But his good sense which in the field of speculation was very good joined to his gentleness, his insinuating charm, and his admirable ease of manner, ought to have compensated, more than they have done, for his defect of penetration. He has always suffered from an habitual irresoluteness; but I do not know to what this irresoluteness should be attributed.
I've a curiosity to know: a remainder of my coxcombry. Not that exactly: a wish to see the impression I made on your friend. None at all? But any pebble casts a ripple." "That is hardly an impression," said Clara, pacifying her irresoluteness with this light talk. "The utmost to be hoped for by men like me! I have your permission? one minute I will get my ticket." "Do not," said Clara.
His work is the triumph of a conquered hero; that of Strauss is the defeat of a conquering hero. This irresoluteness of the will can be still more clearly seen in contemporary German literature, and in particular in the author of Die versunkene Glocke. But it is more striking in Strauss, because he is more heroic.
Sometimes he would ask Sporus to raise the funeral lamentation, then he would implore some one to set him an example of courage by dying first; sometimes he would chide his own irresoluteness by saying 'I am a base degenerate man to live! This does not beseem Nero!
I wonder at this. To me the broad brow seems to express intellect. Certain lines about the nose and cheek, betray the satirist and cynic; the mouth indicates a child-like simplicity perhaps even a degree of irresoluteness, inconsistency weakness in short, but a weakness not unamiable. The engraving seems to me very good.
Old Dan, of small stature, slim, a coughing old man with a clean-shaven face, comes out from behind the church. Because of his irresoluteness, or because of the weakness of his eyes, he steps uncertainly, touching the ground cautiously and with a certain degree of fear. "Oho! Oho!" "Is that you, Dan?" "The sea is calm, Dan. Are you going to play to-night?" "Oho! I shall ring the bell seven times.
The mere act of putting a fellow-creature to death was in itself odious and terrible to a disposition naturally so gentle as Hamlet's was. His very melancholy, and the dejection of spirits he had so long been ill, produced an irresoluteness and wavering of purpose which kept him from proceeding to extremities.
George banged on his hat, strode angrily to the door, and got no farther. He did not see why he should leave the field clear to all comers, even if he were out of the running himself; a line of irresoluteness which affords an excellent exemplification of the remarks wherewith we have opened this chapter.
Solomin left his hat alone, the more readily as Sipiagin, who had observed his irresoluteness, exclaimed: "Won't you stay the night with us?" "As you wish." The grateful glance Mariana fixed on him as she stood at the drawing-room window set him thinking. UNTIL his visit Mariana had pictured Solomin to herself as quite different. At first sight he had struck her as undefined, characterless.
Later on, in the seclusion of my study, the full force of it struck me and I marvelled. That plaintive note in her voice served its purpose. My firmness seemed to dissolve, even as I sought to reinforce it by an injection of harshness into my own manner of speech. "Then you should be willing to vacate my premises er or "here is where I began to show irresoluteness "or explain yourself."
