From such a conception has been abstracted, not merely all corporeal nature, but all nature, that is, all the predicates of a possible experience; and consequently, all the conditions which enable us to cogitate an object to this conception have disappeared. But, if these conditions are absent, it is evident that the conception is meaningless.
In the Chronique everything is heavy, occasionally meaningless, and nearly always insipid.
Novikoff felt a dull pain at his heart, as if it would stop beating. Very pale, he rose and seized his cap. "Good-bye," he said, not hearing the sound of his own voice. His quivering lips were twisted into a meaningless smile. "Are you going? Good-bye!" said Lida, laughing nervously and proffering her hand.
But Colonel Forde's references to Othello well, it was all so much puppy talk, just amiable, meaningless nickering to Finn and Desdemona. That evening, while the Master and his folk were dining at Nuthill, Finn arose from a nap in the hall and, strolling out through the garden, loped easily away across the shoulder of Down betwixt Shaws and Nuthill to visit Desdemona.
Through his open, swollen lips meaningless words came in a hoarse whisper. Presently the door opened with a creaking sound, but the sleeper moved no limb or feature. Rene Drucquer entered the cell and ran quickly to the bedside. Behind, with more dignity and deliberation, followed the sub-prior of the monastery.
He was a typical Deist, thinking that the God who had made the myriad stars of the firmament and who had promulgated eternal laws for the universe, would hardly concern Himself with the soul of Pierre or Jean. To him all priests were impostors, and sacraments meaningless mummery, and yet he would not abolish religion entirely.
For more than two years he has apparently spent a considerable time each day in committing to memory sets of meaningless syllables, and trying to trace numerically the laws according to which they were retained or forgotten. Most of his results, we are sorry to say, add nothing to our gross experience of the matter. Here, as in the case of the saints, heroism seems to be its own reward.
Sir Timothy mistook his nervousness for proper respect, and maintained a distant but condescending graciousness towards him. "I hear you came back by the afternoon train, Sir Timothy. A London outing is a rare thing for you. I hope you enjoyed yourself," said the canon, with a meaningless laugh. "I transacted my business successfully, thank you," said Sir Timothy, gravely.
I wired all this meaningless farrago to the Daily News that night, but with much more nonsense to the same effect, and on the following day it was all duly printed. I mention this little fact for a reason.
Love was become a meaningless word. She could not understand how she had ever drifted into such relations with the writer. Fear and anger were the sole passions surviving in her memory from those days which had violently transformed her life, and it was not with Bevis, but her husband, that these emotions were connected.
