The children's own questions will lead us; and if we simply make it a rule never to answer a question falsely no matter how far it may probe, we shall find ourselves not only enlightening but receiving enlightenment. For nothing is so sure an antidote to morbidness as the unspoiled mind of a child.
But in time I outgrew that morbidness, and realised that though Love is good, Life is the greatest gift of all. To throw it away, voluntarily, is an unpardonable sin. The suicide's punishment should be loss of immortality. Well, I found work to do, of all sorts, in America, and elsewhere. And a year ago she died.
The peasants were much more respectful to our cloth, and, as to appearance, looked like figures from Murillo's canvases. The foliage, the wine, the language, the manners of the people everything was changed. This interested me, and my morbidness vanished. The Director was delighted with my improved condition.
The end was, he went mad and died. Lilian was crying over the story; it made her wretched for a whole day." "Rather morbid, that, I'm afraid." "I don't know; most of us would be better for a little of such morbidness. You mustn't suppose that fiction would have the same effect on her not at all. I would rather she had got into a rage about it, as I should but that isn't her nature."
"It is the pure devotion of a man to the good of his higher nature and to the good of the race." "As far as the race goes, vicarious suffering can't be anything, so far as I see, except an effort to placate an unforgiving deity.

Ruth was the only bright spot she recognized in her life, and her morbidness was constantly picturing disaster for this object of her love. Ruth's babyhood was a joy. Plump, cooing and happy, she evinced, even in her earliest days, evidences of her rare disposition. At eighteen months, however, she began having spells of indigestion.
But though it is as unwise as it is unsafe to prefer morbidness for itself or to give it too great way, there are undoubted charms in it, and O'Shaughnessy could give poetical form to these as few others could. Two of his own lines Oh! exquisite malady of the soul, How hast thou marred me put the thing well.
"Other girls submit, I know " "And so the world is full of abortive, ambiguous beings, fit for nothing. The average woman always seem to me to be muffled or morbid." "That's what I should become if I pottered about here much longer," said Algitha "morbid; and if there is one thing on the face of the earth that I loathe, it is morbidness."
Preston, the butler, and the other servants who had been long with them feared for her sanity, but, loving "Mr. James" as they did, sympathized with her morbidness. So, in the old farmhouse, it was as though Jimmie still stamped through the halls, or from his room, as he dressed, whistled merrily.
But never was poem freer from morbidness: it repels the sickly pallor of our modern stereotyped sorrow, and is made up only of a grief that is regal more divine.
