After a dose of this unexhilarating reading one is attempted to exclaim `Oh! with the amiable Camille Desmoulins." It is terrible at times to think of the power that strong conviction combined with extreme narrowness of mind gives a man possessing prestige.
"So long as you cast no look of reproach upon me for my enjoyment of Sayn's most excellent cuisine, and my appreciation of its unequaled cellar, I shall not comment on your dinner of parched peas and your unexhilarating tankard of water.
This is not the language of a man who ever suffered seriously from sea-sickness, and Froude's face had an open-air look which never suggested "the unexhilarating atmosphere of a library." But he was of course a laborious student, and nothing refreshed him like a voyage.
Similarly, when the Englishman thinks of business, the image which he conjures up in his mind is of a dull commonplace like, on lines so long established and well-defined that they can embrace little of novelty or of enterprise; a sedentary life of narrow outlook from the unexhilarating atmosphere of a London office or shop.
"To a man of middle age whose occupations have long confined him to the unexhilarating atmosphere of a library, there is something unspeakably delightful in a sea voyage. Increasing years, if they bring little else that is agreeable with them, bring to some of us immunity from sea-sickness.
And presently, as I stood muffled in a fur coat, an elderly, grizzled, small man, grim and unexhilarating presently the soul of this monotonous person broke into song.
What! are you never to hear yourself praised! Then you must be no friend of mine; for those who will accept of my love and esteem, must submit to my open commendation." The nature of her commendation, in the present case, however, happened to be particularly ill-suited to the feelings of two thirds of her auditors, and was so very unexhilarating to Edward, that he very soon got up to go away.
But this was not business and as I walked home I turned my thoughts sternly to that scythe blade. H.M.S. Uruguay As I neared my bleak sanatorium I said to myself, "If only something would happen!" Week after week spent within those walls or in wandering over this limited space of muddy roads and sodden fields, with nothing to show for it, was an unexhilarating prospect.
From the German trenches a thin luminous thread stole up into the darkening sky, leaned over, drooped, and burst into dazzling brilliance over the British parapet. Simultaneously a desultory rifle fire crackled down the lines. The night's work had begun. We have been occupying trenches, off and on, for a matter of two months, and have settled down to an unexhilarating but salutary routine.
The only thing lacking was the curly smoke coming from the chimney. Broad streets lined with these houses were unexhilarating in effect, and would have been more depressing except for the bright colours with which they were painted. When the horses were replete after their midday meal we loaded up, adding to our numbers a taciturn man who sat on the box.
