His surprise may be imagined when, the subject of investigation having approached near enough to be perfectly observed, instead of a monster marked, like Cain, he appeared a graceful, though undersized person, with an agreeable countenance. The most unfavorable criticism he provoked was the loudness if the word can be excused of his dress.
A human looking thing, anyway! Arms and a head! A man inside a fish's spined hide like armor!" They looked pityingly at me. The Professor laid his hand on my shoulder. "Now, now," he soothed, "don't go to pieces " "I tell you I saw it!" I shouted. Then, shrinking from the hysterical loudness of my own voice, I lowered my tone.
First, its intensity, or loudness, which is governed by the height, depth, amplitude for these amount to the same thing of the waves produced in the medium. Second, the timbre, or quality, which is regulated by the shape, or outline, of these waves.
There was the same roistering and sprawling crowd; the same loudness and profanity; the same abundance of whisky and its intemperate indulgence; the same barbaric hilarity of negroes, driven and cursed. And now many goatees, and much talk of politics, of Whigs and Democrats. St. Louis was languid, weary and old. The buildings had an air of decay.
Every metal structure has its note, and it is an old engineering saw that a huge structure like the Brooklyn Bridge eventually could be destroyed by the cumulative force of sympathetic vibration evoked by a musical instrument constantly reiterating the note of the bridge. Sound has three dimensions: pitch, loudness and timbre. Pitch depends upon the frequency of vibrations.

Let us, then, see whether we cannot thus account for the chief peculiarities in the utterance of the feelings: grouping these peculiarities under the heads of loudness, quality, or timbre, pitch, intervals, and rate of variation.
So far as I have seen, the usual conversation in the taproom of a country public-house is a lazy and innocent interchange of remarks, which wander aimlessly from one subject to another, because nobody wants to bother his head with thinking; or else it is a vehement discussion, in which dogmatic assertion does duty for argument and loudness for force.
"That prig?" he roared, with a bull-like loudness and fury "That high-and-mighty piece of damned superior clerical wisdom? God bless my soul! There must be some mistake " "Yes surely!" murmured Miss Tabitha, feeling the clutch of a deadly spite and fear at her heart, for was not Walden HER clergyman?
