Cardross's right; and for a while that languid but friendly lady drawled amiable trivialities to him, propounding the tritest questions with an air of pleased profundity, replying to his observations with harmlessly complacent platitudes a good woman, every inch of her one who had never known an unkindly act or word in the circle of her own family one who had always been accustomed to honor, deference, and affection of whom nothing more had ever been demanded than the affections of a good wife and a good mother.
"God bless you, Tom; bless you in your career without, in your home within," said Kenelm, wringing his friend's hand at the door of the carriage that was to whirl to love and wealth and station the whilom bully of a village, along the iron groove of that contrivance which, though now the tritest of prosaic realities, seemed once too poetical for a poet's wildest visions.
Whatever Mrs. Emlyn might have said in reply was interrupted by the rush of the children towards her; they were tired of play, and eager for tea and the magic lantern. THE room is duly obscured and the white sheet attached to the wall; the children are seated, hushed, and awe-stricken. And Kenelm is placed next to Lily. The tritest things in our mortal experience are among the most mysterious.
"The quality desirable for men, but more essential to women in proportion as they are fairy-like, though the tritest thing possible, is good temper." Lily made a sudden bound from his side, and joined her aunt, walking through the wet grass. When they reached the garden-gate, Kenelm advanced and opened it. Lily passed him by haughtily; they gained the cottage-door.
In no other play perhaps is there such a flush of those gay, fresh, variegated flowers of speech colour and figure, not lightly attached to, but fused into, the very phrase itself which Shakespeare cannot help dispensing to his characters, as in this "play of the Deposing of King Richard the Second," an exquisite poet if he is nothing else, from first to last, in light and gloom alike, able to see all things poetically, to give a poetic turn to his conduct of them, and refreshing with his golden language the tritest aspects of that ironic contrast between the pretensions of a king and the actual necessities of his destiny.
"For these and all thy mercies, O Lord, make us thankful," said the victim of ill-luck, in the tritest words of a pious custom. But never, perhaps, at aldermanic feasts was the grace more sincerely said. And then he untied the bundle, which the dog, who had hitherto carried it by the way, had now carefully deposited at his side. "As I live," ejaculated Waife, "Mrs.
There was a time when Craford used to seem to me the tritest spot in Europe, and the thought of Italy was luminous of everything romantic, of everything to be desired. There was a time when nothing gave me such joy as to wake and remember, 'I am in Italy in Italy in Italy! in Rome or Florence or Venice, as the case might be. But the times have changed, have changed.
In those dreary attics, overshadowed by the smoke and reek of the humble suburb, the workday world in its harshest and tritest forms below and around them, he recognized that divine poem which comes out from all union between the mind and the heart. On one side the wall, the world of imagination; on the other, this world of grief and of love.
'Marriage in high life. Marquess of Montfort-Caroline Lyndsay. And the sun did not fall from heaven! Vulgarest of ends to the tritest of romances! In the gay world these things happen every day. Young ladies are privileged to give hopes to one man their hands to another. 'Is the sin so unpardonable? you ask, with ingenuous simplicity. Lady Montfort, that depends! Reflect!
He is in that ecstasy of mind which prompts those who were never orators before to rise in an experience-meeting and pour out a flood of feeling in the tritest language and the most conventional terms.
