It seems clearly to be true that on the appearance in literature of the obscene, I use the word in a colourless and technical sense to indicate the usually unseen or obverse side of life, the side behind the scenes, the postscenia vitae of Lucretius, and not implying anything necessarily objectionable, it at once for most readers covers the whole field of vision.
This Lion is distinctly a beautiful coin, admirably made, with its value in fine, clear letters circling the obverse side, and a head thereon of Newton, as I live! One detects American influence here. Each year, as we shall find, each denomination of coins celebrates a centenary.
Sobieska held out an indolent hand into which the eager Josef dropped it for examination. First the obverse, then the reverse were inspected with apparently slight interest.
Plato turns incessantly the obverse and the reverse of the medal of Jove. To take an example: The physical philosophers have sketched each his theory of the world; the theory of atoms, of fire, of flux, of spirit; theories mechanical and chemical in their genius.
The laws of Art are the laws of Life, read smaller on the obverse. The child was singing the last stanza in so profound a silence that the fine snapping of an over-charged electric wire was distinctly heard: "Oh, dearly, dearly has he loved And we must love him too, And trust in his redeeming blood, And try his works to do." The little girl waited at the footlights for something.
Schools and Temperance Societies are good customers, and occasionally a good order comes in from a foreign state or colony, for coins. In 1850 Mr. Ralph Heaton made ten tons of copper coin for Bombay, called cock money, so called because bearing a cock on the obverse, from dies purchased at the sale at Soho.
Of course it has its moments of relenting, of showing that warm, soft, winning phase which is the reverse of its obverse shrewishness, when the heart melts to it in a grateful tenderness for the wide, high, blue sky, the flood of white light, the joy of the flocking birds, and the transport of the buds which you can all but hear bursting in an eager rapture.
The extracts that follow give a glimpse of the fresh and alert interest he felt about everything; and I regard them as very important in showing the obverse of that impression of unhealthy solitude which has been so generally received from accounts of Hawthorne hitherto published.
The Italian manager directed the Polish conductor to play "The Star-Spangled Banner" and the three thousand men and women of the audience made a chorus on the obverse side of the curtain. Mr. Gerard, lately returned from Germany, called for "Three cheers for President Wilson," and there were loud huzzahs for him and for the Allies. "You and I are allies now," Kedzie murmured to the Marquess.
"Do you know, Nikhil," he said, "I believe Sandip is not irreligious his religion is of the obverse side of truth, like the dark moon, which is still a moon, for all that its light has gone over to the wrong side." "That is why," I assented, "I have always had an affection for him, though we have never been able to agree.
