These views of the battle, I am told, are unduly pessimistic. But I let them stand as a record of personal feelings aroused as a result of the battle. Brigade Head-quarters were accommodated in wooden huts, but the battalions were mostly under canvas.
He felt uncomfortable. "Don't you think he would get the right atmosphere better perhaps than anyone?" queried Farraday, who seemed courteously anxious to elicit Stefan's opinion. Mary interposed hastily. "Mr. Farraday, he can't answer you. I'm afraid I've been stupid, but I was so pessimistic about these verses that I wouldn't show them to him.
True we can't get back to our front; and true again the chances are thousands to one against our escaping capture, but Holland is somewhere back of us and to the north -and we have that one chance, in spite of all the odds." "And what'll they do to us in Holland -intern us for the duration of the war!" Bob was still pessimistic. "Oh, you can't tell.
That book has had a flutter of success, but in how large a degree was the success owing to the curiosity excited by the book of a man of my generation being brought out now, and by the publisher of the men of this? With all my sympathy with the work of the younger men and my admiration of some of it, things, I say, have changed since those days.” I did not share these pessimistic views.
"A dry-farmer kin have six months of hard luck three times a year for four and five years, hand-runnin'. In fact, they ain't no limit to the time and the kind of things that kin happen to a dry-farmer." "But what could happen now?" Wallie asked, startled.

He discovers a new sin every day. Better one hour of Nietzsche's dancing madness than a cycle of Tolstoy's pessimistic renunciations. And all his ethical propaganda does not shake in the least our conviction of the truth and grandeur of Tolstoy's art.
He ordered the staff to select a defensive line eastward from Estcourt which his army might occupy until the end of the hot season. His message to White in Ladysmith was still more pessimistic, and with an intention that was chivalrous but was not war he "spatchcocked" into it a suggestion that White should surrender, and even indicated how the gain to the enemy could be minimised.
Too much poetry that is sensual, flippant, drearily pessimistic, morbid, or obscure, is included in anthologies because cleverly wrought, with a sense for form and cadence. Too many stories, too many pictures, are applauded by critics, though in subject and tone they are contemptible.
But for the most part he was a great hope a sort of visible atonement for their sufferings. He at least was an achievement; he was something they had done. And he could not be undone, nor doubted he put all skepticism to flight. In his vicinity there was no room for pessimistic philosophies, for Weltschmerz or Karma.
He was in a very pessimistic frame of mind when Jimmy curveted into the room, with his head in the clouds and his feet on air. "Can you spare me a few minutes, Mr. McEachern?" said Jimmy. The policeman stared heavily. "I can," he said slowly. "What is ut?" "Several things," said Jimmy, sitting down. "I'll take them in order. I'll start with our bright friend, Galer." "Galer!"
