The 'genius loci' was limping about the pleasant mansion with the rheumatism which then expressed itself to his friends in a resolute smile, but which now insists upon being an essential trait of the full-length presence to my mind: a short stout figure, helped out with a cane, and a grizzled head with features formed to win the heart rather than the eye of the beholder.
His letter of the night before had scarcely touched on the details of the actual crisis, had dwelt rather on the months of carelessness and neglect on his own part, which had prepared it. She interrupted. 'That was she? the mother in the "Genius Loci"? He assented mutely. She closed her eyes a moment, seeing, in her suffering, the face of the young mother and her child. 'But go on.
Subsequently, in his Loci, Melanchthon developed still further the idea of the Church as an institutum. This may have been because of the fanatics, or it may have been because of his entire disposition as a teacher and pedagogue.
It cost me, I confess, a somewhat pitying acceleration of my own to see this intimately personal relic of the <i>genius loci</i> for it had dwelt; in his waistcoat- pocket, than which there is hardly a material point in space nearer to a man's consciousness tossed so the dog's-eared visitors' record or <i>livre de cuisine</i> recently denounced by Madame George Sand.
Populorum varia nomina. Clarissimi Nasamones, extra Africam propriam etiam Cyrenaica et Marmarica contermini; quos antea Mesammones Graci adpellaverunt, ab argumento loci, medios inter arenas sitos, et ab his sublati Psylli, quorum corpori ingenitum fuit virus exitiale serpentibus, ut cujus odore vel fugarent vel sopirent eas: et supra Carthaginem Libyphoenices, iidem et Poeni a Phoenice Tyro profecti, Duce Eliza sive Didone, qua Carthaginem condidit.

I have sometimes tried to speak above my breath, when, being about to leave the car, I have made a virtue of offering my place to the prettiest young woman standing, but I have found it impossible; the genius loci, whatever it was, suppressed me, and I have gasped out my sham politeness as in a courteous nightmare.
There may have been a time when men thought the Slaves of the Tree were disbanded; indeed it did seem so, but as the years go by, one by one they come wandering back, take their places in the branches of the magic tree, swing far out over the world like birds, and summon again the genius loci who has slept for nearly forty years.
Swithun with this ancient capital of Wessex, the genius loci is William of Wykeham, one of the most remarkable men the world has ever produced. The more we study his life and character the more we are amazed at the versatile nature of his splendid gifts.
