They come to us with 'better opinion, better confirmation, not merely as the inspirations either of ourselves or of another, but deeply rooted in history and in the human mind. Cephalus rehearses a dialogue which is supposed to have been narrated in his presence by Antiphon, the half-brother of Adeimantus and Glaucon, to certain Clazomenians.
"But it is difficult," the objectors urge, "to give satisfaction to an audience by the mere recital of a speech"; that is a consideration which concerns the particular skill and pains of the person who rehearses, but by no means holds good against recitation in general.
My life to a moorfowl's feather, you are provided with a version; for I know you are in all the bard's councils, and acquainted with his songs long before he rehearses them in the hall. 'How can you say so, Fergus? You know how little these verses can possibly interest an English stranger, even if I could translate them as you pretend. 'Not less than they interest me, lady fair.
The best contemporary, and in fact the best general authority for this event is the "Short Narrative of the Horrid Massacre in Boston." This was published by the town for circulation in England, and is still extant in Doggett's reprint of 1849, and in Kidder's of 1870. In a report of a special committee the town rehearses both the events of the Massacre and the proceedings which followed it.
Then you, my young friend, ascend into the drawing-room, and, after a little graceful gossip, retire; or you wait, possibly, to hand Aurelia into her carriage, and to arrange a waltz for to-morrow evening. She smiles, you bow, and it is over. But it is not yet over with me. My fancy still follows her, and, like a prophetic dream, rehearses her destiny.
While this is presented to the Collector, the candidate stands under a tree at some distance and rehearses, with palpitating heart, the salaam he will make if admitted to the august presence. Life and death seem to hang on the impression which may be produced by that salaam. But the cousin's wife's uncle's brother-in-law sets other machinery in motion.
The long laugh generally means that the house by its unalterable majority has laughed at one joke three times. The stage waits upon the audience, and the audience rehearses its collective and inevitable laugh. It performs. It communicates itself, and art is a communication.
Froude's object: the annals of Liberia being a persistent refutation of the old pro-slavery prophecies which our author so feelingly rehearses. Let us revert, however, to Grenada and the newly-published "Bow of Ulysses," which had come into my hands in April, 1888.
He turned away, one hand to his head, rolling his eyes as if in mute appeal to heaven, then, whirling about, shook his play-book at the unfortunate Marion, crying out furiously: "Ah, it lacked but that. You ought to understand at last, that when one rehearses for a play one does not have the nose-bleed. It is not decent."
Vizard rehearses her pupils in the swell a figure too little practiced in music, and nowhere carried out as she does it. One night the organist of Barford was there. They sung Kent's service in F, and Mrs. Vizard still admired it. She and the parson swelled in the duet, "To be a Light to lighten the Gentiles," etc.
