The issue had passed beyond mother love to that self-love, deepest of all, which says: "Do this, or forfeit the essence of your soul" And now that she stole to her bed again, she looked at her sleeping husband whom she had resolved to leave, with no anger, no reproach, but rather with a long, incurious look which told nothing even to herself.
It is for me to keep the fire alight, and the thatch close against the rain, and strong, lest the wind blow it among the trees; and it is for me to take the heavy books from the shelves, and to lift from its corner the great painted roll with the names of the Sidhe, and to possess the while an incurious and reverent heart, for right well I know that God has made out of His abundance a separate wisdom for everything which lives, and to do these things is my wisdom.
They had awaited thousands and innumerable thousands of daybreaks in the Broad, these Emperors, counting the long slow hours till the night were over. It is in the night especially that their fallen greatness haunts them. Day brings some distraction. They are not incurious of the lives around them these little lives that succeed one another so quickly.
Ah! but our student, who held the bird, was not incurious only cold and cruel in his curiosity. "Hamilton," said he, "that bird could still swim on the surface of that sea, though deprived of every feather on its body." "I deny it," replied Hamilton. "It will not swim five minutes," "What do you bet?" The old watchword. "Five pounds." "Done."
But the sweet instinct of privacy and home had had its way, and every night the little curtain that never shut out anything but the incurious moonlight or the innocent stars was drawn as regularly as the shades of a Fifth Avenue mansion. Later we learned that it was the Life-Saving Station of Lake Superior. "No nap this afternoon, ladies," said the captain as he left the luncheon-table.
Then she said quickly, and in a low voice so eager that it was unsteady: "George, you've struck just the treatment to adopt: you're doing the right thing!" She hurried out, scurrying after the others with a faint rustling of her black skirts, leaving George mystified but incurious.
But just because the incurious idleness of the Turk is excessive, so as to be detrimental to completeness of living, it is unfit to supply us with the hints we need concerning the causes, character, and effects of our over-activity. A sermon of leisure, if it is to be of practical use to us, must not be a sermon of laziness.
When historians or geographers exhibit false accounts of places far distant, they may be forgiven, because they can tell but what they are told; and that their accounts exceed the truth may be justly supposed, because most men exaggerate to others, if not to themselves: but Boethius lived at no great distance; if he never saw the lake, he must have been very incurious, and if he had seen it, his veracity yielded to very slight temptations.
So the commoners flocked to Cazaio in the Taunenfels until, little by little, he had gathered an army about him. And at Bellegarde, de Soyecourt had only a handful of men, Cazaio meditated to-night. And the woman was there, the woman whose eyes were blue and incurious, whose face was always scornful.
Nikky, who in all his incurious young life had never thought of the roof of the Palace, save as a necessary shelter from the weather, a thing of tiles and gutters, vastly large, looked rather astounded. "The roof!" he said, surveying the note. And fell to thinking, such a mixture of rapture and despair as only twenty-three, and hopeless, can know.
