Thus it is that we say, "It matters not where our midcourse is run, but we will /die/ in the place where we were born, in the point of space whence /began/ the circle, there also shall /it end/!" This is the grand orbit through which Mortality passes only once; but the same figure may pervade all through which it moves on its journey to the grave.
He wrote while his left hand held the book flat as orderly as any county-clerk might do in the recordance of a deed of sale. Midcourse in larceny, he looked up from writing. He saw a tall, dark lady who was regarding him half-sorrowfully and half as in the grasp of some occult amusement. He said nothing. He released the telltale book. His eyebrows lifted, banteringly. He rose.
"Again," quoth my father, "again behold us! We who greeted the commencement of your narrative, who absented ourselves in the midcourse when we could but obstruct the current of events, and jostle personages more important, we now gather round the close.
Stand back, all of you! give me air. So the count has triumphed, and Violante has fled with him! Explain all, I can bear it!" "Again," quoth my father, "again behold us! We who greeted the commencement of your narrative, who absented ourselves in the midcourse when we could but obstruct the current of events, and jostle personages more important, we now gather round the close.
The men of the lower left-hand branch of the Barito and of the midcourse of that river are often not tatued at all, but such tatu as was extant in 1850 was highly significant according to Schwaner's account; thus, a figure composed of two spiral lines interlacing each other and with stars at the extremities tatued on the shoulder signified that the man had taken several heads; two lines meeting each other at an acute angle behind the finger nails signified dexterity in wood-carving; a star on the temple was a sign of happiness in love.
Thus it is that we say, "It matters not where our midcourse is run, but we will die in the place where we were born, in the point of space whence began the circle, there also shall it end!" This is the grand orbit through which Mortality passes only once; but the same figure may pervade all through which it moves on its journey to the grave.
But the wise writer, if he is able, as Scott, and Dickens, and Clemens were able, freights her more deeply. As for the good reader, he will go below to investigate before the voyage commences; or, if in midcourse he likes not his carrier, take off in his mental airplane and seek another book. I remember a talk in Dublin with an Irish writer whose English prose has adorned our period.
Painting occupies a middle position, since in it space instead of being actual has become ideal three dimensions being expressed through the mediumship of two and time enters into it more largely than into sculpture by reason of the greater ease with which complicated action can be indicated: a picture being nearly always time arrested in midcourse as it were a moment transfixed.
"To-day you really surpass yourself. I never heard you read better, and I hate to be compelled to call a halt. But time has flown look." And she pointed to the blue and gold Sévres clock upon the mantelpiece. "Miss Verity is an inspiring auditor," he said, none best pleased at being thus arbitrarily arrested in midcourse.
Who would project a serial novel, after Thackeray and Dickens had each fallen in midcourse? Who would find heart enough to begin to live, if he dallied with the consideration of death? And, after all, what sorry and pitiful quibbling all this is!
