Suddenly there carolled forth the song of a human voice, a wild, irregular, half-savage melody, foreign, uncomprehended words, air and words not new to me. I recognized the voice and chant of Margrave. I started, and uttered an angry exclamation. "Hush!" whispered Lilian, and I felt her frame shiver within my encircling arm. "Hush! listen! Yes; I have heard that voice before last night "
This fact well established, it seemed to me evident that if a great number of historical events are often uncomprehended, it is because we seek to interpret them in the light of a logic which in reality has very little influence upon their genesis. All these researches, which are here summed up in a few lines, demanded long years for their accomplishment.
This soft creature would never understand. He addressed himself to Anne, who believed in the impeccable rights of man and could take uncomprehended ways for granted. "He's going to get up." Anne made a movement toward the door. "No," said Jeffrey. He was there before her, and, though he smiled at her, she knew she was not to pass. "I'll see to him. You two run off to bed."
Sometimes day and night there flash before my eyes my mind's eyes pictures of you and me in places unfamiliar, landscapes never before seen, activities uncomprehended and unknown, bright, alluring glimpses of some second being, some possible, maybe never-to-be-realized future, alas!

He believed that volcanic emanations are caused by a mighty and uncomprehended energy, something that achieves results ascribable neither to explosions nor heat, some eternal, inner source.... Radium, if you choose, only he didn't call it that. Radium itself, as known to our modern scientists, he regarded as the harmless plaything of people with time hanging heavy on their hands.
She smiled, this child, as she shook hands with the Mayor, and it had the appeal of one who had learned the value of smiling as though it answered many a question and took the place of words and the trials of the tongue. It was pitifully mechanical. As the Young Doctor saw, it was the smile of a captive in a strange uncomprehended world, more a dream than a reality. "Mrs.

She was afraid of that critical and analyzing power of mind which she had so long trained to attack all that came to her.
When he laid his grimly-humourous lips to the long tube of birch-bark, which is the "caller's" instrument of illusion, there would come from it a strange sound, great and grotesque, harsh yet appealing, rude yet subtle, and mysterious as if the uncomprehended wilderness had itself found voice.
