Whose march is o'er the mountain-wave, Whose home is on the deep! When our honourable friend issued his preliminary address to the constituent body of Verbosity on the occasion of one particular glorious triumph, it was supposed by some of his enemies, that even he would be placed in a situation of difficulty by the following comparatively trifling conjunction of circumstances.
He was, fortunately, a complete master of the French and Italian languages, so that when the fury of his irritation would become too excessive for him to control, he would ease his spirits by castigating his tormentors with a consuming verbosity in those foreign tongues, which, had his companions understood a single word of that which he uttered, would have earned for him a beating that would have landed him within an inch of his life.
"But in a wof," said my friend, instantly adopting it, "my author insinuates that the fashion of payment tempts you to verbosity, while in an ad the conditions oblige you to the greatest possible succinctness. In one case you are paid by the word; in the other you pay by the word. That is where the adsmith stands upon higher moral ground than the wofsmith."
Edison hates nothing more than to be dubbed a genius or played up as a "wizard"; but this fate has dogged him until he has come at last to resign himself to it with a resentful indignation only to be appreciated when watching him read the latest full-page Sunday "spread" that develops a casual conversation into oracular verbosity, and gives to his shrewd surmise the cast of inspired prophecy.
Et les confitures, Si vous voulez me les donner Je suis très bien obligé, Tra la la la, tra la la, Tra la la la, tra la la." Only a word here and there could have been intelligible, but their effect upon the pleasant gentleman was instantaneous. He broke into a torrent of foreign exclamations and verbosity, showing his teeth and gesticulating with his hands.
Joyfully therefore he joined his friend Ivo Taillebois; when, "with his usual pompous verbosity," saith Peter of Blois, writing on this very matter, he asked him to join in destroying Hereward.
"Got anything to smoke?" he asked, in his most abrupt manner, as if the cut of his collar did not allow of verbosity. The old man shyly produced some cigars in a leather case, which had never been of great value, even in the far-off days of its youth. "I hardly like to offer them to you," he said slowly. "T they're not expensive, and I couldn't explain to the young woman what I wanted."
Pablo Valls overflowed with amusing incoherency, like a charlatan condemned for a long time to silence who suffers the torture of his repressed verbosity. He flung into Febrer's face his origin and his pride, which had impelled him to run away without telling his friends good-bye. "In the last analysis you are descended from a race of inquisitors."
If a man has a thought which is worth declaring, let him declare it with a free and noble utterance don't let him wrap it up in multifarious parcels of dreary verbosity! There's too much of that kind of thing going on nowadays in England, at least. There's a kind of imitation of art which isn't art at all, a morbid, bilious, bad imitation. You only get close to the real goddess in Italy.
My excuse for this verbosity is, that from the speech of Medosus whose words show that he supposed Pym and Peters would never be allowed to leave Hili-li we obtain, better than from all other sources of information which were opened to Peters, an insight of the geographical knowledge, and of many of the peculiarities, of a strange, isolated people a people which, beyond all doubt, I think, is descended from the pure imperial Roman stock; and also because it explains the means by which the exiles afterward obtained their liberty, and were thus enabled to assist their relatives and friends in the City of Hili-li, at a time when, though of brief duration, the islands of Hili-li were threatened with depopulation.
