"There would be a fine outcry if we treated the debtors the same as we do the rogues." "Mr. Hawes," said the other firmly, "an honest man very seldom finds his way into any part of a jail. Extravagant people and tradesmen who have abused the principle of credit, deserve punishment, and above all require discipline and compulsory self-communion to bring them to amend their ways."
It may startle us for a moment, it may hurt us with a sense of pain and loss, it may awe us with its mystery; but unless it rouses us to solemn thought upon the meaning of life, to self-communion and prayer, to higher and holier action, it availeth little.
She saw that she had disbursed a great deal of money more, perhaps, than she would have under any other circumstances but she frankly acknowledged that she did not mind that, if only she achieved the end toward which she was working. For Elsa, more than any one on Grande Mignon, was a person of ways and means. She was one of those women who seem to find nothing in self-communion.
"These things are riddles to me," observed Jocelyn, who had listened to what was passing with great uneasiness. "I would solicit an explanation?" "You shall have it, my son," Hugh Calveley replied. "But not now. My hour for solitary prayer and self-communion is come, and I must withdraw to my chamber. Go forth into the garden, Jocelyn and do thou attend him, Aveline.
"Just as I had him goin'!" she said bitterly, as if in self-communion, without shifting her gaze from the blank surface of the wall. Now, however, Burke was reminded once again of his official duties, and he turned quickly to the attentive Cassidy. "Have you got a picture of this young woman?" he asked brusquely.
There seems to be nothing for the poet to do, then, but to accept the hostility of the world philosophically. There are a few notable examples of the poet even welcoming the solitude that society forces upon him, because it affords additional opportunity for self-communion. Everyone is familiar with Wordsworth's insistence that uncompanionableness is essential to the poet.
All my life I had been a philosopher, and as I rode from Haddon, beneath all my gloominess there ran a current of amusement which brought to my lips an ill-formed, half-born laugh when I thought of the plight and condition in which I, by candid self-communion, found myself.
In the first, place, as Ennius says; "How can life be worth living, if devoid Of the calm trust reposed by friend in friend? What sweeter joy than in the kindred soul, Whose converse differs not from self-communion?" How could you have full enjoyment of prosperity, unless with one whose pleasure in it was equal to your own?
He was one of those simple men who take their fellows on trust, but who, if once that trust is shattered, can never recover it. Like most simple men, he was tenacious of ideas when he got them, and the belief that Claire was playing fast and loose was not lightly to be removed from his mind. He had found her out during his self-communion that night, and he could never believe her again.
I'll have a transfer sent to you tomorrow, so that you can return those vendor's shares to me, and in exchange for them I'll give you two thousand fully-paid ordinary shares. You can sell these at once, if you like, or you can hold them on over one more settlement, whichever you please." "This is very munificent," remarked Lord Chaldon, after an instant's self-communion.
