Well, well! this comes of mixing oneself up in other people's affairs. She could have come to no worse fate than this if I had left her to vegetate in Clearwater." There was no more rest for Miss Carr that afternoon.
And she lives in the present and future. We either drowse or vegetate in and for the past. She has the decisive advantage of possessing organization and organizers. Therein lies the secret of her sustained success. The Allies lack both, and are hardly conscious of the necessity of making good the deficiency. Therein lies their weakness.
"Don't you think so, my dear Mark?" "Indeed, Eva, I do not," I answered. "We are glad at length to be at rest; but we should very soon get tired of the companionship of savages, and I have a notion that man is not born to vegetate; he should be up and doing. It is a question every man should ask himself constantly: What have I done lately to benefit my fellow-creatures?
"Not in this one; in another which is much deeper, and inundated when the river is high." "Mustn't he vegetate there, in that cellar! To be there all alone and blind as he is, after the accident to him!" "He will see clear there, if he sees nowhere else: the cellar is as dark as a furnace."
Time always flies so fast in London. One lives there." "We only vegetate here, eh, Rosie?" said Tom in a tone of good-humoured banter. "Was Wordsworth a vegetable too?

The matter of the marriage was not settled, nor a plan of spending a summer abroad." "Will it suit him to vegetate in Surrey? Veronica will not leave home." "He has no ambition."
Excuse me, my dear friend, if I cannot stay at present to answer your questions about divorce. I must be punctual. What sort of a negotiator can he make who is too late at a minister's dinner? Five minutes might change the face of Europe. Yours truly, Paris. My incomparable Olivia! your letters are absolutely divine. I am maussade, I vegetate.
"Take then all the secondary bodies, all their combinations, all their movements, all the beings that vegetate, that live, that feel, that think, that function in all the globes, you will have but to increase the number of chances; multiply this number in all eternity, up to the number which our feebleness calls 'infinity, there will always be a unity in favour of the formation of the world, such as it is, by movement alone: therefore it is possible that in all eternity the movement of matter alone has produced the entire universe such as it exists.
On the borders and in the glades of the American forest, violets and other small plants begin to vegetate as soon as the snow has thawed the soil around their roots, and they are not unfrequently found in full flower under two or three feet of snow. American Naturalist, May, 1869, pp. 155, 156.
