See, Harold, how Jerrie outshines me, and she lifted her sparkling face to Harold, who looked down at her as a brother might have looked at an only sister of whom he was very fond.
Where is he who in the secret of his heart does not propose to himself any other object than to distinguish himself? Provided that he lifts himself above the vulgar, provided that he outshines the brilliance of his competitors, what does he demand more? The essential thing is to think differently from others. With believers he is an atheist; with atheists he would be a believer."
Claudia herself was a brilliant brunette, but here was another brunette who eclipsed her in her own splendid style of beauty as an astral lamp outshines a candle. Cleopatra, Thais, Aspasia, or any other world-renowned siren who had governed kingdoms through kings' passions, might have been just such a woman as this sleeping Venus.
In the course of 1808, it was said in the essay, "On the Regeneration of Germany," that the Germans were still children whom it was solely possible for the French to educate: "Our language is also not logical like French if we intend to attain unity, we must adhere with heart and soul to him who has smoothed the path to it, to him, our securest support, to him, whose name outshines that of Charlemagne foreign princes in German countries are no proof of subjection, they, on the contrary, most surely warrant our continued existence as a nation."
The love of Christ is a pure spiritual passion. There is no theorizing about him, not even much personal distinctness, only the consciousness as of some celestial personality. The seen and unseen worlds seem to blend in a common atmosphere. Even as an ideal, this transcends the philosophy of Epictetus, and outshines the vision of Plato.
"Ethelyn," said her mother, "if you don't stop using those slang phrases, you shan't go in the parade at all. Now promise to talk like a lady, and I'll see to it that your sleigh outshines all the rest." "All right," said Ethelyn, "I'll promise. Now, how shall we decorate it?" "Never mind," said her mother, "I wouldn't trust you with the secret.
The castle was less admirable for its magnificence than for the charms of those who inhabited it. They were of either sex, well matched in beauty, youth, and grace; but among this charming group the brilliant Alcina shone, as the sun outshines the stars. The young warrior was fascinated. All that he had heard from the myrtle-tree appeared to him but a vile calumny.
But, in fact, each new splendor of this sort outshines the last, and unless we could pass from one to another all in the same suite, we cannot remember them well enough to compare the Borghese with the Albani, the effect being more on the fancy than on the intellect.
But we must pass them by, to emphasize a quality that out-tops and outshines them all, his humanity. This is Mr. Punch's specialty, generating his purest fun and consecrating his versatile talents to highest ends.
Then the bright light from the burning log outshines the lamp, and glances rosy on the silver tankard standing under a glass shade on a bracket against the wall. Hilary's father won it near half a century since in some heats that were run on the Downs on the old racecourse, before it was ploughed up.
