How can I tell what the desert desires?" "Already you personify it!" The network of wrinkles showed itself in his brown face as he smiled, surely with triumph. "I think I did that from the first," she answered gravely. "I know I did." "And what sort of personage does the desert seem to you?" "You ask me a great many questions to-day." "Mirage questions, perhaps. Forgive me.
The sun is so hot and hoeing potatoes is such a tiring task that I prefer to lounge in the shade with my back against the Constitution. In thinking of the pursuit of happiness I am inclined to personify happiness and then watch the chase, wondering whether the pursuer will ever overtake her, and what he'll do when he does.
Ah! what anxiety consumed his poor, tender, enthusiastic heart! On leaving Paris things had seemed so simple, so natural to him! He was unjustly accused, and he started off to defend himself, arrived and flung himself at the feet of the Holy Father, who listened to him indulgently. Did not the Pope personify living religion, intelligence to understand, justice based upon truth?
He knows that not France alone but every nation has need to-day and henceforth of leaders who will do just what he did: personify the highest ideals of their people and prepare themselves to defend those ideals intelligently, unselfishly, devoutly. He has established a new standard in leadership.
I again thought I had been taken at unawares and was conversing with another person. My friend was equipped in the Highland garb, and so completely translated into another being that, save by his speech, all the senses of mankind could not have recognized him. I blessed myself, and asked whom it was his pleasure to personify to-night?
Besides, was not the young gentlewoman in great wrong, and therefore before her must she not personify an awful Purity? 'That I will tell to none but my lord marquis, answered Dorothy, with sudden resolve. 'Oh, by all means, mistress! but an' thou think to lead him by the nose while I be in Raglan, 'Shall I inform his lordship in what high opinion his housekeeper holds him? said Dorothy.
Did he not, delicious, gross, unconscious man, personify beneath his Americo-Italian polish all those rank and primitive instincts, whose satisfaction necessitated the million miseries of his fellows; all those thick rapacities which stir the hatred of the humane and thin-skinned! And yet, one's meditation could not stop there it was not convenient to the heart!
Others are more beautiful; others are more stately and imposing; others have been fitted by external gifts of nature to personify characters of very marked features; others are more graceful and lovely and winning; most others mingle their own personality with the characters they assume, but Rachel has this final evidence of genius, that she is always superior to what she does; her mind presides over her own performances.
We did not personify machine guns, or those monstrous, gloomy, big howitzers with their gaping maws, or other weapons; but every man in the army personified the tanks. Two or three tanks, I should have remarked, did start for Berlin, without waiting for the infantry. The temptation was strong. All they had to do was to keep on moving.
Our limited mortal consciousness is responsible for the tendency to personify everything, instead of to realize the principles underlying all expression. God and the Devil have been the personification of the two phases of the principles of Evolution, from animal man to spiritual man. Romulus and Remus have been presented as an actual and specific instance of twins; likewise Castor and Pollux.
