I say I noted them with surprise, because he was evidently a modern Englishman, and yet unlike any other of his writing species. His name was not Alfred Tennyson, nor Edwin Arnold, nor Matthew Arnold, nor Austin Dobson, nor Martin Tupper. He was neither plagiarist nor translator he was actually an original man.
Had I been a plagiarist, how many pilferings would have been manifest, and what care would have been taken to point them out to the public! But I had done nothing of the kind.
If deceit were always as kindly and guileless, lying would grow to be the chief of human virtues; and if plagiarism always covered a jest so generous, the plagiarist would be amongst the most popular men alive. Was I busy? he asked. Was I too busy to undertake for him a very pressing piece of work he had on hand?
Now and then it takes a more violent form and becomes a real mania, as when the plagiarist openly claims and urges his right to a well-known piece of literary property. When Mr. William Allen Butler's famous poem of "Nothing to Wear" achieved its extraordinary popularity, a young girl declared and apparently quite believed that she had written it and lost the MS. in an omnibus.
But the odd thing is that scarcely any of them could conceive that it was a mistake. A third wrote in a sort of moral distress, asking, as in confidence, if Gray was really a plagiarist. They were a noble collection; but they all subtly assumed an element of leisure and exactitude in the recipient's profession and character which is far from the truth.
She doesn't do it on purpose" the Senator inclined his head with deprecation toward the sleeping form opposite, and lowered his voice "and I don't know that I'd mention it to you under any other circumstances, but momma's a fearful plagiarist. She doesn't hesitate anywhere. In dealing with her suggestions you want to be very careful. Otherwise momma'll get you into trouble."
He was an untiring and exceedingly rapid worker, a great collaborator employing many assistants, and was also a shameless plagiarist; but he succeeded in impressing his own quality on all that he published. Besides plays and novels there are several books of travel. His son, Alexandre, was born in 1824.
A Greek is now the model of the orators in the Forum; listen, and in every Roman song you will hear the rhythm of the Greek; if a Roman opens his mouth speaking wisely of moralities, or abstractions, or of the mysteries of nature, he is either a plagiarist or the disciple of some school which had a Greek for its founder. In nothing but war, I say again, has Rome a claim to originality.
Toplady regard me as a contemptible plagiarist?" "It is probable that she has formed conclusions." Lashmar's eyes fell. He saw that Constance was watching him. In the turmoil of his feelings all he could do was to jerk out an impatient laugh. "It's no use," he exclaimed. "You and I have come to a deadlock. We no longer understand each other.
You wrote, if you will forgive me, an imitation of that type. Your story has everything that we strive for except reality." "You believe that I have deliberately copied " "A type, not a story. No; you are not a plagiarist, Mr. Banneker. But you are very thoroughly a journalist." "Coming from you that can hardly be accounted a compliment." "Nor is it so intended.
