'She is to us in this London, what the run of water was to Theocritus in Sicily: the nearest to the visibly divine, he said, and was applauded. 'Good, and on you go. Top me a few superlatives on that, and I 'm your echo, my friend. Isn't the seeing and listening to her like sitting under the silvery canopy of a fountain in high Summer? 'All the comparisons are yours, Arthur said enviously.
The Roman Campagna is a prairie. Peoria is in a most lovely situation. In fact I am so delighted that I am as full of superlatives as the Italian language. I could, however, find fault enough, if you ask what I dislike." But no one did ask; it is not worth while where there is so much to admire. Yet the following is a good statement of the shadow side.
Hard-headed Scotch lawyers, the last men in the world to be carried into superlatives, declared that never till then did they understand what effect could be produced by human speech. But we confess that now we have these magic words to read quietly at home, we find it something of a task to get through them. A volume just published by Dr.
She could think upon him only in superlatives. He was fearless and he was unselfish; he was kind and generous and as honest-hearted as God's own clear sunshine. She knew now, suddenly and for the first time, because he had shown her, what the simple word man meant. How far apart he stood from such as Brodie, the beast! How high above such as Gratton!
"She's so small I can't take off my sweater without tipping her over." "Oh, what a whopper!" gasped Helen. "Never mind," grinned her twin. "Let Jennie run to the superlatives if she likes. Anyway, I would not dream of going so far as the Harbor in that dinky little Tocsin. I've got my eye on just the craft, and I can get her over here in an hour by telephoning to the port. It's the Stazy."
And if Sillery will not do, he is advised, he being for superlatives, to try the sparkling Sillery of the Radical vintage, selected grapes. This was but impudent nonsense. But the reiterated apostrophe to 'MY FRENCH MARQUEES' was considered by Cecilia to be a brutal offence. She was shocked that her party should have been guilty of it.
From head to foot, you are spotless white but your scowl is absolutely 'the blackest black that our eyes endure. And," she added, in an injured voice, "I'm sure I've been very nice to you." "I have not yet begun to scowl," he assured her, and proceeded to show what superlatives of saturnine expression he held in reserve.
His indifference to the rights and feelings of others is his greatest enemy. He is a stranger to discretion. He speaks first, and thinks afterwards. He may have regrets, but not resolutions. He is often tolerated, but seldom esteemed. The temperamental talker is one of the greatest of nerve-destroyers. He deals in superlatives. He views everything emotionally.
The faint discords are not heard in the wide chorus that hails him second to none and equaled by Washington alone. The eulogies of him form a special literature. Preachers, poets, soldiers, and statesmen employ the same phrases of unconditional love and reverence. Men speaking with the authority of fame use unqualified superlatives....
'You mean by turning her string of superlatives into a paragon of perfection, said Elizabeth; 'I certainly believe I was unjust, but I could not help it. Anne did not see that her cousin might not have helped it, but she thought she had said enough on the subject, and let it pass.
