"When a big story breaks loose a strike or a murder, or a bank robbery one likes the excitement, but when things quiet down the dull routine palls on you. I won't stay in it." "Then what will you do?" "Hike it up to the Northwest and dig for gold," he replied. Confidentially he went on: "I have the chance of a quarter interest in a mine up there. If I strike luck, I'll be richer than Croesus."
In the Grand Canyon there are thousands of gorges like that below Niagara Palls, and there are a thousand Yosemites. Yet all these canyons unite to form one grand canyon, the most sublime spectacle on the earth. Pluck up Mt. Washington by the roots to the level of the sea and drop it headfirst into the Grand Canyon, and the dam will not force its waters over the walls.
"Doubtless it is a brilliant masquerade; But when of the first sight you've had your fill, It palls at least it does so upon me, This paradise of pleasure and ennui." When one is getting on for forty; "When we have made our love, and gamed our gaming, Dressed, voted, shone, and maybe, something more; With dandies dined, heard senators declaiming; Seen beauties brought to market by the score,"
It is distributed in the nicest proportion; neither so strong as to depress the organs, nor so faint as to elude them. We are soon cloyed at a sumptuous banquet, but this pleasure never loses its poignancy, never palls the appetite; here luxury itself is innocent; or rather, in this case, indulgence is not capable of excess.
"He can never bear to remain in one place for any length of time together. He is now going to sell the property he only bought last year. There is an instability about him; everything palls on him." "That is the complaint of many who are rich and well to do in the world." "Yes; only not in the same degree. I assure you it has often struck me that man must have a bad conscience."
It is a good joke, this of Nature paling before Art, or reduced to plagiarising Art, "Where, if not from the Impressionists, do we get those wonderful brown fogs that come creeping down our streets, blurring the gas lamps and changing the houses into monstrous shadows?" but as the basis of a philosophy of Art it palls.
Let those who have no virtuous indignation obey the voice of fashion, and at her commands let her slaves eat the bread of idleness till it palls upon the sense! I reproach myself with having yielded, as I have done of late, my opinions to the persuasions of friendship; my mind has become enervated, and I must fly from the fatal contagion.
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!
The Lord Dudley in like manner offered a pall... the Lord Grey Ruthen offered another, and every each of the three Earls offered to the corpse three palls of the same cloth of gould... all the palls were layd crosse over the corpse."
The poets tell you, and rightly, that solitude is the fit sphere for love; but how few are the lovers whom solitude does not fatigue! they rush into retirement, with souls unprepared for its stern joys and its unvarying tranquillity: they weary of each other, because the solitude itself to which they fled, palls upon and oppresses them.
