So deeply did it move me that, without a thought of the impropriety of the act, I unconsciously bared my head, as a devout Catholic or well-bred Protestant uncovers before an image of the Blessed Virgin. The maiden showed no displeasure; she merely turned her glorious dark eyes upon me with a look that made me catch my breath, and without other recognition of my act passed into the house.
Mr Zangwill it was who observed that "charity uncovers a multitude of shins"; perhaps one may add, clumsily, that charity suffereth long and applauds.
It does so, however, in the service of truth, and it would be unfortunate to deny to truth its right to justify itself. Any one determined to do so could in that case defend a theory that sexual maladies are acquired by catching a cold. The spiritual refuse that psychoanalysis uncovers is like the manure on which our cultivated fruits thrive.
In so far as a spiritual quality can be contained and expressed in any form of speech known among men and all the arts are forms of speech that which is most secret and sacred in a man is freely given to the world in his work. Work is sacred, therefore, not only because it is the fruit of self- denial, patience, and toil, but because it uncovers the soul of the worker.
Beau Brummel, lifting his hat with great flourish to nobility and standing hatless in the presence of illustrious nobodies, finds his counterpart in William Penn, who was born with his hat on and uncovers to no one. The height of Brummel's hat finds place in the width of Penn's. Quakerism is a protest against an idle, vain, voluptuous and selfish life.
Every heavy rain uncovers shallow graves in the fields, allowing a dead arm, part of a rotting trunk, to show. And now, after this lapse of time, it still seems incredible. Are they still there? Report has it that the Germans captured this town and held it for a time, only to lose it later. What happened to the little "sick and sorry" house during those fearful days?
Every Orthodox Russian, as he passes this chapel, uncovers and crosses himself, and whenever a religious service is performed in it there is always a considerable group of worshippers. Some of the richer inhabitants, however, are not content with thus performing their devotions in public before the Icon.
Like Montaigne's Essays, the book is one of entire good faith, and strangely uncovers a personality. As a tiny child Locker was thought by his parents to be very like Sir Joshua Reynolds' picture of Puck, an engraving of which was in the home at Greenwich Hospital, and certainly Locker carried to his grave more than a suspicion of what is called Puckishness.
The choir answers, Come, let us adore . The Pope and all others kneel, except the Cardinal celebrant, who advances nearer to the middle of the altar, and uncovers the right arm of the crucifix, and repeats the same words in a higher tone, and again in a still higher tone before the middle of the altar, where he uncovers the whole cross.
The view towards Minehead is charming. It is said that the sea at very low water uncovers the remains of a submerged forest. It is a picturesque place, noteworthy for its huge walnut trees. It is separated from the sea by a stretch of shingle. Bradford, a parish on the Tone, 4 m. S.W. of Taunton, with a church ded. to St Giles.
