If there was deficiency in the testimony which consigned any special wonder to its keeping, there was, doubtless, sufficient truth in common reports to justify the imagination in interpreting misty hieroglyphics of its own device. During the latter part of a certain August my family being established at the seaside I determined to devote a long day to the College Library.
Fitzgerald interpreting expressions confessedly intended "to allure him to yield," in the manner most favourable to himself, placed himself in the hands of the marshal, and rode back with him to the camp. The deputy wrote immediately to announce the capture.
Her little figure flashes before him he sees her gesture, her smile; he hears his own voice and hers; recalls the struggle to express, the poverty of words, the thrill of silence, and that perpetual and exquisite recurrence to the interpreting images of poetry and art. But no poet had imagined better, had divined more than they in those earliest hours had lived!
By working in this manner every one will always advance without danger of error that is, if they admit no principles for interpreting Scripture, and discussing its contents save such as they find in Scripture itself and will be able with equal security to discuss what surpasses our understanding, and what is known by the natural light of reason.
The old assumption that the interests of the ryot must be confided to official hands is strenuously denied by modern educated Indians.

'She says, replied Mr Lammle, interpreting for her, 'that in her eyes you look well in any colour, Sophronia, and that if she had expected to be embarrassed by so pretty a compliment as she has received, she would have worn another colour herself. Though I tell her, in reply, that it would not have saved her, for whatever colour she had worn would have been Fledgeby's colour.
There are three ways of interpreting Christ's doctrine of wealth. First, it may be held that Jesus intended His teachings to be literally obeyed, not only by His first disciples but by all His followers in subsequent years, and that such literal obedience is practicable, reasonable and conducive to the highest well-being of society.
In short, art reveals nature by interpreting its intentions and formulating its desires. Every ideal is the key of a long enigma. The great artist is the simplifier. Every man is a tamer of wild beasts, and these wild beasts are his passions.
And the blue jay never learned to sing "the sweet gurgling roulade of the wild jays," though it gave the blue jay call correctly. Mr. Keyser's experiment was interesting and valuable, but his sagacity fails him when interpreting the action of the jay in roosting in an exposed place after it had been given its liberty.
