To get information uncolored by passage through the minds of others, he went down to Harrison's Landing on July 7, observed all that he could see, and talked matters over. Prior to this visit it is supposed that he had leaned towards McClellan's views, and had inclined to renew the advance. Nor is it clearly apparent that he learned anything during this trip which induced him to change his mind.
Bent up, wrinkled, yellow-eyed, with long upper-lip, projecting jaws, retreating chin, still meek features, long arms, large flat hands with uncolored palms and slightly webbed fingers, it was impossible not to see in this old creature a hint of the gradations by which life climbs up through the lower natures to the highest human developments.
Then it is that many young natures, having exhausted the spiritual soil round them of all it contains of the elements they demand, wither away, undeveloped and uncolored, unless they are transplanted. Pray for these dear young souls!
This having been done, we have moonshine whiskey, uncolored, limpid as water, and ready for immediate consumption. I fancy that some gentlemen will stare at the words here italicised; but I am stating facts. It is quite impracticable for a blockader to age his whiskey.
As usual, he related a perfectly plain, uncolored tale, making no excuse for himself.
He was beginning to realize that there were many things about which he was woefully ignorant practical things entirely outside academic curriculums. For twenty-two years he had eaten his meals regularly and lived a life uncolored by any event more significant than his recent graduation from 'Varsity with honors.
A decanter-like bottle of uncolored glass, filled with some uncolored beverage, stood at the venerable envoy's elbow. "Let me fill your glass," said the sage. "It's white wine, ain't it?" said Israel. "White wine of the very oldest brand; I drink your health in it, my honest friend." "Why, it's plain water," said Israel, now tasting it.
This cream and the two that follow are flecked with brown, for which reason it may be colored brown with caramel, although I prefer it uncolored, the specks being no more objectionable than the vanilla seeds one rejoices to see in ice-cream. Walnut or Hickory-nut Cream.
At first thought it may have appeared obvious to us that the idealistic poet, who claims that his art is a revelation of a transcendental entity, is soaring to celestial realms whither his mundane personality cannot follow. Leaving below him the dusty atmosphere of the actual world, why should he not attain to ideas in their purity, uncolored by his own individuality?
This theory does not indeed explain everything. It does not, for example, explain why the columns or the architrave should be uncolored. In short, the Greek system of polychromy presents itself to us as a largely arbitrary system. More interesting than the question of origin is the question of aesthetic effect. Was the Greek use of color in good taste?
