As I prayed I strove to quest back in my life and cast a hurried tally-sheet of my own worth and unworth. I held the hat on my knees with Captain Nicholl's hat over it. The surgeon thrust in his hand and fumbled about for some time, while I wondered whether the feel of that one brown thread could be detected from the rest of the ravel. At last he withdrew his hand.
A man has no right to ravel out his life, even though the threads are of gold. A man's days of personal happiness are forgotten his work endures. And your husband in particular why the deuce should HE be so happy? The world-evolution uses us inexorably, either for light or for fuel. And Peer your husband, dear lady is too good for fuel." Merle glanced again at her husband.
During the first years that he was in America after the outbreak of war in Europe, he at least played the music that he loved. But no one was ready for programs beginning with Korngold and Cyril Scott and ending with Ravel and Scriabine and Ornstein himself. So little by little Ornstein began adulterating his programs, adding a popular piece here, another there.
The fabric of my faithful love No power shall dim or ravel Whilst I stay here, but oh, my dear, If I should ever travel! Millay. If you've spent more than one day in Okoochee, Oklahoma, you've had dinner at Pardee's. Someone a business acquaintance, a friend, a townsman has said, "Oh, you stopping at the Okmulgee Hotel? WON derful, isn't it? Nothing finer here to the Coast.
They ravel little, and can be steamed almost to their original freshness when they become worn. Of course cheap velvets and plushes which are merely velvets with a longer nap are another matter. There is much cotton in them, and consequently they catch the dirt, and are soon defaced. More and more they are passing out of use as coverings for furniture, or for seats in cars and halls.
The whole of it is not upon the same level; it consists of four platforms separated from each other by a wall of naked stones. The soil is composed of a very fine sand, which, though mixed with ravel, appears extremely fertile; but owing to the desolating spirit of Mohammedan despotism, nothing is seen in some of the richest fields except thistles and withered grass.
The men, too, in spite of their gossip and insults, lamented their departure since now they would have no one to bring them fresh meat every day. It is pleasant indeed to spend your time eating and drinking, and sleeping all day long in the cool shade of the rocks, while clouds ravel and unravel their fleecy threads on the blue shuttle of the sky. "Look at them again. There they go!"
Like the passage that ushers in the last marvelous scene of his great ballet, it seems to waken us from the unreal world to the real, and show us the face of the earth, and the overarching blue once more. And Ravel is at once more traditional and more progressive a composer than Debussy. One feels the past most strongly in him. Debussy, with his thoroughly impressionistic style, is more the time.
For although he, like other ministers, took an active part as a patriot in the Revolution, still he was brought up under the shadow of a throne, and a man cannot ravel out the stitches in which early days have knit him. His theology was, in fact, the turning to an invisible Sovereign of that spirit of loyalty and unquestioning subjugation which is one of the noblest capabilities of our nature.
If it is true that he is a Jew, then his traditionalism is but one more brilliant instance of the power of France to adopt the children of alien races and make them more intensely her own than some of her proper offspring. In no other instance, however, not in that of Lully nor in that of Franck, has the transfusion of blood been so successful. Ravel is in no wise treacherous to himself.
