On certain Dark Days of 1899-1900, if you had watched these turgid waters flow by, your eyes would have seen tinges of red like blood; and following the stain of red, gashed lifeless things, which had been torn from the ranks of sentient beings.
They had arrived at the upper edge of a bank overlooking a hill stream which was pouring noisily down in a flood made turgid by the rain, and the "rough bit of bog and boulder" was a sort of natural bridge across the torrent, formed by heaps of earth and rock, out of which masses of wet fern and plumy meadow-sweet sprang in tall tufts and garlands, which though beautiful to the eyes in day-time, were apt to entangle the feet in walking, especially when there was only the uncertain glimmer of the stars by which to grope one's way.
It was the beginning of the author's life-long war, only once relaxed, with Southey. Wordsworth though against this passage is written "unjust," a concession not much sooner made than withdrawn, is dubbed an idiot, who Both by precept and example shows, That prose is verse and verse is only prose; and Coleridge, a baby, To turgid ode and tumid stanza dear.
While the soul had lain fallow, while the body had been growing back to childlike health again, and Nature had been pouring into his sick senses her healing balm; while the medicaments of peace and sleep and quiet labour had been having their way with him, he had been reorganised, renewed, flushed of the turgid silt of dissipation.
Prothero filled the Sieges Allee with his complaints against nature and society, and distracted Benham in his contemplation of Polish agriculture from the windows of the train with turgid sexual liberalism.
My thoughts ran like a turgid stream as I stood tensely watching. Four hours ago I had sent that flash signal to Earth. If it was received, a patrol ship could come to our rescue and arrive here in another eight hours or perhaps even less. Ah, that "if!" If the signal was received! If the patrol ship were immediately available. If it started at once.... Eight hours at the very least.
Up past the brown Maricopas they worked, across the turgid Gila, skirting Lone Butte desert; up, up and on until in the distance glistened the bald peaks of Silver range. Never before did a horse play such a dangerous game, and surely none ever showed such finesse.
He passed them all by, had done so ever since last summer, though you might be sure that they, artful minxes, by no manner of means passed him by, without giving them a thought! As Daisy wasn't here, he would probably keep away to-day. There was comfort in that thought, too. And then Mrs. Bunting sat up, and memory returned in a dreadful turgid flood.
His manner, nevertheless, chilled Genet and came upon him like a cold bath after the warm atmosphere of popular plaudits and turgid addresses. He went away grumbling, and complained that he had seen medallions of the Capets on the walls of the President's room.
On examination after death the nature of the disease is sufficiently evident: the peritoneum, or portions of it, is highly injected with blood, the veins are turgid, the muscular membrane corrugated and hardened, while often the mucous membrane displays not a trace of disease. In violent cases, however, the whole of the intestines exhibit evidence of inflammation.
