The thinker had a last gleam of satisfaction in seeing so lucidly the springs of his failure as a human being. Happiness was the child of fixedness in opinions, in space. Soul and body had need of a centre, a pivot, a home.
I think he had a good time anyhow, he stayed much longer than he need have done if he didn't I meant that if he wasn't having a good time! I don't seem to be able to write lucidly. We talked much of you, and of how good it would seem to have you back, and of the garden, and the coming summer. He wanted to know if mother and I were coming out to spend the season again, and I said yes.
A little farther up she came across black Billy a very cheerful aboriginal, seeing that he had managed to induce no less than nine blackfish to leave their watery bed. "Oh, I say!" said Norah, round-eyed and envious. "How do you manage it, Billy? We can't catch one." Billy grinned. He was a youth of few words. "Plenty bob-um float," he explained lucidly. "Easy 'nuff. You try."
Heraud thinks this idea is rather too German, but, after all, not so very far out of the way, for in Sonnet 42 the poet certainly declares that his Ideal Man is simply his Objective Self.

"I should think so, with all those occupations you speak of." "It isn't that. I'm afraid," said Isabel. After a pause she repeated, as if to make herself, rather than him, hear the words: "I'm afraid."
Paula hastened to explain: 'We understood that you would stay to dinner, and as you did not come in we wondered where you were. That made me think of your accident, and after dinner I went up to the place where it happened. Somerset almost wished she had not explained so lucidly.
He thought it wonderful that a brain could think a thing out so clearly and words express thoughts so lucidly. His eagerness to follow the passing girls with his eyes was gone. He was interested in the older man's viewpoint. "And what about children?" he asked. The older man sat sideways on the bench. There was a troubled look in his eyes and a suppressed eager quality in his voice.
Upon one of these boulders, in the centre of the stream, sat the two little boys, wet to the skin, and looking the pictures of abject despair. 'However did you get there? said Douglas rather angrily.
