Here they lie, the quintessential relics of those little Eocene fishes and other sea beasts, if such they were, that swam and crawled about the waters many years ago piled up on terraces so high that the mind grows dizzy at contemplating their multitudes, or the ages required to squeeze them into this priceless powder; piled up for 500 miles along their old sea-beach an arid inland chain of hills, nowadays, where hardly a blade of grass will grow; sterile themselves, the cause of surpassing fertility elsewhere.
Morgan Ruyler married again as soon as convention would permit, this time carefully selecting a wife of the soundest New York predispositions and with a personal admiration of Queen Victoria; and he had watched young Price like an affectionate but inexorable parent hawk until the young man followed his brother a quintessential Ruyler into the now historic firm.
VIRGINIA: How treacherous is our memory when we have most the longing to recall great sayings! OSIER: True, I conceive that my notes will be precious. WINIFRED: You could take notes! LADY OLDLACE: It seems a device for missing the quintessential. SWITHIN: Scraps of the body to the loss of the soul of it. We can allow that our friend performed good menial service.
How can a man suck from another man's brain a thing as intangible, as quintessential as thought?" "Ah," she replied, "you forget, thought is more real than blood!" Only three hours had passed since Ethel had startled Ernest from his sombre reveries, but within this brief space their love had matured as if each hour had been a year.
then he achieved the miracle of a quintessential statement of the spirit of the English Renaissance. For the breath of it stirs in these slow quiet moving lines, and its few and simple words implicate the soul of a period. By the end of the first quarter of the century the influence of Spenser and the school which worked under it had died out.
In such a moonlight Gloria's face was of a pervading, reminiscent white, and with a modicum of effort they would slip off the blinders of custom and each would find in the other almost the quintessential romance of the vanished June.
They have, rather, a quintessential Frenchman of to-day, even more widely representative of his countrymen than Lincoln was of ours. "The fame of one man," says Henri Bordeaux, "is nothing unless its represents the obscure deeds of the anonymous multitude." This is a typically modern idea, and typically French.
The word Mind, or Thought, which he regarded as the quintessential product of the Will, also represented the medium in which the ideas originate to which thought gives substance. The Idea, a name common to every creation of the brain, constituted the act by which man uses his mind. Thus the Will and the Mind were the two generating forces; the Volition and the Idea were the two products.
The critic’s interest then lies in watching how the poet will comport himself in another field of imaginative literature—a field where no such conditions as these exist—a field where quintessential and concrete diction, though meritorious, may yet be carried too far, and where those regular and expected bars of the metricist which are the first requisites of verse are not only without function, but are in the way—are fatal, indeed, to that kind of convincement which, and which alone, is the proper quest of prose art.
In its Paganism of Christianity which lacks all the manly virtue of genuine Paganism that portion of the artistic Renaissance which leans towards the world and the flesh is concentrated and is given as in quintessential form.
