There was no cheering the cheering days came later no ebullient emotion, but the tightening of lip and jaw in their stern, set faces was a sufficient index of the tensity of feeling. Canadians were thinking things out, thinking keenly and swiftly, for in the atmosphere and actuality of war mental processes are carried on at high pressure.
Of all the beautiful things on earth, there is nothing of nobler beauty than a noble horse; and Rover, in his clean-limbed gloss and tensity, was a sight to thrill the crowds that were privileged to see him spurn the earth, and arch his graceful neck, and curvet a little for the subtle joy that comes of spending power when power is there in a very plethora.
They held Saltash's with a tensity of purpose that was greater than any display of physical force. It was as if the two were locked in silent combat. It lasted for many seconds, that mute and motionless duel, then very suddenly from a wholly unexpected quarter there came an interruption.
The flowers, the tensity that pervaded the shop, his mother's coming to the city were all because on May twentieth, fourteen years ago, he had been born. The day had not been forgotten as he had thought. On the contrary, more people had this time thought of him and taken pains to let him know it than he had ever supposed cared whether he was alive or not.
His face had changed completely; from the loose and vacant mask of the early evening it had taken on the utmost tensity of emotion. "You do not know," he said, "what it is to live too much and to be afraid." "Live too much?" I asked. "Yes, live too much, that is what I do and I am afraid."

Here, too, the walls were hung with portraits and landscapes, and as far down as the eye could follow; but after glancing over them for a moment with the recurring weariness of one who has seen too many pictures in the hard ways of European travel, her eyes lit and lingered on the figure of a young man who stood on the landing, his back to her, examining, with a certain tensity, a canvas on a level with his eyes.
A crimp had carried this chap on board, dumped him, got his ten dollars and left. The man was supposed to wake up at sea and shovel coal. But this one didn't. The second day out some one leaned over and touched him and yelled. The crimp had sold us a dead one." As Joe said this he stared down at the sleeper, a curious tensity in his eyes. "Joe, how did you ever stand this life?"
Up any one a man might turn and lose himself completely, for they in turn were cut and ribboned with other mouths, leaving spires and walls and faces a thousand-fold on every hand. Tharon, even in the tensity and preoccupation of the hour, drew in her breath and the pupils of her blue eyes spread. "Th' Cañon Country!" she said softly, "I always knew it would be like this too great to tell about!
But Law declined the well-meant offer, and with a dubious shake of the head Ricardo rode away, while Dave guided Bessie Belle into the grove. The mare seemed to know that something unusual was afoot. Perhaps some nervous tensity of her rider made itself felt, perhaps with equine sagacity she had understood from the first the nature of this scouting expedition.
In sheer self-defense she was obliged to move, to say something, to break the tensity of the strain. One step the single step by which she had dared to draw nearer him, stretching out yearning hands toward him one step sufficed to take her back to the world of conventionalities and commonplaces, where the heart's aching is taboo.
