In view of the increasing ferment of American political and economic thought, no apology is necessary for submitting our traditional ideas and practices to an examination from an untraditional point of view. I need scarcely add that the untraditional point of view will contain little or no original matter.
But directly someone found it important to give them a new and untraditional interpretation, it appeared that they were a mass of ambiguity, and might be twisted into meaning very nearly anything that anybody liked. Steady-going churchmen were appalled and outraged when they saw Newman, in Tract No. 90, performing this operation.
To go to field-labor in seven petticoats can be anything but convenient or agreeable, but it is the traditionally correct thing, and a German peasant girl would think herself as unfavorably conspicuous in an untraditional costume as an English servant-girl would now think herself in a “linsey-wolsey” apron or a thick muslin cap.
This war was the largest, yet no more than the recurrent, example of that unceasing wrestle: the outer, the unstable, the untraditional which is barbarism pressing blindly upon the inner, the traditional, the strong which is Ourselves: which is Christendom: which is Europe. Small wonder that the Cabinet at Westminster hesitated!
She held her tongue about the d'Urberville vault and the Knight of the Conqueror whose name she bore. The insight afforded into Clare's character suggested to her that it was largely owing to her supposed untraditional newness that she had won interest in his eyes. The season developed and matured.
He could rely upon his pen and his wits, though he could not trust to his wits with only his tongue to help them. The chief objection to this method of wooing was that, in his class, it was untraditional. And this had some weight with him, for he had been brought up rigidly in the practices and customs of an exclusive caste.
Out of the familiar, hollow tautophony of drumbeats there began to emerge a thread of actual melody an untraditional rise and fall of notes a tentative attack as it were, on the chromatic scale of the west. No he-goat's skin stretched on bamboo would do that. We pushed on, curious. We came out into the "place."
She watched his face, and assuming an apologetic attitude, said, "it is unusual and untraditional, I know, but I wanted something different, and mine is essentially a modern library. In this country there is so much to depress one, and one's surroundings, after all, count for much. That is my poetry recess. You seem to have found your way there by instinct." "I think it is charming," he remarked.
