What's that stultifying saying about chowder-headed people? "But look, Queequeg, ain't that a live eel in your bowl? Where's your harpoon?" Fishiest of all fishy places was the Try Pots, which well deserved its name; for the pots there were always boiling chowders.

I cared nothing for these scholarly explanations of beauty's genesis and laws of working, because I felt it. Hunger needs no analysis, does it? Nor does Love. Could anything be more stultifying? Give to the first craving a lump of bread, and to the second a tangible man or woman and let those who have the time analyse both cravings at their leisure.

The same problem may possibly face the reader on every page of this fssay: if, however, we realise Nietzsche's purpose, if we understand his struggle to be one against "Culture-Philistinism" in general, as a stemming, stultifying and therefore degenerate factor, and regard David Strauss as the author himself did, that is to say, simply as a glass, focusing the whole light of our understanding upon the main theme then the Strauss paper is seen to be one of such enormous power, and its aim appears to us so lofty, that, whatever our views may be concerning the nature of the person assailed, we are forced to conclude that, to Nietzsche at least, he was but the incarnation and concrete example of the evil and danger then threatening to overtake his country, which it was the object of this essay to expose.

"Neither of you nor Martha have any idea of how stultifying it can be to be forced into school under the supervision of teachers who cannot understand, and among classmates whose grasp of any subject is no stronger than a feeble grope in the mental dawn." "Maybe so. But that's no reason why we must run our life your way." "You're wrong, Mr. Fisher. Think a moment.

"Ef ther man-person thet used ter dwell in this hyar house, and his kinfolks, hed of shot thet fashion, I reckon mebby ther Rowletts wouldn't never hev run old Burrell Thornton outen these mountings." "Did they run him out?" Rowlett studied his companion much as he might have studied someone who calmly admits a stultifying ignorance.

The fault lies in the fact that most teachers at the start do not teach music, rather musical notation and the peculiarities of the instrument. Nothing could possibly be more stultifying to the musical instinct of the child.

For one or both cease to be, and to cease to be is to contradict all one's fundamental axioms or terms. And this is always going on in the mental world as much as in the material; everything is always changing and stultifying itself more or less completely.

In this parable the young shepherd is obviously the man of to-day; the snake that chokes him represents the stultifying and paralysing social values that threaten to shatter humanity, and the advice "Bite! Bite!" is but Nietzsche's exasperated cry to mankind to alter their values before it is too late.

We formed fours again and again, but someone was sure to make a mistake every time. Our Sergeant shouted abuse at us, but no one cared. We passed on to other movements. We "changed direction to the right" or to the left, we "formed squad," we advanced, we retired, we wheeled and turned and gyrated. The stultifying occupation dragged on as though it would never cease.

But it was absurd to expect it would not be. And in fact, a position secretly rebellious is equal to water on the brain for stultifying us. Before the controversy was over, a note in Nataly's handwriting called him home. She wrote: 'Make my excuses. C. D. will give Nesta and some lady dinner. A visitor here. Come alone, and without delay. Quite well, robust.
