A thoroughly personal characteristic too. There is virile clangor in the firmly struck octaves of the opening pages. No hesitating, morbid view of life, but rank, harsh assertiveness, not untinged with splenetic anger. The chorale of the trio is admirably devised and carried out. Its piety is a bit of liturgical make-believe.
Now do they learn to laugh at themselves: do I hear rightly? My virile food taketh effect, my strong and savoury sayings: and verily, I did not nourish them with flatulent vegetables! But with warrior-food, with conqueror-food: new desires did I awaken. New hopes are in their arms and legs, their hearts expand. They find new words, soon will their spirits breathe wantonness.
PHALLUS. A representation of the virile member, which was venerated as a religious symbol very universally, and without the slightest lasciviousness, by the ancients. It was one of the modifications of sun worship, and was a symbol of the fecundating power of that luminary. The masonic point within a circle is undoubtedly of phallic origin.
The thought renders them bearable, these live, virile humans, who only a few centuries ago would have been too handicapped by their refinement to compete successfully with contemporary humorists. But there are a good many of us, possessors of patience, self-control, and a sponge in a bottle, who rarely enjoy this royal prerogative. We shine our own shoes.
Any one who has seen two brothers grow up side by side the one sturdy, masculine, virile, and full of health; the other, puny, delicate, fragile, and threatened with disease knows how I feel whenever I pass between these two sentries at the gate.

His virile work had power to inspire, to transmit enthusiasm to others, and thus he was responsible for much of the improvement in decorative art, the re-establishment of that art upon an intellectual basis. Designs from his hands were full, splendid and self-assertive; harmony and proportion were there.
She realized with a feeling almost of fear, that here was no weakling no plastic irresolute whose will could be dominated by the will of a stronger; but a man, virile, indomitable; a man of iron will who, though he scorned to stoop to defend his position, was unashamed to vindicate it.
In spite of all the polish of civilization, man is simply bent on conquest. Woman is only one phase of the chase to him a chase in which every active virile man is occupied from his cradle to his grave. You are the conquerors. We are simply the conquered." Shattuck tried to make his voice light, as he said: "Not always unhappy ones, I fancy."
But the virile manhood of him; the indomitability; the quiet fearlessness, indicated by his steady, serene eyes; the rugged, sterling honesty that radiated from him, she saw and admired. But above all she saw the boy in him the generous impulses that lay behind his mask of grimness, the love of fun that she had seen him exhibit at Calamity. "You were born here?" she asked. "In Colfax, ma'am."
He is also less vigorous, less virile, and less insistent upon reform and the right of the people to rule. It is an interesting fact that most of the great friends of the people, most of those who are eager in demanding the rights of the proletariat, are men of medium or coarse texture. Mr. Taft is soft elastic in consistency of fiber, while Mr. Roosevelt is hard elastic.
