As he looked at a great picture or statue, as the Venus of Milo, calm and deep, unfathomably beautiful as the sea from which she sprung; as he looked at the rushing Aurora of the Rospigliosi, or the Assumption of Titian, more bright and glorious than sunshine, or that divine Madonna and divine Infant, of Dresden, whose sweet faces must have shone upon Raphael out of heaven; his heart sang hymns, as it were, before these gracious altars; and, somewhat as he worshipped these masterpieces of his art, he admired the beauty of Ethel.
In the phantasmagoric pantomime of the city, we forget that there are so many real people in all the world, so diverse, so unfathomably human as those who meet us in the little post-office on the night of our return to Hillsboro. Like any other of those gifts of life which gratify insatiable cravings of humanity, living in a country village conveys a satisfaction which is incommunicable.
"It isn't an excuse," she said, gently, and gave him one final look, wholly desolate. "I haven't said I should never marry." "What?" Jim gasped. She inclined her head in a broken sort of acquiescence, very humble, unfathomably sorrowful. "I promise nothing," she said, faintly. "You needn't!" shouted Jim, radiant and exultant. "You needn't! By George! I know you're square; that's enough for me!
The tragic beauty of her, the certainty of some monstrous crime to youth and innocence, the presence of an agony and terror that unfathomably seemed not to be for herself these transfixed the court and the audience, and held them silenced, till she reached out blindly and then sank in a heap to the floor.
But what really counts, and what finally decides what men and what women shall be, what really gets their attention unfathomably, unconsciously, is the way they earn their money.
As the sky clears and grows blue and deep and unfathomably peaceful after a storm, as trees wind-riven straighten and nod graciously to the little cloud-boats that sail the blue above, and wave dainty finger-tips of branches in bon voyage, so did the Peaceful Hart ranch, when the dust had settled after the latest departure and the whistle of the train which bore the coroner and that other quiet passenger came faintly down over the rim-rock, settle with a sigh of relief into its old, easy habits of life.
Perhaps his reason had been suddenly unseated by the unnatural captivity he carried with him, but in that wood he felt something unfathomably German the fairy tale. He knew with half his mind that he was drawing near to the castle of an ogre he had forgotten that he was the ogre. He remembered asking his mother if bears lived in the old park at home.
Anything which tends, even under the fantastic form of the minutiae of Sherlock Holmes, to assert this romance of detail in civilization, to emphasize this unfathomably human character in flints and tiles, is a good thing.
She seemed to have lost her deference. Her breast rose and fell as though with secret anger; she drew her hands inwards from their rest on the arms of her chair until the tips of her fingers met, and her dark eyes looked unfathomably at James. The latter gloomily scrutinized the floor. "I tell you my opinion," he said, "it's a pity you haven't got a child to think about, and occupy you!"
Here and there in the doorways we saw women with fashionable Portuguese hoods on. This hood is of thick blue cloth, attached to a cloak of the same stuff, and is a marvel of ugliness. It stands up high and spreads far abroad, and is unfathomably deep.
