Those moonèd sands forsake their place; And where they are shall other seas in turn Mow with their sands of whiteness other bays. How, then, the poet asks, shall the individual man be more enduring than these? What, shall the dateless worlds in dust be blown Back to the unremembered and unknown, And this frail Thou this flame of yesterday Burn on forlorn, immortal and alone?
From thence, until dinner at five, we mooned about on deck as before, or visited sick passengers, or read in our respective cabins, or passed the time in conversation; and thus the day wore on. After dinner the passengers drew together in parties and became social.
It was daily dinned into my cars that the little things of life were the noblest, and that all the great people I mooned about said the same. I usually retorted to the effect that I was well aware that it was noble, and that I could write as good an essay on it as any philosopher. It was all very well for great people to point out the greatness of the little, empty, humdrum life.
For the first week or so after his arrival in the city, he "mooned" about doing nothing, and trying to pluck up courage enough to go to Myra Lyndon to ask her to be his wife. He had called several times upon her father and discussed business matters with him; but beyond inquiring after "Mrs.
He came out, but he went about lame; it tired him to paint he felt as if he had been ill three months. He strolled in Kensington Gardens when he should have been at work; he sat long on penny chairs and helplessly mused and mooned.

"Wake up, Jack, my boy!" said Merrihew lightly. "I thought, by the way you mooned here, that you had fallen asleep on your feet. Where's Kitty?" "Kitty? I forgot to ask, Dan," said Hillard dully.
But they had "mooned" about her and made themselves absurd in vain, while this unconscious Adonis calmly walked, talked, and acted as if she could know nothing else than love him, and one day she started in delicious misery to find that she did that is, she thought she might if if? But there her dreams became nebulous they were rosy in outline, however, and she was content to rest there.
I simply went down into hell. One of my great friends died, and the other well, it was awkward to meet, when I had had to break it off with his sister. I simply can't describe to you how utterly horrible it all was. I used to teach all the terms, and in the vacations I simply mooned about. I hadn't a club, and I used to read at the Museum read just to keep my senses.
He mooned about the links by himself, playing a shocking game, and generally comported himself like a man who has looked for the escape of gas with a lighted candle. In affairs of love the strongest men generally behave with the most spineless lack of resolution.
Rain had just come on, and the lowering sky made him low-spirited; he mooned about the street under his umbrella. And at this rate, might vapour away his holiday. Exeter was tedious, but he could not make up his mind to set forth for the sea-shore, where only his own thoughts awaited him.
