Ralph Marvell, pondering upon this, reflected that for him the sign had been set, more than three years earlier, in an Italian ilex-grove. That day his life had brimmed over so he had put it at the time. He saw now that it had brimmed over indeed: brimmed to the extent of leaving the cup empty, or at least of uncovering the dregs beneath the nectar.
Here he has Shakspeare, Spenser, Sidney, Raleigh, Bacon, Chapman, Jonson, Ford, Beaumont and Fletcher, Herbert, Donne, Herrick; and Milton, Marvell, and Dryden, not long after. In reading history, he is to prefer the history of individuals. The task is aided by the strong mutual light which these men shed on each other.
He turned now to walk beside Tatham's horse. His plain face with its beautiful eyes, and lanky straying hair, spoke of a ruminating mind. Tatham asked if there was any news from the railway. "No trace so far, anywhere. All the main line stations have been closely watched. But Marvell is of opinion that if young Brand had anything to do with it he would certainly give the railway a wide berth.
That the illumination should have been kindled by his cousin's husband was not precisely agreeable to Marvell, who thought Peter a bore in society and an insufferable nuisance on closer terms. But he was becoming blunted to Undine's lack of discrimination; and his own treatment of Van Degen was always tempered by his sympathy for Clare.
Her wealth, the more notable at a time when the king was in debt, and the nation impoverished from expenditure necessary to warfare, was enormous. Andrew Marvell, writing in August, 1671, states: "Lord St. John, Sir R. Howard, Sir John Bennet, and Sir W. Bicknell, the brewer, have farmed the customs.
Marvell heard her moving, the splash of water, and the lighting of the fire. Presently Gertrude came to her side fully dressed "There, mother, I've made you a cup of tea! And now in a few minutes I shall be off." Mrs. Marvell sat up and drank the tea. "I didn't think you'd go in such a hurry," she said, fretfully. "I must. My day's so full.
"The smallest advance on my part, in this quarter, brings me a rap on the knuckles. I try to pitch what I have to say in the most impersonal and romantic terms. No good at all! But all egg-dancing is amusing, so I dance and accept all the drudgery she and Alecto give me to do." "Alecto? Miss Marvell?" "Naturally." "These meetings must be pretty boring." "Especially because I can't keep my temper.
She had grown white to the lips, and when she tried to speak the effort produced only a faint click in her throat. She felt that the change in her appearance must be visible, and the dread of letting Marvell see it made her continue to turn her ravaged face to her other neighbour.
Among, the great names which adorned the Protectorate, that period of intense mental activity, when political and religious rights and duties were thoroughly discussed by strong and earnest statesmen and theologians, that of Andrew Marvell, the friend of Milton, and Latin Secretary of Cromwell, deserves honorable mention.
Of course I thought it was something connected with Miss Marvell, or your Society but " "I'm going to explain" she said, trying hard for composure. "I'm going to tell it all in order."
