The hypnotist of high finance or big business merely writes his commands in heaven with a finger of fire. All men really are guys, in the sense of dummies. We are only the victims of his pyrotechnic violence; and it is he who hits us in the eye. This is the real case against that modern society that is symbolised by such art and architecture.
During the night of the evacuation, the roar of artillery exceeded anything that had been heard before. From one end of the line to the other the shells and shot poured into our camps, and the arches of fire that marked the courses of the shells, with flame spouting from the mouths of the guns, created a magnificent pyrotechnic display.
The rapid spread of the theory, traveling from Sulphite to Sulphite, like the spark of a pyrotechnic set-piece, till the thinking world has been over-violently illuminated, has obscured its genesis and diverted attention from the simplicity and force of its fundamental principles.
Thorne," said he, with a sickly smile, "is a a mere fancy of mine, childish, but in the salver I shall burn some pyrotechnic preparations, while the picture is being exhibited, by way of substitute for daylight. Excuse me a moment," added he, as he went into the bedroom again. "Blount," said Dr. Thorne, in my ear, "why have you permitted this? What ails that boy?

A few days afterward she wrote to me from a house in Hampshire, where many of her particular friends were gathered, among them Alfred Lyttelton. The conversation is pyrotechnic and it is all quite delightful. A beautiful place paradoxical arguments ideals raised and shattered temples torn and battered temptations given way to newspapers unread acting rhyming laughing ad infinitum.
"I vote," said Batson, one of the big boys like Tom and I were now, "that we buy our fireworks on Saturday, in spite of what Old Growler has declared, and if he does not allow us to let them off in the evening, why we'll have `a grand pyrotechnic display, as the newspapers say, at night in the dormitories."
The eggs are luminous; the grubs likewise. The full-grown females are magnificent light-houses, the adult males retain the glimmer which the grubs already possessed. We can understand the object of the feminine beacon; but of what use is all the rest of the pyrotechnic display? To my great regret, I cannot tell.
Throughout the evening the capacity of the building was taxed to the utmost by those who came to enjoy New York's proverbial hospitality. The exterior of the building and the grounds were illuminated on a lavish scale by the Pain Pyrotechnic Company, of New York city.
