"The uffish spectral gleaming of that wild resounding clang Came hooting o'er the margin of the dusky moors that hang Like palls of inky darkness where the hoarse, weird raven calls, And the bhang-drunk Hindoo staggers on and on until he falls." Isn't that Well, now, isn't that just the most fearful mess of stuff that was ever ground out of a lunatic asylum? "'It's the awfullest I ever saw.
I am sick of pleasure, of jewels, of travel, of society, of luxuries of all kinds." "I always had an idea," ventured the young man, hesitatingly, "that money must be a pretty good thing." "A competence is to be desired. But when you have so many millions that !" She concluded the sentence with a gesture of despair. "It is the monotony of it," she continued, "that palls.
How transcendent must have been this form of joy when it rewarded the first who saw the spectrum analysis of starlight in its fullness of meaning, or to him who first knew where and how the blood runs its wonderful courses! Then, too, the life of other men, of the merchant and the lawyer, palls as age advances and its rewards are paid in dollars or in honor.
So Plank called up a livery and arranged for transportation at one; and Leila seated herself at a card-table and began to deal herself cold decks, thoughtfully. "That bit in 'Carmen," she said, "it always brings the shudder; it never palls on me, never grows stale." She whipped the ominous spade from the pack and held it out.
The opera, where night after night the wealth of glorious voices is flung upon the air till its every vibration is melody, and the spirit drinks it in as it would the incense of rare flowers, is to her not so exquisite a luxury as the choice songs, warbled in a concert room, to which you may listen but few times in the year; such pleasure palls in repetition, on the common mind, for nature's favourites are among the poor, and gold, with all its magical power, can never attune the ear to music, nor the taste to an appreciation of that which is truly beautiful in nature or art.

They are not as dignified as their archaic predecessors. Very rich funeral palls were in vogue in the sixteenth century.
A place replete with shadowy shapes, this Mugby Junction in the black hours of the four-and-twenty. Mysterious goods trains, covered with palls and gliding on like vast weird funerals, conveying themselves guiltily away from the presence of the few lighted lamps, as if their freight had come to a secret and unlawful end.
Pleasure, when it is a Man's chief Purpose, disappoints it self; and the constant Application to it palls the Faculty of enjoying it, tho' it leaves the Sense of our Inability for that we wish, with a Disrelish of every thing else. Thus the intermediate Seasons of the Man of Pleasure are more heavy than one would impose upon the vilest Criminal.
The blossoms are large, white, and of pleasant odor, followed by a round fruit about as large as a well-developed California peach, with a smooth skin, cream-colored within and without. The pulp is as firm as a ripe seckel pear, and the taste is so strong of otto-of-rose that more than one at a time palls upon the palate.
I will make sure that Hosea shall shut his eyes to the other's death; but Pharaoh, whether his name is Meneptah or" he lowered his voice "Siptah, must then raise him to so great a height and he merits it that his giddy eyes will never discern aught we desire to conceal. There is one dish that never palls on any man who has once tasted it." "And what is that?" "Power, Hornecht mighty power!
