After long staring on the hungry nothingness of air and water he would stare on the skin-stretched fabric of his boat as on a strangeness, or he would examine his hands and the texture of his skin and the stiff black hairs that grew behind his knuckles and sprouted around his ring, and he found in these things newness and wonder.
Such things were in the air, and even those who were not swerved by 'the Newness' from their intended pursuits were often greatly as to the way in which they were undertaken." A letter written by Burrill Curtis, and printed in part by Mr. Cary, gives the reasons for this experiment.
"But I thought Mrs. Hattie would get over all that by this time, after the newness of the money was worn off." "I hoped she would. But she doesn't. It's worse, if anything," sighed Miss Maggie, as they ascended the steps at her own door. Mr. Smith frowned again. "And Miss Bessie " he began disapprovingly, then stopped. "Now, Miss Mellicent " he resumed, in a very different voice.
At one time it was the practice to cleanse them all thoroughly before fitting them, but purchasers got the impression that they had been used by other persons, so it was decided to abandon that practice and send them out with the dust of the factory in them, in proof of their newness.
"That apology is entirely unnecessary, for we have been listening to something so new that its very newness and unconventionality is quite refreshing, and certainly interesting," said Mr. Hayden, warmly. "Surely, there must be some healing virtue even in your talk, for I feel remarkably well to-day," was his wife's delighted addition. "How glad, oh, how glad I am," fluttered Mrs. Reade.
A spasm of fierce jealousy shot through me jealousy of Mary, my friend Mary, who knew him with such profound intimacy that they could go through a scene together which was 'humiliating. I saw that my own intimacy with him was still crude with the crudity of newness, and that only years could mellow it.
But it will doubtless be pleaded in mitigation, that the cities and large villages in those states are new; that they have not had sufficient time thoroughly to organize their police, so as to make it an effectual terror to evil doers; and further, that the rapid growth of those places has so overloaded the authorities with all sorts of responsibilities, that due attention to the preservation of the public peace has been nearly impossible; and besides, they have had no official experience to draw upon, as in the older cities, the offices being generally filled by young men, as a necessary consequence of the newness of the country, &c.
Another evident quality of such a character as this will be its freshness or newness; if we may so speak. Its freshness or readiness call it what you will its ability to take up new duties and do them in a new way, will result of necessity from its truth and clearness. The simple natures and forces will always be the most pliant ones. Water bends and shapes itself to any channel.
Although the soul that in truth receiveth Christ, receiveth him wholly, and entirely as Christ, and not as chopt, and pulled in pieces: yet I distinguish between the act of faith, which layeth hold of Christ for my justification from the curse before God, and the consequences of that act, which are to engage me to newness of life.
Or to the arrangement of her lovely features, to-day unique, which made one think of backgrounds composed of brocade and armor, the freshly painted canvases of Titian and the dazzling newness of statues by Michael Angelo?
