Robert and Arthur were chinking the walls by driving pieces of wood into every crevice between the logs: moss and clay for a further stuffing must be afterwards found. If the Yankee were quick at work, he fulfilled the other sequent of the adage likewise. His dinner was almost a sleight-of-hand performance.
She doubted the convenience and, as a natural sequent, the sanctity of the monogamous and separate home which she had regarded as the basis of all decent life. She considered her doubts vicious. She refused to remember how many of the women of the Jolly Seventeen nagged their husbands and were nagged by them. She energetically did not whine to Kennicott.
It is not the history of my life; the knowledge to write that is denied me. This is only a record of broken and apparently unrelated memories, some of them as distinct and sequent as brilliant beads upon a thread, others remote and strange, having the character of crimson dreams with interspaces blank and black witch-fires glowing still and red in a great desolation.
As soon as the colonies rallied from the first years of poverty and, above all, of comparative isolation, and a sequent tide of prosperity and wealth came rolling in, the settlers began to pick up in dress, to bedeck themselves, to send eagerly to the mother country for new petticoats and doublets that, when proudly donned, did not seem simple and grave enough for the critical eyes of the omnipotent New England magistrates and ministers.
Lewis, are merely notional, for "we call the antecedent cause, and the sequent effect; but these are merely relative conceptions; the sequence itself is antecedent to some subsequent change, and the former antecedent was once only a sequent to its cause, and so on."
The play is pointing everywhere with the Poet's scorn of 'Blind Men, 'who will not see because they do not feel, who wait for the blows of 'fortune, to teach them the lesson of Nature's laws who wait to be scourged, or dashed to pieces with 'the sequent effect, instead of making use of their faculty of reason to ascend to causes, and so 'to trammel up the consequence.
The beliefs which they accompany 'posit' the assumed reality, 'correspond' and 'agree' with it, and 'fit' it in perfectly definite and assignable ways, through the sequent trains of thought and action which form their verification, so merely to insist on using these words abstractly instead of concretely is no way of driving the pragmatist from the field, his more concrete account virtually includes his critic's.
But you cannot spend your time in more profitable study than by examining and comparing, touch for touch, the treatment of light and shadow in the figures of the Christ and sequent angels, in Plates VIII. and IX., as we have partly examined those of the subject before us; and in thus assuring yourself of the uselessness of trusting to any ordinary modern copyists, for anything more than the rudest chart or map and even that inaccurately surveyed of ancient design.
It was the age in which it was perceived that 'to say ay and no to everything' that a madman says, 'is no good divinity, and that it is 'the time's plague when Madmen lead the Blind; and that, instead of good men sitting still, like 'moral fools, and crying out on wrong and mischief, 'Alack, why does it so? it would be wiser, and more pious, too, to make use of the faculty of learning, with which the Creator has armed Man, 'against diseases of the world, to ascend to the cause, and punish that punish that, 'ere it has done its mischief. It was the age in which it was discovered that 'the sequent effect, with which nature finds itself scourged, is not in the least touched by any kind of reasoning 'thus and thus, except that kind which proceeds first by negatives, that kind which proceeds by a method so severe that it contrives to exclude everything but the 'the cause in nature' from its affirmation, which 'in practical philosophy becomes the rule' that is, the critical method, which is for men, as distinguished from the spontaneous affirmation, which is for gods.
The excess profits tax was levied as a sequent corrective to this necessary first step, so as to take the undue profits of the large producer back to the public.
