Upon flintiest pavements he trod the boards still; and if his theme chanced to be passionate, the green baize carpet of tragedy spontaneously rose beneath his feet. Now this was hearty, and showed a love for his art. So Apelles always painted in thought. So G.D. always poetises. I hate a lukewarm artist.
This resolution, which is almost resignation, poetises the attitude of the whole people; it made Colville feel as if he had done nothing and borne nothing yet. "I am ashamed," he said, not without a remote resentment of the unworthiness of the republican voters of Des Vaches, "when I hear of such things, to think of what we are at home, with all our resources and opportunities."
I occupy myself principally " "With the taming of wild beasts," interrupted the princess, maliciously. "No, with with reminiscences of my travels, which I recount to Hartmut, while he poetises a little, and composes melancholy odes from them.
