He told me some stories of his life in the Temple, little funny incidents, that he afterwards wrought into his dramas; in short, a sensible, active-minded, clearly perceptive man, with a humorous way of showing up men and matters. . . . . I wish I could know exactly what the English style good conversation. Probably it is something like plum-pudding, as heavy, but seldom so rich. After dinner Mr.
Young Jolyon also was silent; he had quickly penetrated his father's thought, for, dethroned from the high seat of an obvious and uncomplicated view of things, he had become both perceptive and subtle. The attitude he had adopted towards sexual matters fifteen years before, however, was too different from his father's. There was no bridging the gulf.
But to forbid a child to use his own perceptive faculties is to arrest the whole process of his growth. I will now go back to the Arithmetic lesson. During the years in which the children in elementary schools were examined individually in reading, writing, and arithmetic, the one virtue which was inculcated while the arithmetic lesson was in progress was that of obedience to the formulated rule.
Densher felt, with this, that his companion had indeed perceptive flights he couldn't hope to match had for instance another when she still subjoined: "And Mrs. Stringham's appearing to respond just in order to make that impression." "Well," Densher dropped with some humour, "life's very interesting!
He has very keen perceptive power; but what astonishes me is, that his eyes are not large and deep. He seems to see everything very accurately; and how he can do so with his small eyes, I cannot tell. They are not keen eyes, either, but quite undistinguished in any way. His nose is straight and rather handsome, his mouth expressive of sensibility and emotion.
Add to these incentives and capacities his extraordinary perceptive faculties and power of analytical observation, together with his wonderful patience, and it must be granted that he was qualified to discover in any incident connected with his pursuits more of its component parts than all other beholders, and had greater opportunities than almost any other man by which to be informed how it is that "the heart of a man changeth his countenance."
Presently a glass at the other end of the room that was bobbing up and down and about at everybody and thing at the ceiling, and the wall, and the carpet discovering the rouge upon cheeks whose ruddy freshness charmed less perceptive eyes reducing the prettiest lace to the smallest terms in substance and price detecting base cotton with one fell glance, and the part of the old dress ingeniously furbished to do duty as new this philosophic and critical glass presently encountered Mrs.
While he was saying this my eyes roved about the garden. To my astonishment I saw a man standing against the shut postern door, intently regarding us as we sat on the marble seat conferring. In my half convalescent state I had become used to acquiescence in anything and everything, I was inert mentally and physically and my perceptive faculties dulled and slow as were my intellectual processes.
The Apostle goes on to speak of the effect of such a chain of experience upon the perceptive powers of the soul; he who has these things, well; his eye shall see the King in His beauty and the land of far distances; he who has them not, he is blind and short-sighted; or, as Luther and the Vulgate render it, is blind, and gropes with his hands.
We enjoyed together that wonderful expansion of thought, that marvellous intensifying of the perceptive faculties, that boundless feeling of existence when we seem to have points of contact with the whole universe—in short, that unimaginable spiritual bliss, which I would not surrender for a throne, and which I hope you, reader, will never—never taste.
