On the 22d of April, 1803, his birth-day, the last which he lived to see, was celebrated in a full assembly of his friends. This festival he had long looked forward to with great expectation, and delighted even to hear the progress made in the preparations for it. But when the day came, the over-excitement and tension of expectation seemed to have defeated itself.
Biron built his famous private asylum in the very heart of Passy, intended, according to his prospectus, to provide a retreat for people suffering from nervous breakdown or from overwork or over-excitement, and to offer hospital treatment to the insane, in order to secure a kind of official sanction for his institution, he took the wise precaution to proclaim from the housetops that he would enlist the services of ex-medical officers of the hospitals.
Mix the beverage in a cold cup, partake with moderation, and keep a wet rag around your head to guard against over-excitement. I wonder why some things are? For instance, Art is allowed as much indecent license today as in earlier times but the privileges of Literature in this respect have been sharply curtailed within the past eighty or ninety years.
Elsje had the child-like power of enjoyment, that in a trifle an opening flower, a new piece of furniture, an ornament or decoration, a song, a few fine lines of poetry can find gratification and delight for hours and days. She had the pure taste that, above all, fears overloading and over-excitement, and takes pleasure only in what is simple and what is truly enjoyed.
I hardly know what we are saying, or why we are here. I never felt so before." "It is over-excitement and fatigue," he replied soothingly. "Do you feel afraid, too?" "Terribly!" she answered; "I want to run away. But I think death excites almost more than it frightens. My father laughs at it even now." "I am more concerned about you," continued Hazard.
This was unprecedented for the wedding of great personages that the end of the entertainment should take place in the douar; but it was said that the bride was ill with over-excitement, and rather than put off the marriage, her father had decided to try the effect of desert air. This was the news which was told to Max at the Agha's gates after his forced march from Touggourt.
He went out to fetch his wife home from her supper-party; and Janetta hastened up to her room, not being anxious to meet her stepmother on her return, in the state of rampant vanity and over-excitement to which an assembly of her friends usually brought her. It could not be said that Mrs.
Moreover, he showed himself very gay, found some witty remarks to repeat, and even some rather ribald jests. But when the champagne appeared after the roast and the grand burgundies, his over-excitement brought him back perforce to his real nature.
At the same time, I saw Saumarez's face as he heard Maud Copleigh's voice, and fifty yards away from the clump of orange-trees I saw a brown holland habit getting upon a horse. It must have been my state of over-excitement that made me so quick to meddle with what did not concern me. Saumarez was moving off to the habit; but I pushed him back and said: "Stop here and explain.
And this was, no doubt, a principal cause of that over-excitement and apparently unnecessary energy in his manner of speaking, of which he was himself perfectly, and even painfully, conscious. He was wont to say, that before he could speak he had to make a voice, and, as it were, to pump it from the very core of his frame.
