This is he with whom I hoped to share the lot of reconciling the quarrel of races and of ages! In the eye of the world he may be great, and I the bandit captain of a despised race. On the page of history he may be magnified, and I derided. But I spurn him for a hero I reject him for a brother. My rival he may make himself. His soul is narrow, and his aims are low.
After this, I want you to look at the green spots, and think of the hundred and twenty millions of Mohammedans, who spurn the name of Jesus as a Saviour, and who have set up Mahomet as their prophet. I want you also to look at all the dark spots, where, with comparatively a few exceptions, the people are in pagan darkness, without any knowledge of God and the only Saviour of sinners Jesus Christ.
Perceiving that Carwin did not obey, he continued; "Dost thou wish me to complete the catalogue by thy death? Thy life is a worthless thing. Tempt me no more. I am but a man, and thy presence may awaken a fury which may spurn my controul. Begone!"
"Oh, my Karen quiet quiet " Madame von Marwitz was now sobbing. "You will send for me if you feel that you can see me; unless you send I do not obtrude myself on you. You will have an attendant of your own. All shall be as you wish." "And when I am free I may choose my own life?" "Free! free! the world before you! all that I have at your feet, to spurn or stoop to!" Tante moaned incoherently.
"Well," replied her son; "and you spurn the proposal." "No; she accepts it," rejoined Jonathan, triumphantly. "Come along, Mrs. Sheppard. I've a carriage within call shall convey you swiftly to town. Come! come!" "Hear me, mother," cried Jack, "and I will explain to you why the villain makes this strange and revolting proposal.
Johnnie was near the end of another stanza of his sad song: "Oh, I'm goin' home Bull-whackin' for to spurn; I ain't got a nickel, And I don't give a dern. 'T is when I meet a pretty girl, You bet I will or try, I'll make her my little wife Root hog " He broke off embarrassed. "Did I wake you-all, ma'am, with my fool singin'? I'm right sorry if I did." "You didn't."
Some are exalted, their feet spurn the earth, their heads are in the clouds; some pugnacious, walking about with a chip on the shoulder; others are stupidly happy, their faces wearing a sickly smile that becomes painful to look at; others again, like you, melancholy as a wailing tenor in the last act of 'Lucia. Like learning, a little draught of love is dangerous; drink largely and be sober.
Lord Chatham indeed was formed to champ the bit, and spurn indignant at every restraint.

The same fate came upon the two lights erected on Kilnsea Common by Justinian Angell, a London merchant, who received a patent from Charles II to 'continue, renew, and maintain' two lights at Spurn Point. In 1766 the famous John Smeaton was called upon to put up two lighthouses, one 90 feet and the other 50 feet high.
