The ancient words came up clearly and distinctly to him, and softened his heart with the indefinable and exquisite pathos of the refrain whenever it is sung by the sweet voices of children.

Winstanley is especially full of pathos and action. We watch this heroic man as he builds the lighthouse on the Eddystone rocks:
Now, gentlemen, do your best for me. Just five years more well, we won't haggle over terms give me one year more and I'll not complain!" The three men of science stood with folded helpless arms and made no effort to keep back the tears. They had seen many men die. It was nothing new and yet the pity and pathos of this strange appeal found its way to the soul of each.
George Bertram had promised himself that the moment in which he first saw Jerusalem should be one of intense mental interest; and when, riding away from the orange gardens at Jaffa, he had endeavoured to urge his Arab steed into that enduring gallop which was to carry him up to the city of the sepulchre, his heart was ready to melt into ecstatic pathos as soon as that gallop should have been achieved.
