And truly, having observed how little invention bears any vogue besides what is derived into these channels, I have sometimes had a thought that the happy genius of our age and country was prophetically held forth by that ancient typical description of the Indian pigmies whose stature did not exceed above two feet, sed quorum pudenda crassa, et ad talos usque pertingentia.
"'Tain't that," corrected Inez recklessly, "it's just because we are all too lazy to do the things we know Jane will do. I have been reading up on psychology, and you may now expect me to spoil every dream of childhood with a reason why," and Inez threw her head up prophetically. "Alluring prospects this year," groaned Velma Sigsbee.
And these involuntary starts of fancy were, after all, but the setting of a picture in which three people kept before him. His father, with the steadfast look with which he had died, prophetically darkened forth in the portrait; his mother, with her arm up, warding off his suspicion; Little Dorrit, with her hand on the degraded arm, and her drooping head turned away.
We see this notion flashing out in poetry occasionally, as when Gray, in "The Bard," prophetically describing Queen Elizabeth, who was of the Tudor, a Welsh race, says: "Her eye proclaims her of the Briton line;" and, contrasting the princes of the Tudor with those of the Norman race, he exclaims: "All hail, ye genuine kings, Britannia's issue, hail!"
No, thank Heaven! there is no theory or creed or system; and yet there is something as Jefferies prophetically felt and with a great longing desired that CAN satisfy; and that, the root of all religion, has been hinted at in the last chapter.

He suddenly brought his doubled fist down upon the Prophet's knee. "No," cried Hennessey. "Certainly not!" "Why, sir, how can I be when I tell you that Merriman & Saxster of Regent Street are my tailors, and have been since my first pair of trouserings? Do I bear myself prophetically?
But the emotion of those who heard him reached its highest pitch when, after declaring that he laid down his life for the cause, and expected nothing but a verdict of death from the jury, he added, as if prophetically, that his blood would assuredly give birth to other martyrs.
