Kear, the American, who is accompanied by his wife, has made a large fortune in the petroleum springs in the United States. He is a man of about fifty, a most uninter- esting companion, being overwhelmed with a sense of his own wealth and importance, and consequently supremely indifferent to all around him.
On the former view, we are finite modes of infinite Being on the latter, we are children of the Father. It is because we have believed the love which God hath to us the love made manifest supremely in Jesus Christ that we echo so confidently the poet's "Thou wilt not leave us in the dust": the Christian doctrine of immortality flows quite naturally from the Christian doctrine of God.
The woman who stepped out of high society and won the love of this stern yet gentle old man must have been of a mental and spiritual quality to command our highest praise. The world loves Vittoria Colonna because she loved Michelangelo, and led him away from strife and rivalry and toil. The eyes and the mouth are the supremely significant features of the human face.
Beings acting outside of the thinker explain, not only his actual perceptions, past and future, but his possible perceptions and those of every one else. Accordingly they gratify our theoretic need in a supremely beautiful way.
Echochee, supremely content to have found Doloria, remained at her side. Four of the attacking party had escaped and might well have returned to their houses. We favored the theory, too, that Efaw Kotee had remained there, expecting his band to capture us; so, if the fugitives were with him, they could by now have prepared a formidable resistance.
It was, no doubt, a ridiculous thing to sit and cuddle a contrary war-baby when your best young man was making his farewell call, but there was nothing else to be done. Jims was supremely happy. He kicked his little pink-soled feet rapturously out under his white nighty and gave one of his rare laughs.
In my enthusiasm I already stand upon the boundary of the true world I have a glimpse of paradise; earth recedes from my gaze; I understand and expect death, because life has bid me a last farewell the exaltation that I feel belongs to the future of the blessed; it is a triumphant dying that final and supremely happy thought that tells me my soul is about to take its flight.
We follow it with admiration and sympathy, from its gay beginning, through all the pain, the passion, and the peace, to the heartache of its closing pages, that close, supremely sad, yet strangely beautiful. "She sang to him, and he slept; she spoke, and he did not awaken." It is the record of heavy struggle, of defeat that was triumph, and triumph that was Heaven.
His pale face with its heavy-lidded eyes stared, supremely contemptuous, into Brandon's suffused countenance. His composure was somehow disconcerting. "Suppose you get out," he suggested. "I can talk to you then in a language you will understand." "Curse you!" bawled Brandon. "Where's Fricker?" Caryl shrugged his shoulders. "You have seen him since I have. Are you going to get out?
The work was "Tristan and Isolde," perhaps the finest flower of Wagner's genius, and already eight years old. Von Bülow was a superb conductor and Ludwig an inspired Tristan. Wagner was supremely happy. Alas, such happiness did not last. Enemies sprang up all about him.
