But the worst of all is, that if it leaves us any leisure, and we apply ourselves to the consideration of any subject, it constantly obtrudes itself in the midst of our researches, and occasions trouble and disturbance, and confounds us so that we are not able, by reason of it, to discern the truth.
What lies beyond? a region which numbers cannot measure and thought cannot span, and beyond that? the eternal answer, GOD. In face of the contemplation of the vastness of creation, of its boundlessness the question ever obtrudes itself, What place have we mortals in the universal cosmos?
Thank you, my noble captain! For naturally one tips half the drink over the rail with the ancient prayer: 'May it reach him who needs it, and turns one's back on the pulsing ridges and fluid horizons that are beginning their mid-day mirage-dance. At evening the Desert obtrudes again tricked out as a Nautch girl in veils of purple, saffron, gold-tinsel, and grass-green.
Nor are they truly venerable, like ours. They date, for the most part, from the timewhen the Government abolished the oldsystem of inhumation in churches a system which, for the rest, still survives; there are over six hundred of these fosse carnarie in use at this moment, most of them in churches. And a sad thought obtrudes itself in these oases of peace and verdure.
The former obtrudes his attention, and forces mine; it is so pointed, that it always confuses me, and so public, that it attracts general notice. Indeed I have sometimes thought that he would rather wish, than dislike to have his partiality for me known, as he takes great care to prevent my being spoken to by any but himself.
The analogy between the work of the wind and the work of flowing water constantly obtrudes, especially where this work is one of "erosion."
Taken altogether, New Zealand presents a great variety of landscape, although, even where the scenery is most subdued, it partakes of a bold and irregular character, derived not more from the aspect of undisturbed Nature, which still obtrudes itself everywhere among the traces of commencing cultivation, than from the confusion of hill and valley which marks the face of the soil, and the precipitous eminences, with their sides covered by forests, and their summits barren of all vegetation, or terminating perhaps in a naked rock, that often rise close beside the most sheltered spots of fertility and verdure.
Piotr, annoyed at being disconcerted by the stranger's question, said sharply: "A vagrant is one who roams about without shelter and without money and obtrudes upon others instead of attending to his own business." "Thank you for the definition," said Ostrov with a bow. "It is true that I have but little money and that I'm compelled to roam about such is the nature of my profession."
Like an incompetent architect with too much interest at his back, he obtrudes his ill-considered work where place ought to have been left to better men.
To some it might seem, considering the interests of religion alone, desirable to omit all biographical reference to the popes; but this cannot be done with justice to the subject. The essential principle of the papacy, that the Roman pontiff is the vicar of Christ upon earth, necessarily obtrudes his personal relations upon us.
