And he understood clearly that he must either love or hate Him; he could not remain indifferent. Meanwhile two opposing currents were as if driving him: he hesitated in thoughts, in feelings; he knew not how to choose, he bowed his head, however, to that God by him uncomprehended, and paid silent honor for this sole reason, that He was Lygia's God.
Some of the so-called lower animals take cognizance of vibrations that mean nothing to us. Insects hear notes far above our dull ears. Ants are susceptible to lights and colors unseen to our limited eyes. The emperor-moth calls its mate so says Fabre by means of olfactory vibrations totally uncomprehended by us.
Religious they both were; conscious, like all Scots, of the fragility and unreality of that scene in which we play our uncomprehended parts; like all Scots, realising daily and hourly the sense of another will than ours and a perpetual direction in the affairs of life. But the current of their endeavours flowed in a more obvious channel. Scott was in the same town nourishing similar dreams.
After a brief colloquy, in which the watch was again consulted, he retired, and a moment later the curtain went up. It seemed to Smith, watching closely, his curiosity aroused by this half-seen and wholly uncomprehended episode, that the actors in the last act were playing under the pressure of an odd excitement, a sort of suppressed anxiety and haste.
She knew that she alone of all human beings was gifted with the power to understand and fully sympathize with him. And so she grieved over the long wilderness of time during which he had been uncomprehended. She wanted, by some immense effort of tenderness, to recompense him for all that he had suffered.

Grant what may be possible, however uncomprehended, grant that in this accursed instrument of antique superstition there be some real powers chemical, magnetic, no matter what-by which the imagination can be aroused, inflamed, deluded, so that it shapes the things I have seen, speaks in the tones I have heard, grant this, shall I keep ever ready, at the caprice of will, a constant tempter to steal away my reason and fool my senses?
Yet her eyes were like stars, and in an uncomprehended way the woman felt the charm of her beauty. No, she would never part with her. "O Pani!" The child sprang up and executed a pas seul worthy of a larger audience. Her first impulse was to run to meet him.
He was a man of deep and ardent imagination, and uncomprehended by the simple villagers, who irreverently styled him the 'mad Roseton. He died, and left a singular will.
Of late he had almost been in difficulty as to the means of meeting the calls for the year, economy was a thing unknown and uncomprehended by his wife; and the giving up the house in London had been the only reduction he could accomplish.
He had never wished to cut himself off from his family, or to please himself at their expense. But something had come into his mind which is nearer than the nearest, something which, with a new and uncomprehended fire, hardens the heart on one side while melting it on the other, and brings tenderness undreamed of and cruelty impossible to be believed, from the same source.
