Nor did she even take it in how far her advancing thought of him, and of all this subject, had outrun anything she had ever put into word or deed before.
But in these decrees the advocates of violence had for the moment gone too far they had outrun the feelings of the nation. The emigrants, indeed, neither deserved nor found sympathy in any quarter.
Virgil's lachrymae rerum hints at mystic and extra-human yearnings; to the troubadours nature was conventionally stereotyped a scenic decoration to set off sentiments more or less sincere; the roman-ticists wallow in her rugged aspects. Horace never allowed phantasy to outrun intelligence; he kept his feet on earth; man was the measure of his universe, and a sober mind his highest attribute.
Out he ran into the moonlight, and Little Sister laughed as she ran with him. In a little while she called, "Do not outrun me, Fair Brother!" But he seemed not to hear her, for not a bit did he slacken the speed of his running. Presently she cried again, "Rest with me a while, Fair Brother! Do not outrun me!"
He would be like enough to impale one of them on his great spike, or else trample them brutally under his huge feet. If he did not do one or the other, he would easily make his escape as any kind of rhinoceros can outrun a man. How were they to manage him then? Perhaps they might get near fire at him from an ambush, and with a lucky shot stretch him out.
Let us begone the place is sad and strange How far, far off, these happy times appear; All that I have to live I'd gladly change For one such month as I have wasted here To draw long dreams of beauty, love, and power, From founts of hope that never will outrun, And drink all life's quintessence in an hour, Give me the days when I was twenty-one!
A swift courier was despatched on the fifth, with a letter dated back to July twenty-first, and written as if in ignorance of events in Spain. He was enjoined to outrun the ordinary news-carriers, in order that, reaching St. Petersburg before them, he might present as an offering of friendship to Alexander the promise of a virtual evacuation of Prussia even, in certain contingencies, of Warsaw.
Public prayer was offered upon the third day from the Kaaba itself, and with that the Pilgrimage came to an end. Mahomet tried earnestly to win over and conciliate the Meccans during this meagre three days' sojourn, but his task was beyond the power even of his magnificent energy. At the end of the third day the Meccans returned. "Thy time is outrun: depart thou out of our city."
The only limit to the clergyman's duty is his strength: and very often that limit is outrun. Oh that one could wisely fix what one may safely and rightly do; and then resolutely determine not to attempt any more! But who can do that? If your heart be in your work, you are every now and then knocking yourself up. And you cannot help it.
Even when Christina did outrun her quarterly stipend by some thirty shillings or a couple of pounds, it was always made perfectly clear to Theobald how the deficiency had arisen there had been an unusually costly evening dress bought which was to last a long time, or somebody's unexpected wedding had necessitated a more handsome present than the quarter's balance would quite allow: the excess of expenditure was always repaid in the following quarter or quarters even though it were only ten shillings at a time.
