Bartlett's men, while doubtless justifying their reputation for handling everything with care due to casualties with compound fractures, had stultified their own efforts by shoving the heavy goods right atop of the light ones, and lying things down on their sides that should have been stood upright, and committing other errors of judgment.
He seemed a little stultified by this turn of affairs; but though he was down the fall had not knocked any of the ambition out of him; he immediately went at it again. This time he conquered and stood right up to the bar of life, much to Janet's relief.
This theory ignored all questions of inherent probability, and did not attempt to explain why the Babylonian priests should have troubled themselves to make such an invention and afterwards have stultified themselves by carefully appending Assyrian translations to the majority of the Sumerian compositions which they copied out.
I admit that, after this sort, you have the stultified abstractions of the New School Presbyterian Church, while I have its common sense; you have its Delphic words, I have its actions; you have the traditions of the elders making void the word of God, I have the providence of God restraining the church from destroying itself and our social organization under folly, fanaticism, and infidelity.
Now, if this mother had had the end that of her children's happiness and welfare really in view, she would have questioned herself as to the best methods of obtaining that end, and would not have been content just to go on with the narrow ideas which had held sway in her own day, and which had perhaps then succeeded very well, because, as I said before, they were aided by the two forces now stultified namely, a tremendous discipline and a spirit of the age which brought no suggestion of a struggle for personal liberty to young minds.
In the well-known verses prefixed to the first folio Shakespeare, Jonson calls on "him of Cordova dead," in the same breath with Aeschylus and Euripides; and long after the Jacobean period the false tradition remained which, by putting these lifeless copies on the same footing as their great originals, perplexed and stultified literary criticism, much as the criticism of classical art was confused by an age which drew no distinction between late Graeco-Roman sculpture and the finest work of Praxiteles or Pheidias.
It might be a message of misery, some outcry from a wounded spirit, some expression of despair. Had there been one such had there been! Every one of my predecessors had left a message on that smooth-painted wall, but the red-tape official rogues the stultified images sans reason, sans all imagination had, after the departure of each one, carefully painted over all such legacies.
His tongue played round his victims, unequipped as they were with his vast experience of reality, vaguely discursive, on the surface as are most lawyers, at a loss for similes and tropes as are most men of business, or dull of wits as are most of the fine flowers of the public schools, stultified with the classics and scripture history.
I had to administer a system of education in which I did not wholly believe; I saw little by little that the rigid old system of education was a machine which, if it made a highly accomplished product out of the best material, wasted an enormous amount of boyish interest and liveliness, and stultified the feebler sort of mind.
Browdie was stultified for a moment Then, sustaining his assumed character, he said: "I hope it be nobody I know. I be fairly well acquainted in Eskaqua, though I hail from down in Lonesome Cove. Who be dead!" There was palpably a moment's hesitation before the spokesman replied: "Watt Wyatt; died day 'fore yestiddy."
