Lest in speaking of borders, too much reference might be made to the history of tapestry in general, I have left out Simon Vouet and Henri Lerambert as inspired composers of the frame which enclosed their cartoons; but it is well to say briefly that these men at least had not followed false gods, and were not guilty of the flagrant offence to taste that put a smirch on Italian art.
Come near, my friend, and listen while I show to you this note, Which to the lovely lady in bitter grief I wrote; Repeat not what I read to thee, for 'twere a deadly shame, Since thou her face admirest, should slander smirch her name: "O Moorish maiden, who like time, forever on the wing, Dost smiles and tears, with changing charm, to every bosom bring, Thy love is but a masquerade, and thou with grudging hand Scatterest the crumbs of hope on all the crowds that round thee stand.
I strode on haphazard in a blind fury, but reaching the woods at last and safe from all observation, I cast myself down therein, and gradually my anger grew to a great bitterness. And next, bethinking me of my dear lady who of her infinite mercy had stooped to love such as I, it seemed that my shame must smirch her also, that rather than lifting me to her level I must needs drag her down to mine.
No one but Ann Markham even guessed the agony that he endured, and she had not the chance to give a kindly look, for at this time Toyner, unable to trust himself with himself, was afraid to look upon Ann lest he should smirch her life. Again Toyner set his feet sternly in the way of sobriety.
Hortensia Winthrop's fair name was to be cleansed of the smirch that had been cast upon it, and Justin was the only man in whose power it had lain to do it. More than that if more were needed it was Rotherby himself, by his aggressiveness, who had thrust Mr.
So while he waits for tea and muffins, he leaps upon his rocking-horse and prances off. As for the hobby-horse itself, I have not heard whether it was of the usual nursery type, or whether it was built in the likeness of the leather camels of a German steamship. I need hardly say that these confessions of my cowardice are for your ear alone. They must not get abroad to smirch me.
This possibility of rare beauty made her scars and burns more pitiful, for if a cheap chromo has a smirch across its face, we think it a matter of no moment, but we deplore the smallest scratch or blur on any work of real art. Lydia felt a little less bitter and hopeless about life when she sat in front of her own open fire, after her usual twilight walk.
If he had said otherwise she would have been bitterly disappointed, however much she might have tried to deceive herself. It was a pity, a thousand pities, the child could not have come to them without that smirch. But it had not touched her: there was no stain on her. Thinking upon Stella's mother she said to herself that no levity in the girl she had been had led to her downfall.
But... Perhaps I have been weak in that." "It was not so; it was not she...." "I say it was, and if I say so I am to be believed, Lionel. I'd smirch no woman's reputation without just cause. Be very sure of that." Lionel stared up at him. "O God!" he cried presently, "I know not what to believe. I am a shuttle-cock flung this way and that way." "Believe me," said Sir Oliver grimly.
Why do you smirch it all with these horrid remarks?" "I won't make any more, if you don't like them," said Georgina, unabashed "except just to say this, Cynthia for the first time I begin to believe in your chance. There was always something not cleared up about Philip, and it might have turned out to be something past mending. Now it is cleared up; and it's bad but it might have been worse.
