The light of romance, that glorified all things in the future, recedes as they advance, and they come upon rugged paths of fact upon plain toil and daily care, upon the market and the field, and upon men as they are in their weakness, and their selfishness, and their mutual distrust.
The further memory recedes from the shock he has sustained, the better the chance that his mind will regain its tone." De Montaigne wrung his friend's hand. "It is strange that from you should come sympathy and comfort! you whom he so injured; you whom his folly or his crime drove from your proud career, and your native soil!
Each time the tide recedes a fresh track must be made, like the track along snowy roads; and every traveller, whether on foot or in carriage, must direct his steps by this scarcely beaten path.
To me, knowing him so well as I did, it seem that as his figure recedes into the background of history, it acquires more greatness. He was a mystery to so many because few had been able to guess what it was that he really meant, or believed in, or hoped for.
No speculations are capable of restraining the man who braves public opinion, who despises the law, who is careless of its censure, who turns a deaf ear to the cries of conscience, whose power in this world places him out of the reach of punishment; in the violence of his transports, he will fear still less a distant futurity, of which the idea always recedes before that which he believes necessary to his immediate interests, consistent with his present happiness.
She wondered why she should feel so absolutely numbed why life, with its exuberances of joy and sorrow, should suddenly have receded from her as a tide recedes. There had been no battle; hers was a bloodless victory. Fate had been exquisitely kind, as is Fate's way when she would be ironical. Maxine could call up no cause for grief or for resentment, no cause even for remorse.
The skin in this work is of course made to cooperate with other parts of the body. That it is not the only organ concerned in regulating the escape of heat is seen in the results that follow sensations either of chilliness or of heat at the surface. As the warm blood recedes from the skin, a sensation of cold is felt, but when the blood returns, there is again the feeling of warmth.
This cut off the last possible chance of communication between Pemberton and Johnston, as it enabled Lauman to close up on McClernand's left while Herron intrenched from Lauman to the water's edge. At this point the water recedes a few hundred yards from the high land. Through this opening no doubt the Confederate commanders had been able to get messengers under cover of night.
Either the face of the cliff is made up of a series of broken precipices, or the face of the precipices is too smooth, or the otherwise suitable ledges are situated too near the water, or the water recedes from the base of the cliff at low tide. Many miles of rock-bound coast are thus useless for the purpose of reproduction.
Able to overthrow everything with his annihilating power, the Emperor was limiting himself merely to maintaining peace. But the nation did not wish to stop there, and was pushing its leader until it had him started. It was useless now to put on the brakes. "He who does not advance recedes"; that was the cry of PanGermanism to the Emperor. He must press on in order to conquer the entire world.
