But it is not the startling discoveries of these doctors, not the sophomoric essays of new-fledged Hippocrati now struggling manfully with buck-ague, snake bite and new babies at Nassawadox, Jones' Switch and elsewhere that constitute the chief charm of Jay Jay's versatile journal. The feature of most interest to the lay reader is the political homilies of the editor himself.
We are also prepared to make a most advantageous offer for bringing them out in book-form." Martin recollected his blank-verse tragedy, and sent it instead. He read it over before mailing, and was particularly impressed by its sophomoric amateurishness and general worthlessness. But he sent it; and it was published, to the everlasting regret of the editor. The public was indignant and incredulous.
I thought you had passed the sophomoric stage, and it is a shameful waste of dialectic ammunition to throw your antithesis at me.
"We'll lose the case," calculated Stillwater; "we'll save our friends, and get rid of Craig, whom everybody will blame the damned, bumptious, sophomoric blow-hard!" What excuse did Stillwater make to himself for himself in this course of seeming treachery and assassination? For, being a man of the highest principles, he would not deliberately plan an assassination as an assassination.
How sophomoric and seventeen-year-oldish they sound! "Oh, friend! were I but a smile, how would I flit about her eyes! ... were I but joy, how gently would I throb in all her pulses! yea, might I be but a tear, I would weep with her, and then, if she smiled again, how gladly would I die on her eyelash, and gladly, gladly, be no more."
As long as the man who wasn't Rose's husband remained alive in him, he'd protest struggle clamor for his old freedom. And yet, as long as the million tiny cords that bound hum, Gulliver-like, went back to Rose, talk of breaking them was sophomoric foolishness. He'd better go home!
Now Daniel Webster passed safely through all the stages of the "Sophomoric" disease of the mind, as he passed safely through the measles, the chicken-pox, and other eruptive maladies incident to childhood and youth.
Jake was, and Kedzie felt awfully sorry for Jakie. So did Jakie. He was sophomoric enough to talk about his broken heart and she was sophomoric enough to suffer for him most enjoyably. A little sympathy is a dangerous thing. Married people run a great risk unless they keep theirs strictly mutual and for home consumption. Jakie said he believed in running away from his grief.
In the general view we must feel a wonderful contrast here with the sophomoric state of the contemporary art in other lands where the folk-song has lost its savor, where the natural soil is exhausted and elegant castles are built in the air of empty fantasy, or on the sands of a vain national pride.
He had on a soft Alpine hat of pearl gray, a modishly cut gray homespun suit, a tie in which glimmered an opal pin, wore tan gloves, and had slung over one shoulder by a narrow black strap a pair of field-glasses. The younger was a tall and angular young fellow, of an eager and sophomoric youth.
