize.
Even Cardinal Newman's Apologia, self-restrained and severely controlled as it is, shows no doubtful traces of the conflicts and sorrows out of which he believed himself to have emerged to a calmer and surer light. But M. Renan's story is an idyl, not a tragedy. It is sunny, placid, contented.

I am glad, for how could my bite and her idyl agree?
"The world is very intolerant of idyls, Jerry." They had reached a road which overlooked the river. Long, cool shadows brushed their faces as they rushed on from orchard to meadow, all redolent of sweet odors. "Why?" "Because they're a reproach." "Friendship is no idyl, Una, with us. It's more like reality, isn't it?" "I hope so." "Don't you believe it?" "Yes, I think I do."
It was the first thing of the kind he had ever read to her, for in the first novel he had lent her the love interest had been very slight and subordinate. This was a beautiful, passionate idyl exquisitely told. He read it to her, lying in the grass at her feet; she listened with her hands clasped over her knee and her eyes cast down.
This is rather a lyric than an idyl, being an expression of that singular passion which existed between men in historical Greece. The next idyl, like the Myrmidons of Aeschylus, attributes the same manners to mythical and heroic Greece.
