Five irreplaceable generals were dead; six more, wounded or captured. The Army of the Tennessee was slashed, badly torn ... but it was not yet destroyed. That night the cavalry was on the march, driven by Forrest's tireless energy. They hit skirmishers at a garrisoned crossroads, using Morton's field batteries to cut them a free path.
The glorious glass has already been broken into a million fragments; many of the finely executed mouldings and figures irreplaceable specimens of a forgotten art have been crushed; great wall spaces pounded and marred. It is as if a huge, fat German hand had ground itself across a delicately moulded face, smearing and smudging with vindictive energy its glorious beauty.
He had lost over two thousand men. But Hood had lost three times as many; and Hood's were irreplaceable except by a very few local recruits. Hood now concentrated every available man for his final attack on Thomas, who had odds of twenty thousand in his favor. Hood marched his thirty-five thousand up to Nashville, where he actually invested the fifty-five thousand Federals.
Our greatest endeavour must be to make ourselves irreplaceable; to make the theoretical fact if this expression does not involve a contradiction in terms the fact that each one of us is unique and irreplaceable, that no one else can fill the gap that will be left when we die, a practical truth.
You keep dolls; you make yourself the priest of that divine idolatry. You keep Noah's Arks; you perpetuate the memory of the salvation of all life as a precious, an irreplaceable thing.

It is futile to attempt to arrange them in an order, beginning with one having least worth and going on to that of maximum value. In so far as any study has a unique or irreplaceable function in experience, in so far as it marks a characteristic enrichment of life, its worth is intrinsic or incomparable.
But the second was also inexcusable because there could be no doubt whatever as to which of the incompatibles should have left his post the replaceable Simcoe or the irreplaceable Carleton.
For in fact each man is unique and irreplaceable; there cannot be any other I; each one of us our soul, that is, not our life is worth the whole Universe.
So long as it remained to be done, something of the catastrophe was still suspended. Now it was all over. The house so strangely empty. No owner no master! I with my strange momentary liberty, bereft of that irreplaceable love, never quite prized until it is lost. Most people have experienced the dismay that underlies sorrow under such circumstances.
Above all, she was enjoying the thought that she was with Alf, and that their arms were touching; and she was wondering if he knew that. iv Through another interval they sat with silent embarrassment, the irreplaceable chocolates, which had earlier been consumed, having served their turn as a means of devouring attention.
