They may have heard much of the evil of the world, and seem to know it, but only as an impalpable theory. In due time, some mortal, whom they reverence too highly, is commissioned by Providence to teach them this direful lesson; he perpetrates a sin; and Adam falls anew, and Paradise, heretofore in unfaded bloom, is lost again, and dosed forever, with the fiery swords gleaming at its gates.
That would make a fine picture, and it I were an artist I would paint it some day. Perhaps Maude will. Poor little Maude! Did I tell you that while she was absent she dabbled in water-colors? and now she has what she calls a studio, where she perpetrates the most atrocious daubs you ever saw. Poor Maude!
The hotel proprietor had not risen from his chair. He shrugged and smiled as he looked up at her. "Vat you vant?" he asked. Miss Gregory frowned. "I want a room for the night," she answered. "A room and dinner, please." The man smiled again and bit his nails. He was a lean creature, unshaven and sidelong, and he had the furtive and self-conscious air of one who perpetrates a practical joke.
Sometimes, this astonishing regularity manifested itself in patches; a thing to upset all the calculations of note taking gamblers who play with a pencil and a memorandum book in their hands Fortune perpetrates some terrible jests at roulette! Since my entry not more than half an hour could have elapsed.
Now, what more appropriate torture would Dante himself have contrived, for the sinner who perpetrates a bad book, than to be continually turning over the manuscript?" "It would fail of effect," said I, "because a bad author is always his own great admirer." "I lack that one characteristic of my tribe, the only desirable one," observed Oberon.
ACTS constitute protection; and is that public sentiment which makes the slave 'property, and perpetrates hourly robbery and batteries upon him, so penetrated with a sense of the sacredness of his right to life, that it will protect it at all hazards, and drag to the gallows his OWNER, if he take the life of his own property?
"That our garners may be full of all manner of store." Our grain is used to poison; our bread-stuff is turned to the venom of asps and the bread winner is burdened with disease of drunkeness, where health should be the result, of raising that which, when rotted and made into alcohol, perpetrates ruin and death; Our garners or grain houses are spoiled or robbed.
Are the combined product of human experience, and the concurrent records of human character, to be set down as 'old wives' fables? To disbelieve that arbitrary power naturally and habitually perpetrates cruelties, where it can do it with impunity, is not only ignorance of man, but of things.
""Parasara said, 'Without doubt, O king, both, viz., acts and birth, are sources of demerit. Listen now to their difference. That man who, though stained by birth, does not commit sin, abstains from sin notwithstanding birth and acts. If, however, a person of superior birth perpetrates censurable acts, such acts stain him.
I am continually learning that words in certain relations are misplaced where I never suspected the smallest derangement, and, no doubt, there are many dislocations which I have not yet discovered. So far as my own people are concerned, I don't take this to heart, because my countryman very likely perpetrates three barbarisms in correcting my one.
