We may read the beauty of his character in the soft strength of the brow, the meditative lines of mouth and chin, above all, the striking clearness, the self-collection, the feminine solicitude, that mingle freely and without eagerness or expectancy in his gaze, as though he were hearkening to some ever-flowing inward stream of divine melody.
London, during the years of her first success, had not been without its usual attractions to the new-comer, but she had always been alive to the essential incompleteness, the dispersion, the want of steadfast self-collection, in a life much passed in London society.
During the still hour of self-collection, the angry brow of offended justice will be fearfully deprecated, or the tie which draws man to the Deity will be recognized in the pure sentiment of reverential adoration, that swells the heart without exciting any tumultuous emotions.

A proud and collected soul, like Goethe's, loftily follows its own inner aims, without taking any heed of the perturbations that arise from want of self-collection in a world still spelling its rudiments.
"Can you spare me a half-hour?" Benton nodded. He would have preferred any other time. He needed opportunity for self-collection. Again Karyl spoke. "Benton, I might as well be brief. There are two of us. In this world there is room for only one. One of us is an interloper." The American felt the blood rush to his face; he felt it pound at the back of his eyeballs, at the base of his brain.
