I have slept in the American Desert for a period of thirty nights, between the earth and the heavens, and found a better bed than was made by the ossified mattress and petrified pillows of the "Daphne."
Intra-articular ligaments, such as the ligamentum teres in the hip, are usually worn away and disappear. The surrounding muscles undergo atrophy, tendons become adherent to their sheaths and may be ossified, and the sheaths of nerves may be involved by the cicatricial changes in the surrounding tissues.
Soon the old traditions reasserted themselves somewhat modified, to be sure, yet basically the same Saracenic civilization became stereotyped, ossified, and with this ossification changeful unrest died away.
To which he replied with this record-breaking joke: "Those are the H's that Englishmen have been dropping for generations, and being characteristic of this solid nation, they thus ossified them." I forgave Jimmie a good deal for that joke. At the pier at Henley a man met us with a little boat and rowed us up the river, past dozens of house-boats moored along the bank.
The Western student is scarcely to be blamed for thinking of the typical Yogi as an emaciated, fanatical, dirty, ignorant Hindu, who either sits in a fixed posture until his body becomes ossified, or else holds his arm up in the air until it becomes stiff and withered and forever after remains in that position, or perhaps clenches his fist and holds it tight until his fingernails grow through the palms of his hands.
The critics and in speaking of them one always modestly leaves one's self out of the count, for some reason when they are not elders ossified in tradition, are apt to be young people, and young people are necessarily conservative in their tastes and theories.
"Meanin' that mornin' when Kane Lawler hopped off the train with his bunch of cowhands an' Blondy Antrim," snickered Corwin. "Dave Singleton an' Gary Warden an' Jordan an' Simmons an' that pony-built girl which is stayin' over to the Two Diamond with that ossified woman she calls 'Aunt Hannah, was on the platform waitin' for the six o'clock train from the east.
He showed me that the black and gangrened side of the body would soon be cured; that the putrefied flesh which had collected around the wounds represented heretics who divide one from the other in proportion as they increase; that the dead flesh was the figure of all who are spiritually dead, and who are void of any feeling; and that the ossified parts represented obstinate and hardened heretics.
Was it the beginning, the promise of that reconciliation with death which nature brings to life at last, or was it merely the effect, or defect, of ossified sensibilities, of toughened nerves? "That is all?" he asked of the spectral sacristan. "That is all," the man said, and March felt in his pocket for a coin commensurate to the service he had done them; it ought to be something handsome.
Because of the peculiar manner in which the second and third metacarpal bones articulate in young animals, until the bones become ossified and permanently joined, the inflammation which attends the acute stage of this affection, causes lameness.
