Where is the opinion? Very well. Atony asinis! Plethora asini! Nervousness asinorum! Drink the Clear Waters asininum! Do you know what is your disease? It is vexation, and even worse." "Do you see that?" said Charming, terrified. "Yes, my son, it is written on your tongue. But I will cure you: it shall be done by to-morrow noon." "To-morrow!" said the king. "All my treasures " "Silence, my son.
They have the same, if not an exaggerated, gorgeousness of bad taste, the same plethora of ostentatious "luxuries" that add nothing to the real comfort of the man of refinement, the same pier glasses in heavy gilt frames, the same marble consoles, the same heavy hangings and absurdly soft carpets.
We can follow the Valkyrie, Siegfried and the Dusk of the Gods quite well without it. Still, it is a part of Wagner's scheme, and for many a long year will be enjoyed for its power and beauty, a power and beauty that seem small only in comparison with the greater operas. The Rhinegold suffers from a plethora of undeveloped themes, some of which are treated at length as the Ring proceeds.
I suppose, if anything is certain, a plenitude, nay a plethora, of work is assured for some time after the war. Capital has piled up in hands which will control a vast amount of improved and convertible machinery. Purchasing power has piled up in the shape of savings out of the increased national income.
And over all there is the bright, blue, painted sky, studded, almost distractedly studded, with a plethora of the yellow stars the Egyptians made like starfish. The restored apricot-colored columns outside look unhappily suburban when you are near them. The white columns with their architraves are more pleasant to the eyes.
I involuntarily think of this good nurse when I hear all social evils explained by these common phrases: "It is the superabundance of products, the tyranny of capital, industrial plethora," and other idle stories of which we cannot even say: verba et voces prætereaque nihil: for they are also fatal mistakes. From what precedes, two things result 1st.
Nay, its very shadow seems so richly heavy as to be the shadow of a fane erected by men endowed with a plethora of this world's goods to a god otiose in his grandeur. Ranged around the building in ring fashion, the hamlet's squat white huts stand girdled with belts of plaited wattle, shawled in the gorgeous silken scarves of gardens, and crowned with a flowered brocadework of reed-thatched roofs.
In the first place, the performance is too long for the European taste, and in the next, most Japanese plays are of one kind, and concerned with one period the feudal. There is, moreover, a plethora of by-play sword exercise and acrobatic performances which have nothing whatever to do with the plot of the piece.
"Would it were altogether impossible!" said Villiers heartily "But as long as there is a plethora of little authors, and a scarcity of great ones, so long, I suppose, must it continue for little men love notoriety, and great ones shrink from it, just in the same way that good women like flattery, while bad ones court it.
But it is seen far more painfully and unmistakably in the alternate plethora and destitution between which, from year's end to year's end, the whole population seems to oscillate.
