His fame, the echo of whose blast drove to me From the far distance, weakened in my soul No other thought than this I am appointed To offer myself up in passiveness to him. COUNTESS. That is thy fate. Mould thou thy wishes to it I and thy mother gave thee the example. THEKLA. My fate hath shown me him, to whom behoves it That I should offer up myself. In gladness Him will I follow.
Rachel lay down on her sofa, and fell asleep, nor did Alick find any occasion for blaming Grace when he returned the next day. The effect of the conversation had been to bring Rachel to a meek submission, very touching in its passiveness and weary peacefulness.
Life means to each one of us what we are able to receive of it in "wise passiveness," and then are able by the constructive force of our individuality to shape into coherence and completeness.
One would not believe the utter passiveness of the people. As yet no news has been received of the steamer 'Delia, which is supposed to be the one sunk in yesterday's storm on Lake Catahoula. She is due here now, but has not arrived. Even the mail here is most uncertain, and this I send by skiff to Natchez to get it to you.
One of the strangest phenomena of our time, and one which will probably be a matter of astonishment to our descendants, is the doctrine which is founded upon this triple hypothesis: the radical passiveness of mankind, the omnipotence of the law, the infallibility of the legislator: this is the sacred symbol of the party which proclaims itself exclusively democratic.
They have certainly a clear idea of the aim, the reassembling of the Jewish nation, but not of the means.

Dumouriez was not the hero of a principle, but of the occasion. The new ministers met at Madame Roland's, the soul of the Girondist ministry: Duranton, Lacoste, Cahier-Gerville received there, in all passiveness, their instructions from the men whose shadows only they were in the council.
It is for him to make his own arrangements, but I brought my coach empty on purpose to transport you and your ladies to Monceaux. The women may follow with the mails. You can be ready as soon as the horses are harnessed. Elisabeth was used to passiveness. She turned one inquiring look to her husband, but he looked sullen, and, evidently cowed by his mother, uttered not a word.
But a suppressed resolve will betray itself in the eyes, and Stephen became more and more uneasy as the day advanced, under the sense that Maggie had entirely lost her passiveness. He longed, but did not dare, to speak of their marriage, of where they would go after it, and the steps he would take to inform his father, and the rest, of what had happened.
He was good to look at-clean-shaven, broad of brow, fine of figure, composed of carriage, though it was not the composure of the people by whom he was surrounded. They were dignified, he was graceful; they were consistently slow of movement, but at times his quick gestures showed that he had not been able to train his spirit to that passiveness by which he lived surrounded.
