By easy journeys they arrived at Engelberg early on a Friday afternoon, and found pleasant rooms in the large hotel, looking out in front on the grand old monastery, once the lord of half the Canton, and in the rear upon pine-woods, leading up to a snow-crowned summit. The delicious scent seemed to bring invigoration in at the windows.
Here and there, in a peasant family, or a small country tradesman's just raised above a peasant, honest regenerating blood will be found. Nobles wanting refreshment from the soil might do worse than try a slip of one of those juicy weeds; ill- fated, sickly Royalties would be set-up striding through another half- century with such invigoration, if it could be done for them! There are tales.
We have heard it suggested that the abundant actinic rays in the dry, cloudless atmosphere are the cause of this invigoration, and also of the unusual brilliancy of the flowers. The only way in which we know that summer is coming is by the more chilling winds, the increased dust, the tawny color of the hills, and the general dying look of things. Every thing is bare, sunny, and sandy.
Its gentle flow, its soothing, suppling effect, and in another aspect, its value as a means of invigoration and sustenance, and in yet another, as a source of light, peculiarly adapted it to be an emblem of the bestowment on a patient and trustful and submissive heart that was saying, 'Lord, take me, and use me as Thou wilt, of that divine Spirit by whose silent, sweet, soft-flowing, strong influences men were prepared for God's service.
These were two completely happy hours to all the three, and when they said 'good-night' there was a sense of soothing and invigoration on Alice's mind; and on Nuttie's that patience and dutifulness were the best modes of doing justice to her Micklethwayte training, although he had scarcely said a word of direct rebuke or counsel. While Mr. Dutton sped home to tell Miss Headworth that Mrs.
Pascal, a confirmed invalid, to whom Phebe's physical vigor and evenness of temper had been a constant source of delight and invigoration, felt the change in her keenly. "She has something on her mind," she said to her husband; "you must try and find it out, or she will be ill." "I know she has a secret," he answered, "but it is not her own.
It may be set down as the unchangeable rule of physiology, that stimulating drinks deduct from the powers of the constitution in exactly the proportion in which they operate to produce temporary invigoration. The second evil is the temptation which always attends the use of stimulants.
She could not escape the invigoration caused by the mere breathing of pure air, but during the winters in town she lost all and more than she had gained, and sunk back into her old apathetic life. This life, however, contained two elements which gave some color and zest to her existence.
If you hesitate, if you draw back, if you turn with one foolish regret or morbid thought to your past mistakes in life which ARE past to her, your wife, a wife in name but never in soul, to your children, born of animal instinct but not of spiritual deep love, to those your 'friends' who count up your years as though they were crimes, you check the work of re- invigoration, and you stultify the forces of renewal.
'Act! I hearkened to the summons." Huxley aptly defined Carlyle as a "great tonic, a source of intellectual invigoration and moral stimulus." Carlyle is not only a "great Awakener" but also a great literary artist. His style is vivid, forceful, and often poetic. He loves to present his ideas with such picturesqueness that the corresponding images develop clearly in the reader's mind.
