If he has heard this same driver of a jaunting-car rhapsodize about "Shandon Bells" and the author, Father Prout, his admiration for things and people Irish will become well-nigh a passion. He will not need to add to his mental picture, for the sake of emphasis or color, the cherry-cheeked maids who lead their mites of donkeys along leafy roads, the carts heaped high with cabbages.
Bowen does; as I hope to think God helping me, as I do think," I said, with a strange gladness coming into my heart as if the old, hard heart had been suddenly changed and made clean for the Master's entrance. "Poor little girl, I wish you had something more tangible than illusions to rhapsodize over." My eyes filled with such happy tears as I lifted them to him, standing at his side.
A beautiful woman choosing to rhapsodize has her way, and is not subjected to the critical commentary within us. He wondered whether she had discoursed in such a fashion to his uncle. 'I can read good poetry, said he. 'If you would have this valley or mountain-cleft, one should call it described, only verse could do it for you, Diana pursued, and stopped, glanced at his face, and smiled.
Many people who never say so for nothing is more rare than the courage to avow a feeling or an opinion find the frescoes of the Vatican and the Sistine frightful; but the great names of Michel Angelo and Raphael impose silence upon them; they murmur vague formulas of enthusiasm, and go off to rhapsodize this time with sincerity over some Magdalen of Guido, or some Madonna of Carlo Dolce.
You mentioned his having been at the Cape while you were there. Was he just as unsociable as ever? I can see him now lying flat on his back in the bottom of a boat reading poetry. I hate poetry, and when he used to quote his favorite passages I made parodies on them. Now you were always different. You'd rhapsodize with him to his heart's content. Just here I had a lovely surprise.
He did not even hear the opening piano solo by the "long-haired fellow," as Hock had called him, nor did he rhapsodize over handsome Miss Van Alstine, whose wonderful gown and thrilling voice captured the audience.
"Please, sir," she cried "Please, sir, wasn't you the gentleman that was taken queer at seeing our little Foundling? I was peeping through the red curtain, sir, just at the time." Instead of answering the question, Valentine instantly began to rhapsodize about the child's face. "Oh, sir! if you know anything about her," interposed the woman, "for God's sake don't scruple to tell it to me!
A vision for an artist to rhapsodize over; but for a God to paint! "Bre'kfust! First an' last call tew bre'kfust!" yelled Ham from the open door of the house, just as the sun burst over the tops of the mountains. "I feel as if I had just been to church," Thure said reverently, as the two boys started back to the house. "So do I," agreed Bud.
And no man has permitted himself greater freedom in stepping outside the story in order to explain his meaning, comment upon character and scene, rhapsodize upon Life, or directly harangue the reader. And this broad marginal reservation of space, however much it is deplored in viewing his work as novel-making, adds a peculiar tonic and is a characteristic we could ill spare.
All I could do was to rhapsodize in a way Barrie likes well enough when she can get nothing better, painting for her a rough word-picture of the palace in days when rich gilding still glittered on the quaint wall statues, when crystal jets spouted from the lovely fountain, green with moss now as with thick verdigris when knights in armour rode into the quadrangle to be welcomed by fair ladies, while varlets led tired horses to distant stables.
