But everywhere when we go a little below the surface in Browning we find that there was something in him perverse and unusual despite all his working normality and simplicity. His mind was perfectly wholesome, but it was not made exactly like the ordinary mind. It was like a piece of strong wood with a knot in it.
Indecision largely disappeared for three quite normal years, office details only now and then ruffling the smooth normality of Mr. van der Veere's life. Then with the early spring nights came an unexplained insomnia. He would waken at five, four, even three o 'clock, and, unable to get back to sleep, would read until morning.
At these times, as she claimed, she thought she was to be electrocuted and told her mother so, adding, “Then it would drop out of my mind again.” Otherwise her memory for this state was a complete blank. Here we see a normal stimulus producing not normality but something on the way towards it, that is, a condition less profound than the state out of which the patient was temporarily lifted.
Having a great respect for her honesty, they were hard put to it to know what to do with her, and she was finally sentenced to be sent for a year to a home for neurasthenics, "where she would be able to read and write and recover her normality."
If these men lose their faith in their own business, they not only lose their usefulness as pushers and managers, but they become drags on the industry, and remain so until restored to normality. The hazard of investment is greatly increased by such conditions.
But why not show yourself before?" "What you were doing was clear; to interfere would not be proper. I came out only to greet you and wish you well." "I appreciate it. After last night, I can use a little normality. Uh, the Traiti know now that you're intelligent. I told them." "Unfortunate." Longclaw gestured a laugh.
A big crucifix hung above, and the Christ seemed to be looking at him." The voice stopped. I heard my own as a sound from beyond me asking a question. "How did you find out?" I asked. "Why, you see, Uncle Bill," he answered, as if my voice had helped him to normality a bit, "I started off by saying I'd write to anybody for him, and wasn't there somebody at home maybe?
When there is a conflict between two or more instincts, between pressures of energy flowing in different directions, there may be compromise and normality, or a grinding of the gears and abnormality. Where does the brain come in, in all this? As the servant of the vegetative apparatus.
"I was never going to give anybody anything they hadn't actually earned in some way, except to bring up the average of normality by feeding my patrons surreptitious calories. I had it all figured out that the only legitimate charity was putting flesh on the bones of the human race, that increasing the general efficiency that way wasn't really charity at all." "You don't believe that now?"
Ah! he is a pronounced case for the specialists. Any man who could eat dry bread, drink water, and write such angelic poetry must have been quite mad. Admitted. Would there were more Shelleys. Browning is a fair specimen of genius and normality; as his wife illustrated an unstable nervous temperament allied to genius.
