The same contradictions prevail in everything. One must either laugh or cry at such stupendous inconsistencies; and I prefer to laugh. Britain, who had been paying the profoundest and most melancholy attention to each speaker in his turn, seemed suddenly to decide in favour of the same preference, if a deep sepulchral sound that escaped him might be construed into a demonstration of risibility.
It spoils their sepulchral monuments, as the old heralds tore the armorial blazonry from plebeian tombs. His first fame and success, however, were owing to the Drama; and though his non-dramatic labors were greater and still more successful, he never altogether left the stage.
Finally he took La Mano del Defunto: at the back of a sepulchral chamber in a violated coffin, from which the lid had been removed, lay the body of a woman, shockingly disarranged, over the edge hung her right arm, the hand had been cut off and was being carried away by a city gent in tall hat, unbuttoned frock coat, jaunty tie, yellow boots and streaky trousers; he had a dark lantern with the help of which he had committed the sacrilege very horrible which attracted Micio, and only twenty-five centimes which attracted me.
In the monuments of Pope John XXIII., of Cardinal Brancacci, and of Bartolommeo Aragazzi, he subordinated his genius to the treatment of sepulchral and biographical subjects according to time-honoured Tuscan usage. They were severally placed in Florence, Naples, and Montepulciano.
The women wore a curious light robe of cotton fibre which was drawn over the entire body and gave to each figure the appearance of a huge caterpillar. From the high perch of a balcony a sepulchral voice cried: "The Dance of Death and the Worm!" The strange figures began to move slowly across the polished floor to the strains of a ghost-like waltz.

Pritchett whispered as he continued "the old gentleman might make it more, Mr. George." Mr. Pritchett had a somewhat melancholy way of speaking of everything. It was more in his tone than in his words. And this tone, which was all but sepulchral, was perhaps owing rather to a short neck and an asthmatic tendency than to any real sorrow or natural lowness of spirits. Those who saw Mr.
"Is Anna Belle your doll?" asked Eloise, for the moment sufficiently interested almost to lose her self-consciousness. "Yes," eagerly. "Would you like to see her?" Jewel gave a fleeting glance at Mrs. Forbes. "She always comes to the table with me at home," she added. "Sit still," murmured Mrs. Forbes in low, sepulchral warning. "Now then, Jewel," said Mr.

They were mostly women of the aristocratic type who evidently found in this cult a new fad to occupy their jaded craving for the sensational. In the dim light, there was something almost sepulchral about the gathering, and their complexions seemed as white as wax. Again the door opened and another woman entered.
With a ghostly presence wait they in a stern and dark remorse, As the marbles they are watching were sepulchral to thy corse; Nay, one draws his cloak about him, and the other standeth free With his patriot arms uplifted to the grasp of Liberty. Shall I speak to you, ye silent ones?
