Its basis then is the mysterious, the unknown, the intangible religion while the fermenting principle in it is the desire of knowledge. Its permanent substance is the uncomprehended or the divine; its changing form is the result of its intellectual labor.
And yet they were not uppermost in her thoughts as she now gazed on them; nor was it wholly for them that her eyes were filled with tears at once sweet, yet profoundly mournful holy, and yet intensely human. Women love to think themselves uncomprehended nor often without reason in that foible; for man, howsoever sagacious, rarely does entirely comprehend woman, howsoever simple.
Had it been set to music it would have survived uncomprehended, unsuspected and unchallenged. I have spoken of the possibility that God, too, may suffer from a finite intelligence, and so know the bitter sting of disappointment and defeat. Here I yielded something to politeness; the thing is not only possible, but obvious.
Even while I live with Georgiana in the closest of human relationships, she retains for me the uncomprehended brightness and freshness of a dream that does not end and has no waking. This but edges yet more sharply the eagerness of my desire to enfold her entire self into mine.
There's a joker wild, somewhere, and she's playing to win!" Limasito received the tidings of the amazing turn in the affairs of Gentleman Geoff's Billie with mingled emotions in which pride and respectful awe predominated, but to Kearn Thode it came as an uncomprehended disaster.
All who know what pathos there is in memories of days that are accomplished and faces that have vanished albeit only a trifling score of years gone by will have some appreciation of the pathos that dwells in these grave eyes that look so steadfastly back upon the things they knew before History was born before Tradition had being things that were, and forms that moved, in a vague era which even Poetry and Romance scarce know of and passed one by one away and left the stony dreamer solitary in the midst of a strange new age, and uncomprehended scenes.

But we must not forget that, though this prodigious system had its root in the affections and sympathies of human nature, it was also fenced round by a theory of metaphysic.
"I am alive," were the uncomprehended words which, upon recognizing the locality of the dissecting-room, he had endeavored, in his extremity, to utter. It were an easy matter to multiply such histories as these but I forbear for, indeed, we have no need of such to establish the fact that premature interments occur.
As we sat under the awning in opposite corners of the cockpit, he braiding hairs from dead men's chins, I forming runes upon a sheet of folio paper, he would nod across to me as one Tahuku to another, or, crossing the cockpit, study for a while my shapeless scrawl and encourage me with a heartfelt 'mitai! good! So might a deaf painter sympathise far off with a musician, as the slave and master of some uncomprehended and yet kindred art.
As often happens in the course of history, uncomprehended or only half-comprehended catchwords serve as a banner around which a great following collects. The parties did not come to blows, probably for the sole reason that we conservatives were by far the stronger.
