Now, in respect to municipal self-government, Hungary and all those different provinces which are now opposed to the Austrian empire, if indeed an empire which only rests upon the goodwill of a foreign master, can be said to exist, or even to vegetate, all those different provinces are absorbed by Austria.
To saunter is a science; it is the gastronomy of the eye. To take a walk is to vegetate; to saunter is to live. The young and pretty women, long contemplated with ardent eyes, would be much more admissible in claiming a salary than the cook who asks for twenty sous from the Limousin whose nose with inflated nostrils took in the perfumes of beauty.
Many of these towns were once the capitals of a little feudal State, a county or duchy conquered by the crown or divided among many heirs, if the male line failed. Disinherited from active life, these heads became arms; and arms deprived of nourishment, wither and barely vegetate. For the last thirty years, however, these pictures of ancient times are beginning to fade and disappear.
Brudenell himself took care that Ishmael had everything he was likely to want, and then he left him. When Ishmael had changed his dress he went below to the drawing room, where he found his father waiting. The late dinner was immediately served. Old Jovial, who on account of his age and infirmity had been left to vegetate on the estate, waited on the table.
But when I saw how your tastes seemed to lead you, I began to fear that there could be no career for you here. On such a property as Babington an eldest son may vegetate like his father before him, and may succeed to it in due time, before he has wasted everything, and may die as he had lived, useless, but having to the end all the enjoyments of a swine. 'You are severe upon my cousins, sir.
Godolphin and the young countess were several paces before the little party, and they now took their way towards the Siren's Cave. The path that leads to that singular spot is humid with an eternal spray; and it is so abrupt and slippery, that in order to preserve your footing, you must cling to the bushes that vegetate around the sides of the precipice.
When she has a story to write, she goes to Boston, hires a quiet room, and shuts herself up in it. In a month or so the book will be done, and its author comes out 'tired, hungry, and cross, and ready to go back to Concord and vegetate for a time." Miss Alcott, like Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, is an earnest advocate of woman's suffrage, and temperance.
When the countess asked naively, in a small and select circle of these friends, what difference there was between a lover and a husband, all those who wished evil to Felix took care to reply in a way to pique her curiosity, or fire her imagination, or touch her heart, or interest her mind. "Oh! my dear, we vegetate with a husband, but we live with a lover," said her sister-in-law, the marquise.
Were those invasions, in fishing-boats from Dunkirk, so terrible as they were artfully represented to be, the French would have had an opportunity of executing them, while our fleet, and such a considerable part of our army, were employed upon their coast. London, I am told, is now very empty, for I cannot say so from knowledge. I vegetate wholly here.
When the herd draws itself together in arms against the stranger it is a fall for those rare free spirits who love the whole world, but it raises the many who weakly vegetate in anarchistic egotism, and lifts them to that higher stage of organised selfishness. Camus woke up all at once, with the feeling that for the first time he was not alone in the world.
