But she was clear-sighted now, saw that the true fault after all was hers, and would waste no time in accusing others. Very soon she dismissed him from her mind. In all the blank hopelessness of her fall from hope she put aside self-pity, and tasked herself to face the worst. To Emilia and Nancy she had spoken lightly, as if scarcely alive to her dreadful position, still less alive to her sin.
Ezram made his decision entirely casually, and he would have been surprised out of his wits if any one had expressed wonder of it. He knew no self-pity or sentimentality, only the knowledge that he did not desire that his young buddy should be shot full of holes in the first moment of play. The only fear that had visited him was that Ben might catch on and not let him go.
So many have abandoned all hope of a life beyond the grave, that they cling to bodily existence with almost gluttonous passion, and are filled with self-pity at the thought of their own death and burial. To my mind, there is something unworthy, something childish, in all this. When a child has been rebuked or punished by its father or mother, it plays a trump card "You'll be sorry when I am dead!"
She took my silence for the sympathy it was, and smiled a heart-rending smile, so different from that little sad smile she used to have; really pathetic now, and with hardly a glimmer in it of the old self-pity. I rose, put my arms about her, and kissed her on the forehead; she laid her head on my shoulder, and wept.
It would have been a crime to have hurried or urged you beyond what lay in your heart to do or to have overborne you against some deep-lying, innate instinct." Lydia's voice was shaking in self-pity as she cried out, "Oh, if you knew what the others nobody else was afraid to hurry or urge me to " She stopped and looked away, her heart beating rapidly with a flood of recollections.
The feminine trick was pardoned to her because her unaccustomed betrayal of that form of enervation was desired. It was read as woman's act of self-pity over her perplexity: which is a melting act with the woman when there is no man to be dissolved by it.
Editha saw now where George's irony came from. "It was not to be read before unless until I told him so," she faltered. "Of course, he wouldn't read a letter of yours, under the circumstances, till he thought you wanted him to. Been sick?" the woman abruptly demanded. "Very sick," Editha said, with self-pity. "Daughter's life," her father interposed, "was almost despaired of, at one time." Mrs.
I guess that's knitting, Miss Hitty; you do knit beautiful. Is that worsted or cotton you're at now?" Praise allayed Miss Hitty's wounded self-pity. She grew amiable under its slow-dropping dews always, as 'Tenty knew. "Oh, this a'n't anything to boast of. I call this common knitting; it's a pair of socks I promised Miss Warner for her boy.
There is no curing a poet when once he takes to being mournful, for he hugs his own woe with positive pleasure, and all his musical pathos is simply self-pity. When Napoleon said, "You must not fear Death, my lads. Defy him, and you drive him into the enemy's ranks!" he uttered a truth which applies in the moral world as on the battle-field.
"No, it is impossible; I will hand over the money to Peter to give her monthly. And as for me, I have no longer a daughter." And again a curious feeling overpowered him: a mixture of self-pity at the recollection of his love for her, and of fury against her for causing him this anguish. DURING the last year Lisa had without doubt lived through more than in all the preceding twenty-five.
