Did you" addressing Smith "take care to concentrate strictly upon the one idea of view-point?" "Nothing else. I kept my attention fixed upon eyes and ears, only, just as the instructions read." "Same here," answered Billie, for herself and the geologist.
One can't study the masters too much I mean, from the amateur's view-point; in the case of an artist it depends on the receptivity of his temperament. Velasquez didn't like Raphael, and it was Boucher who warned Fragonard, when he went to Rome, not to take the Italian painters too seriously. Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but it sometimes stifles individuality.
Dad didn't say anything at the time, so I was not looking for the roast I was getting. It appeared, from his view-point, that I was about as useless, imbecile, and utterly no-account a son as a man ever had, and if there was anything good in me it was not visible except under a strong magnifying-glass.
It could just as well have been written from the view-point of the merchant captain or his officers aboard all on the job; or the chief engineer or his assistants all on the job, and who put in more than one hour guessing at what was going on above; or from the view-point of the quartermaster captain, or his clerks, or the oilers, or the firemen, or the water-tenders, or the cooks, or anybody else, high or low, in the ship's regular service.
Conditions had changed very rapidly in the recent past, altered until, from his view-point, it was impossible for him to make the move toward the old relation, to even intimate its desirability. With the patience of his race he waited. In the fulness of time he was rewarded. "How," of a sudden initiated a voice, withal an embarrassed voice, "will you do me a favour?" "What is it, Bess?"
Her heart warmed a little as she adopted this view-point of her surly host. Being warmed, and having much to say, words came of themselves. Surely it would do no harm to tell the story to this queer urchin, who might be able to throw some light on the nature of the invisible protector. "I started with a man for guide." She fixed a searching gaze on the boy. "His name was Dick Wilbur."
From the view-point of the underworld a pug occupies a more exalted position than a waiter; but oh, well, a job's a job, and at least I won't have to look at that greasy Feinheimer all day."
This condition may serve to separate us for a while, yet I believe the path will open, and that you will learn to perceive your duty from a broader view-point one that will permit you to find happiness in true love, unhaunted by any memory of the false." She arose slowly to her feet, the tears clinging to her lashes, both hands outstretched. "Oh, I thank you!
The better part of Copernicus was to direct man to a view-point whence he should see that the heavens were of like matter with the earth. All this done, the acorn was planted from which the oak of our civilization should spring.
The Boer does not know the meaning of compromise, and if he did, it would go against his grain to entertain it. His nature is stubborn; he cannot bring himself to look at a question from any other view-point than his own. He will argue a point for hours, and although he may be in the wrong, it is a moral impossibility to convince him that he is not in the right.
