This disgusting literature corrupts and pollutes the mind and morals of a large class of people who have not the courage to disbelieve its monstrous exaggerations, or the good sense to despise its revolting indecencies.
These are melancholy sounds to a quiet listener at any time; but how melancholy to the watcher by the bed of death! 'There is no air here, said the man faintly. 'The place pollutes it. It was fresh round about, when I walked there, years ago; but it grows hot and heavy in passing these walls. I cannot breathe it. 'We have breathed it together, for a long time, said the old man. 'Come, come.
If I were only an old Greek, how I would pray to Minerva for help, and call upon Hercules to remove this Augean dirt, that pollutes and lumbers all the chambers of my mind! But when the old Greeks called, were they answered? Ah, there is nothing to hope for! Yet Socrates believed in these spiritual existences; he ordered a cock to be sacrificed to Esculapius as he was drinking the hemlock.
I shall certainly spit that insolent upstart one of these days. He is giving himself all the airs of a grand personage, and boasts openly that before long he will be the Sieur Le Blanc. He is a serpent, monsieur a crawling, loathsome, deadly serpent; his breath pollutes the very air." "He is no worse than his kind," I replied somewhat bitterly.

What if my flesh only pollutes the sea, when I plunge, and makes all black? God help me!!! You are a negrophile and don't half understand. 'Yours truly, I questioned the steward.
The poet should mete out their deserts to all his heroes; honor to whom honor, and infamy to whom infamy, is due. "It is true that the wrong in this case is in a great degree fathered upon our own Massachusetts; and it maybe said that it is afoul bird that pollutes its own nest. We deny the applicability of the rather musty proverb. All the worse.
Weel, ye hae it! Ah sez; for if ye're that set on gettin' yer bit screechin' boax ma advice'll no hold ye back, so ye may get yer piece o' idolatory, Ah sez; 'but mark ma word! Ah sez, 'mark ma word, the day yon thing raises its noise an' pollutes the holy place Ah'll no resign.
Cels. 1. 3, num. 36, ed. This faultlessness is more peculiar than we are apt to imagine. Some stain pollutes the morals or the morality of almost every other teacher, and of every other lawgiver.* Zeno the stoic, and Diogenes the cynic, fell into the foulest impurities; of which also Socrates himself was more than suspected. Solon forbade unnatural crimes to slaves.
