For though honour's voice cannot provoke the silent dust, yet "flattery soothes the dull cold ear of AGE." But enough, and too much of myself, said the count: 'tell me, my dear lord, something of yourself. I do not think England seems to agree with you so well as Ireland; for, excuse me, in point of health, you don't look like the same man I saw some weeks ago.
He gives me also, as you will see, good news of the family of old Dagobert, our friend for in truth, my dear Eva, it soothes my grief to think, that this excellent man is with you, that he will have accompanied you in your exile for I know him a kernel of gold beneath the rude rind of a soldier! How he must love our child!"
This treatment requires work no doubt of that but the effects are well worth it. This will not do harm, but good, if it is only used so far as to try whether the stage for hot treatment has been reached. If the hot bathing is agreeable, and instead of causing pain, rather soothes and comforts, it may be strongly tried.
For the inflexible determination of this man was not embittered by harshness, and he could wield as well as any one the language that soothes and persuades. At length, on the 24th of August, with the earliest symptoms of spring weather, the ships, which had been carefully overhauled and repaired, proceeded on their way.
In the sick chamber she moves with step noiseless as falling snow-flakes, and speaks in a voice soft as an angel's whisper. Her touch is so gentle that it soothes the sufferer, and her sympathy is more precious than rubies. On this account she is man's first and last solace. Suffering never appeals to woman in vain.
It soothes him imperceptibly. He grows more conciliatory. He is more disposed to make concessions. And diplomacy is made up of reciprocal concessions. You who don't smoke have one advantage over me, you are more on the alert. But I have an advantage over you, you will be more likely than I shall be to lose your self control and give way to sudden impressions."
This sound is a low whistling through the teeth, which readily soothes cage birds. It interests and calms them, though I have no notion what it means to them, for I am speaking an unknown tongue. The baby on the tree was not quiet, climbing about the branches every moment that he was not engaged in dressing his feathers, the first and most important business of the newly emancipated nestling.
I should have supposed she had come from the sitting-room with me, but for a certain elaborate and enforced nonchalance in her demeanor, a jaunty air of insouciance, as far removed, on the one hand, from the calm equilibrium of dignity which almost imperceptibly soothes and reassures you, as from the guileless gayety of infantile ignorance, which perforce "medicines your weariness," on the other, a demeanor which at once disgusts and alarms you.
The air of your library soothes me; the sight of Mrs. Valeria is balm to my wounded heart. She has something to tell me something that I am dying to hear. If she is not too tired after her journey, and if you will let her tell it, I promise to have myself taken away when she has done. Dear Mr. Benjamin, you look like the refuge of the afflicted. I am afflicted.
Hegel winds up by considering the qualities necessary in an artist: imagination, genius, inspiration, originality, etc. A recent exponent of Hegel's aesthetical ideas further developed expresses himself thus on the nature of beauty: "After the bitterness of the world, the sweetness of art soothes and refreshes us.
