Not all the scents which sweeten the air are salubrious. Several are distinctly injurious. The most elemental of all incenses that which arises from warm, dry soil sprinkled by a sudden shower is undoubtedly invigorating. "The hand of little employment hath the daintier sense." Not so in respect of the organ of smell.
Behind the cardinal follows an acolyte with the censer and incense-boat and another with the holy water and the aspersorio, and behind these again two prelates with a Missal and a candle. The Pope rises, blesses the folded banners and incenses them, having received the censer from the hands of a priest who has prepared it.
Greatly beyond the imaginings of anticipation were the expensive articles with which Ling proudly surrounded her; and in examining and learning the cost of the set jewels and worked metals, the ornamental garments for both persons, the wood and paper appointments for the house even incenses, perfumes, spices and rare viands had not been forgotten the day was quickly and profitably spent.
Elizabeth the mother of St. John the Baptist, who was six months older than Our Lord. Elizabeth said to her, "Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the Fruit of thy womb"; and the Blessed Virgin answered her in the beautiful words of the Magnificat, that we sing at Vespers while the priest incenses the altar.
The leader of the Pandavas is their eldest brother, Yudhisthira. He conquers many other lands and is encouraged to claim the title, 'ruler of the world. The claim is made at a great sacrifice accompanied by a feast. The claim incenses the Kauravas and once again the ancient feud revives. Themselves expert gamblers, they challenge Yudhisthira to a contest by dice.
All stand, as at the gospel: he incenses the book, and then sings the Exultet . After the words curvat imperia, he fixes in the candle the five grains of incense in the form of a cross . At the words "ignis accendit" he lights the paschal candle with one of the three lights . When the blessing, as it is called, is ended, the paschal candle is left lighted near the pulpit and the seats of the Card. deacons, and the triple candle is placed near the altar on the gospel-side . The deacon then takes off his white vestments, puts on others of a purple colour, and joins the Card, celebrant, who accompanied by the ministers takes his seat on Faldistorio near the altar on the epistle-side, to hear the prophecies recited.
"Do you remember what we were reading yesterday? Do you remember even one particular line? It comes to me now. 'So loving jealous. You recollect?" "No; and even if I did, what has it to do with Roger?" "Nothing perhaps." There is a small fine smile around his lips that incenses her, she scarcely knows why. "Then what does your quotation mean?" "Nothing, too, no doubt.
But having hugged away his laughter he was able to convert his joy into a vast grin. That smile stopped the posse. When a mob starts for a scene of violence the least exhibition of fear incenses it, but mockery is apt to pour water on its flames of anger. Decidedly the fury of the posse was chilled by the grin of George.
The old man Slyme, the secretary, has been going rapidly from bad to worse, of late. His intemperate habits are growing on him, and now seldom comes the day when he is not discovered to be unfit for duty of any kind. Naturally such conduct incenses Sir Christopher to the last degree.
The extent of this difficult passage was thirty-seven miles, at the end of which Nearchus came to an anchor at a distance from the coast. Their course next day was in deep water, which continued till they arrived, after sailing a day and a half, at a village at the mouth of the Euphrates: at this village there was a mart for the importation of the incenses of Arabia.
