To him, a Hellene in temper and soul if to be a Hellene means gentleness, reasonableness, lucidity, the absence of all selfish pretensions men like Falloden were the true barbarians of the day, and the more able the more barbarian. Thus, against his own will and foresight, he was on the way to become a frequenter of the Hoopers' house.
Everything had changed; she heard herself speaking, speaking steadily, with the voice of a changed and unfamiliar person. "Mark doesn't think it's vanity. You only think it is because you want to." The mind of this unfamiliar self had a remorseless lucidity that seemed to her more shocking than anything she could imagine. It went on as if urged by some supreme necessity. "You're afraid. Afraid."
As a matter of course it did not come with particular lucidity, though Mike did succeed in making his auditors comprehend this much. The major was substantially well treated, though intimations had been given that he would be considered as a spy. Escape seemed next to impossible; still, he should not easily abandon the hope.
Abraham Lincoln, in his store-keeping days, used to sit under a tree outside the grocery store of Lincoln and Berry, reading Voltaire. One would like to think that he then and there assimilated something of the incomparable lucidity of style of the great Frenchman. But Voltaire's influence upon Lincoln's style cannot be proved, any more than Rousseau's direct influence upon Jefferson.
I cowered with expectation. Speech was coming at last. Before he spoke he nodded reassuringly once or twice. He moved his head strangely and mysteriously, but a child might have known he spoke of the captain. "E's a foreigner." He regarded me doubtfully for a time, and at last decided for the sake of lucidity to clench the matter. "That's what E is a DAGO!"
There was admirable lucidity and accuracy in exposition. There was great skill in the disposition and marshaling of his arguments, and finally a gift now almost lost in England there was a wonderful variety and grace of appropriate gesture.
Sometimes we seem to be granted a glimpse of the guiding Hand that steers men's destinies; then, as comprehension is about to dawn, we lose again our temporal lucidity of vision. The following incident illustrates this. Sir Elwin Groves, of Harley Street, took Dr. Cairn aside at the club one evening. "I am passing a patient on to you, Cairn," he said; "Lord Lashmore."
If I had done that, then you might have the right to blame." If he had overcome every other difficulty in the way to an heroic pose there was still Hugh's unconquerable lucidity of outlook. War was a madness.... But what else was to be done? What else could be done? We could not give in to Germany. If a lunatic struggles, sane men must struggle too.... Mr.
Many of us are profusely original, in that no man can understand us violently peculiar ways of looking at things are no great rarity. The rarity is when great peculiarity of vision is allied with great lucidity and unusual command of all the classic expository apparatus. Bergson's resources in the way of erudition are remarkable, and in the way of expression they are simply phenomenal.
Had I known what was to follow I should have cursed the lucidity of mind which now came to me; I should have prayed for oblivion to be spared the sight of that which ensued. "It's Logan!" cried Inspector Weymouth; and I could tell that he was struggling to free himself of his bonds.
