Then came the brilliant follower of Gogol, Ivan Turgenev. In him Russian literary art reached its climax, and the art of the modern novel as well. He is not only the greatest master of prose style that Russia has ever produced; he is the only Russian who has shown genius in Construction. Perhaps no novels in any language have shown the impeccable beauty of form attained in the works of Turgenev.
Brinnaria's playing on the water-organ was similar to the piano music of a modern girl who has mostly taught herself and who plays largely by ear; Terentia played it as a born genius in our days plays her piano, with impeccable exactitude, inimitable individuality and compelling charm.
But if God could not make man impeccable, why did he give himself the pains to make man, whose nature must necessarily be corrupted, and who must consequently offend God? On the other hand, if God himself could not make human nature impeccable, by what right does he punish men for not being impeccable?
"So am I," replied Carlotta, not to be outdone in politeness. She sat bolt upright, most correctly, on the edge of a chair, and responded monosyllabically to Judith's questions. Her demeanour could not have been more impeccable had she been trained in a French convent.
The surface water and generally the sewage for we are very far yet from having discovered a drain-pipe which is impeccable in respect of leakage soak through the porous cap down to the clay and lie there to rise again not at the Last Day by any means, but on the evening of the very first one that's been hot enough to cause evaporation." "Do they, though?" said Lord Fallowfeild.
The art of verse was lost in rhetoric; the noble prose, invented by the Elizabethans, and refined under the Stuarts, was whittled away to common sense by the admirers of Addison and Steele. Swift and Johnson, Gibbon and Fielding, were apparitions of strength in an amiable, ineffective age. They emerged sudden from the impeccable greyness, to which they afforded an heroic contrast.
Here were the sanded floors, the old water-bottles, the large chandelier with its cut glasses in the middle of the room, the small tables with their coarse clean linen. The same old French waiters stood here and there about, each with impeccable apron and very peccable shoes, as is the wont of all waiters.
"And depressingly dreary, Uncle." "You astonish me!" "Indeed, dissipation thoroughly distresses me." "You amaze me! But you gamble, I presume?" "When nothing better offers, sir." "Well upon me everlasting soul !" "I hope I do not shock you, Uncle Jervas?" "Worry would be the more apt word, perhaps; you worry me, Nephew. Such impeccable virtue naturally suggests an early death a harp a halo!
In style as in structure they bear witness of a power less perfect, a less impeccable hand.
I must ask you to bear this in mind when judging Lady Auriol. She had once fancied herself in love with an Italian poet, an Antinous-like young man of impeccable manners, boasting an authentic pedigree which lost itself in the wolf that suckled Romulus and Remus. None of your vagabond ballad-mongers. A guest when she first met him of the Italian Ambassador.
