I thus continued to use all the terms which I had hitherto used; but an uneasy feeling began to develop itself about me in the minds of the professors, because I did not rest in the "simplicity" of the gospel. To me this meant its unintelligibility. I remember, for example, discoursing about the death of Christ.
"That wad be hard lines, though," insisted the gardener, unwilling to yield the unintelligibility of the ways of providence. "But," said Cosmo, "they say doon there, it was a brither o' the laird, no the laird himsel','at the English lord killt." "Na, na; they're a' wrang there, whaever says that.
Further and more extraordinary, when she essayed to obtain a solution of the mystery from him, he repelled her with emphatic gestures and a few half-strangled words with whose unintelligibility the cheroot fumes may have had some connection, and hurried into the hotel, where he remained in seclusion the rest of the day. What in the name of all the wonders could it mean? On Mr.
I make a hurried and confused presentation, in which I manage to slur over into unintelligibility and utter doubtfulness the names of the two people made known to one another. "One more aborigine, you see!" says Mrs. Huntley, to my surprise after the experience I have had of her fine taste in monosyllables beginning the conversation. I look at her with a little wonder.
If he could see her, of course, she wouldn't think of him for one moment. At least, I suppose not." "I cannot understand," says the bewildered Earl. And then he begins repeating her ladyship's words "If he could ..." as though inviting a more intelligible repetition. This is exasperating a clear insinuation of unintelligibility. "Oh dear, how slow men are!"
He believes in the existence of the universe, judging the accessible proof thereof to be adequate, and he finds in this universe sufficient cause for the happening of all phenomena. He finds no intellectual satisfaction in placing a gigantic conundrum behind the universe, which only adds its own unintelligibility to the already sufficiently difficult problem of existence.
The mask of unintelligibility holds out the longest; this is only in Germany, however, where it was introduced by Fichte, perfected by Schelling, and attained its highest climax finally in Hegel, always with the happiest results.
But this assumption, if applied to the principles of thought, speech or action, would equally prove thought to be irrational, speech unintelligible, moral action absurd; and evolution would be the process by which this fundamental irrationality, unintelligibility and absurdity was worked out.
Few could reach Berber; among fellow-students he was gay, amiable, up to a certain point even frivolous; then, as each companion in turn complained, a curtain seemed to drop, a colorless wrap of unintelligibility enveloped him like a chameleon's changing skin; the youth, as if he lived another life on another plane, walked apart.
In close colloquy, flowing within narrower banks, I suppose he was more definite and apprehensible; Sterling in after-times did not complain of his unintelligibility, or imputed it only to the abtruse high nature of the topics handled. Let us hope so, let us try to believe so!
