He struck Taine's legs a glancing blow, and the cobalt steel held his armor fast, but Taine careened and bounced against the round bronze wall of the Plumie, and bounced again. Then he screamed, because he went floating slowly out to emptiness, his arms and legs jerking spasmodically, while he shrieked ... The Plumie in the air lock stepped out. He trailed a cord behind him.

If it were no less the critic's task to distinguish between the genuine and the spurious, he must at any rate possess a technical standard by which to determine greater or lesser value, or he must be so specially and extraordinarily gifted that his instinct and tact estimate infallibly. Further, there was the question of genius, the point on which Taine's theory roused decisive opposition in me.
The music ceased. It was followed by the loud clapping of hands with exclamations in high-pitched voices. "Who is it?" "Where did you find him?" "What's his name?" for they judged, from Mrs. Taine's introductory words, that she expected them to show their appreciation. Mrs. Taine laughed, and, with her eyes mockingly upon the artist's face answered lightly, "Oh, she is a discovery of mine.
Who that has read Taine's graphic portraiture of the Elizabethan age can fail ever thereafter to see Shakespeare stand forth vividly? What can we make of Dante without some knowledge of Italy in the thirteenth century? What new life is given to Milton's Samson after we have seen the blind old poet of the fallen Protectorate in his dreary home!
It acted with extraordinary confidence. It was as if it dared the Niccola to open fire. Taine's voice came out of a speaker, harsh and angry: "Even-numbered tubes prepare to fire on command." Nothing happened. The two ships floated sunward together, neither approaching nor retreating. But with every second, the need for action of some sort increased. "Mr. Baird!" barked the skipper.
If you accept our offer you will start at once for that region, you will deliver us the manuscript in six months, and we will pay you for it six thousand francs; of which I have the pleasure of offering you half to-day." This, the first of Taine's books, duly appeared, and was a great commercial as well as literary success, so that the publisher had no cause to regret his generosity.
If not, a thousand thanks in advance. Take them with the others which I reiterate. II. TO GUSTAVE FLAUBERT Paris, 15 March, 1864 Dear Flaubert, I don't know whether you lent me or gave me M. Taine's beautiful book. In the uncertainty I am returning it to you.
There were weavings like the purposeful feints of boxers not yet come to battle. There were indescribably graceful swoops and loops and curving dashes like some preposterous dance in emptiness. Taine's voice crashed out of a speaker: "All even-number rockets," he barked. "Fire!" The skipper roared a countermand, but too late.
It is, of course, only the former theory, if either, which could possibly avail Sterne, and it would need an unpleasantly minute analysis of this characteristic in his writings to ascertain how far M. Taine's eloquent defence of Rabelais could be made applicable to his case.
