I drew a full breath and looked at her as if magnetised. I had the very oddest sensation. She seemed, in Shakespearean phrase, to rain influence upon me. As if she read the stirrings of my blood, she smiled and said: "After all, confess, isn't it good to be alive?" A thrill of physical well-being swept through me. I leaped to my feet. "You witch!" I cried. "What are you doing to me?"
If asked, Keith could not have told what was wrong. In fact, it is not at all certain that he would have admitted that anything was wrong. No rebellious stirrings had yet found tangible form within him. He had to learn long lists of foreign kings that had been dead for ages. He was even expected to know when each king ascended his throne and left it.
"I did not mean to be," said Laking penitently. "She is a most ingratiating little creature, like a lazy kitten; but I think it is unwise for him to take her to Japan. All kinds of latent orientalisms may develop." The spring was at hand, the season of impulse, when we obey most readily the sudden stirrings of our hearts.
"You've had a bad shake-up, and it'll do you no end of good to get away from things." When the doctor came the next day it turned out that he knew of the plan and approved it. "You ought to be quiet for a year. Just loaf and look at the landscape," he advised. Paxon felt the first faint stirrings of curiosity. "What's been the matter with me, anyway?" "Well, over-work, I suppose.
I felt within me the stirrings of what I could not help believing to be genius true genius. I longed to distinguish myself, to emerge from the crowd, from the background, to make myself remarked, to do something, to be somebody, to see my name a famous one. I was fortunate enough at this epoch to attract the notice of X , the poet. He believed in me, and encouraged me to believe in myself.
Who can trace its reintegration as morning after morning we awaken, the flux and confluence of its countless factors interweaving, rebuilding, the dim first stirrings of the soul, the growth and synthesis of the unconscious to the subconscious, the subconscious to dawning consciousness, until at last we recognise ourselves again.
It was new to Wilfrid to be in converse with such a strenuously practical mind; the element of ambition in him, of less noble ambition which had had its share in urging him to academic triumphs, was moved by sympathetic touches; he came to understand the enthusiasm which possessed the Liberal candidate, began to be concerned for his success, to feel the stirrings of party spirit.
But the two minds, one simple and practical, the other sensitive and speculative, did not move in the same atmosphere, and could not understand one another. Ambrose was in the condition of excitement and bewilderment produced by the first stirrings of the Reformation upon enthusiastic minds.
"You've had a bad shake-up, and it'll do you no end of good to get away from things." When the doctor came the next day it turned out that he knew of the plan and approved it. "You ought to be quiet for a year. Just loaf and look at the landscape," he advised. Faxon felt the first faint stirrings of curiosity. "What's been the matter with me, anyhow?" "Well, over-work, I suppose.
But he seems to have been a man who was inclined to conceive of reality as something which had value only in so far as it was known, and left very largely out of account the inchoate stirrings and aspirations which are found at a deeper level within the human soul than the knowing level.
