For years, truth to tell, she had ceased to love the man, and the little deviations, which read so trivially but mean in daily life so much, were almost unnoticed by her in the stupefying sense of the misfortune which had befallen them all.
But, as he headed for the old mine-house of Balmain and the cromlech, or Main-Stone, which stands close beside it and these are the only landmarks he did not even trouble to charge his gun. For the miracle was happening already. It began as perhaps most miracles do very slowly and gently, without his perceiving it; quite trivially, too, and even absurdly.
The moral of all which indeed, I fear, is, perhaps too trivially, but that the "thick," the false, the dissembling second half of the work before me, associated throughout with the effort to weight my dramatic values as heavily as might be, since they had to be so few, presents that effort as at the very last a quite convulsive, yet in its way highly agreeable, spasm.
Thus trivially preoccupied, they practically neglected Howe, who on his part stripped for action by sending the supply vessels to the Zaffarine Islands, where the vagarious instincts of their captains would be controlled by an anchor on the bottom. On the 14th the allies bore north from the British, close under the Spanish coast, and visible only from the mastheads.
It is doubtful if Breckon perfectly realized its coldness; he never knew how much he enraged her by acting as if she were a little girl, and saying lightly, almost trivially, "I'm so glad you're going to be a sister to me."
Hithertoo Greek carvers had been making images of the Gods, symbolic indeed with wings, thunderbolts and other appurtenances; but trivially symbolic; mere imitation of the symbolism, without the dignity or religious feeling, of the Egyptians and Babylonians; as if their gods and worship had been mere conventions, about which they had felt nothing deep; now, upon this urge from the God-world, a sense of the grandeur of the within comes on them; they seek a means of expressing it: throw off the old conventions; will carve the Gods as men; do so, their aspiration leading them on to perfect mastery: for a moment achieve Egyptian sublimity; but have personalized the Gods; and dear knows what that may lead to presently.
If anybody would only contrive some kind of a lever that one could thrust in among the works of this horrid automaton and check them, or alter their rate of going, what would the world give for the discovery? From half a dime to a dime, according to the style of the place and the quality of the liquor, said the young fellow whom they call John. You speak trivially, but not unwisely, I said.
The conversation opened trivially on the circumstances of Wilhelm meeting with Fraulein Ellrich, and on the beauty of the neighborhood, which Herr Ellrich glorified as not being overrun. "I would much rather recommend it for quiet than Switzerland with its crowds," he said.
General Westley had brought him up and presented him, and he remained chatting with Cornelia, apparently in the fatuity that if he talked trivially to her he would be the same as a young man. Ludlow stayed, too, and when the old gentleman got away, he said, the same as if there had been no interruption, "Why aren't you getting on?" "Because I'm not doing anything to it." "You ought to.
How are things up your way, Warren?" "Fine as silk." Ward's eyes swung briefly toward what he considered the chief bit of fineness. "That's good. Trail's a little narrow for three, isn't it? I'll ride ahead and open the gate." "They've got a new gate down here," said Billy Louise trivially. "I forgot that important bit of news."
