They can't help it, no doubt; but we can't help getting sick of them, either. Intellect is to a woman's nature what her watch-spring skirt is to her dress; it ought to underlie her silks and embroideries, but not to show itself too staringly on the outside. -You don't know, perhaps, but I will tell you; the brain is the palest of all the internal organs, and the heart the reddest.
"It is natural for wolves to growl," he retorted. "Although you know few here, it is possible you are known. I think I can describe you." "I doubt it." "You are dark, with black hair and eyes." "Wonderful guessing." "Your lips are like the reddest rose, and your teeth are so many pearls." "Flattering, at least." "Of your sex you are the fairest ever beheld by the eyes of wolf."
When reddest, it has been described as "scarlet," "crimson," and "blood-colored"; when palest, it is a deep orange-red. Its light variation has a period the precise length of which is not yet known. The cycle of change is included between the eighth and ninth magnitudes. While our three-inch telescope suffices to show R, it is better to use the five-inch, because of the faintness of the star.
Very well," he said resolutely "that is settled then. Now as to the kind. I have only a botanical knowledge of flowers shall we say something in asters, perhaps, chrysanthemums or dahlias? What is your advice as to that?" "Well, I advise roses." "Roses good. I had forgotten them for the moment. White roses?" A little shiver ran through her. "No, no! Let them be the reddest you can find."
"Now, you wait a minute, and I'll give you something to remember me by. I don't mix this up for everybody." She busied herself with certain decanters and essences, and Courthorne held the glass she handed him high. "The brightest eyes and the reddest lips between Winnipeg and the Rockies!" he said. "This is nectar, but I would like to remember you by something sweeter still!"
Walter Pater has described phases of ferment, perhaps largely his own, in the character of Florian Deleal; his rapture of the red hawthorn blossoms, "absolutely the reddest of all things"; his times of "seemingly exclusive predominance of interest in beautiful physical things, a kind of tyranny of the senses"; and his later absorbing efforts to estimate the proportion of the sensuous and ideal, assigning most importance to sensible vehicles and occasions; associating all thoughts with touch and sight as a link between himself and things, till he became more and more "unable to care for or think of soul but as in an actual body"; comforted in the contemplation of death by the thought of flesh turning to violets and almost oppressed by the pressure of the sensible world, his longings for beauty intensifying his fear of death.
Her lips are the softest, reddest, most distracting things you ever saw. Her hair is as soft as silk, and of the rarest, tenderest brown. The captain moved uneasily. 'Don't take the trouble to say more, Willy, he observed. 'You know how I am. My cursed susceptibility to these matters has already wasted years of my life, and I don't want to make myself a fool about her too. 'You must see her.
After she had sat thus a while and noticed how the little fellow's cheeks began to glow like the reddest strawberries, then she feared no longer that he would catch cold, and she also felt sure that 'Lizebeth would not come and thought that the people in the parsonage would assume that he was going to spend the night at the cottage. So Marianne had peacefully locked her cottage and gone to sleep.
Red sorrel spires deep drinkers of reddest sun wine stand the boldest, and in their numbers threaten the buttercups. To these in the distance they give the gipsy-gold tint the reflection of fire on plates of the precious metal. It will show even on a ring by firelight; blood in the gold, they say.
The fact is that North Washington Square, at its reddest and whitest and fanlightedest, Gramercy Park at its most ivied, are not so aristocratic as the section of Brooklyn called the Heights. Here preached Henry Ward Beecher. Here, in mansions like mausoleums, on the ridge above docks where the good ships came sailing in from Sourabaya and Singapore, ruled the lords of a thousand sails.
