"Did the landlord say why I might need your assistance?" "He said your eyes were affected." "Yes, they broke down a month since. I am a student of Yale College, in the junior class. I suppose I tasked my eyes too severely. At any rate, they gave out, and I am forbidden to use them at all." "That must be a great loss to you," said Herbert, with sympathy. "It is.
But if, as I said before, the prophecy of my Chaldean friend, whom I cannot help admiring with all my heart, turns out to be correct, then my life is more valuable to me than ever with such wealth to balance it, and I thank you doubly for having saved it by a word in time." I withdrew my hand gently from his. "You think the worth of your life increased by wealth?" Tasked. "Naturally!
Yet, I recognized the justice of the punishment. Bravery had failed twice; it was time to be humble. "I am sorry, Dehra," I said. "Of course you are, sir, very sorry that I saw you. And so was I," she added. "Was?" I echoed. "It gave me un mauvais quart d'heure." "No longer than that?" tasked. "No; it lasted only until I had you to myself on the terrace, a little later." "And then?" I queried.
His range of thought, both in reminiscence and in speculation, is immensely wide; his power of concentration recalls that of Browning. I have thought sometimes, and thought long and hard. I have stood before, gone round a serious thing, Tasked my whole mind to touch and clasp it close, As I stretch forth my arm to touch this bar.
When employed upon a very large scale, their methods of composition shock the eye less than when applied to small subjects. We instinctively feel that even the ablest artist must sometimes have played fast and loose with the laws of perspective, if tasked to cover the enormous surfaces of Egyptian pylons. Hence the unities of the subject are never strictly observed in these enormous bas-reliefs.
An American sculptor and poet relates the incident, and gives its moral in the following poem: When to the utmost we have tasked our powers, And Nem'esis still frowns and shakes her head; When, wearied out and baffled, we confess Our utter weakness, and the tired hand drops, And Hope flees from us, and in blank despair We sink to earth, the face, so stern before, August will smile the hand before withdrawn Reach out the help we vainly pleaded for, Take up our task, and in a moment do What all our strength was powerless to achieve.
He has tasked himself without sparing; he has gained the affections of his subjects; he has conciliated a hostile Europe; is not this enough? Or was it also in the bond that he should tread a miserable father into the dust?
She knew that they must think she was silly, but having entered by Dan's connivance upon her folly, she was too proud to abandon it. At last, after she had ceased to expect it, came a letter from his mother, not a brief note, but a letter which the invalid had evidently tasked herself to make long and full, in recognition of Alice's kindness in writing to her so much.
Jackson's division, since the evacuation of Winchester at the end of February, that is, in six months, had taken part in no less than eight battles and innumerable minor engagements; it had marched nearly a thousand miles, and it had long ago discarded tents. The remainder of the army had been hardly less severely tasked.
But she was clear-sighted now, saw that the true fault after all was hers, and would waste no time in accusing others. Very soon she dismissed him from her mind. In all the blank hopelessness of her fall from hope she put aside self-pity, and tasked herself to face the worst. To Emilia and Nancy she had spoken lightly, as if scarcely alive to her dreadful position, still less alive to her sin.
