It is as though it only cared to please the world-worn, the over-subtle, the corrupted, while it ignores all normal healthy life, virtuous habits, pure affections, steady labor, honesty, and duty. It is an affectation, and because it is an affectation the school is struck with sterility.
He did not find it in him quite to agree the Marquise dropping the statement into his ear at a moment when their hostess was making some inquiry of Mademoiselle Bourde that she was a nature absolutely marvellous; but he could easily see that to world-worn Parisians her quiet charities of speech and manner, with something quaint and rustic in their form, might be restorative and salutary.
With a weary, world-worn gesture he absently brushed this back into place from moment to moment. His thick eyeglasses were suspended by a narrow ribbon of black satin. His collar was low and his loosely tied cravat was flowing of line. "Out of condition," said Wilbur, expertly. "Looks pasty." "But very, very distinguished," supplemented Winona.
Willersley had dressed himself in a world-worn Norfolk suit of greenish grey tweeds that ended unfamiliarly at his rather impending, spectacled, intellectual visage. I didn't, I remember, like the contrast of him with the drilled Swiss and Germans about us. Convict coloured stockings and vast hobnail boots finished him below, and all his luggage was a borrowed rucksac that he had tied askew.
How could five years work such change? World-worn he was and a-weary, casuistic, cautious, successful in a sort as the logical result of the exercise of sound commercial principles and more than fair abilities, but caring less and less for success since its possession had only the inherent values of gain and was hallowed by no sweet and holy expectation of bestowal.
Placing this volume across her knees and resting her elbows upon it, with her forehead in her hands, the weary, bedraggled, world-worn Old Year heaved a heavy sigh and appeared to be taking no very pleasant retrospect of her past existence.
No one felt the charm of peaceful Eastern England more fully and deeply than did George Borrow. An East Anglian born, he was nurtured within the borders of Norfolk during many of the most impressionable years of his life, and when world-worn and weary, he sought rest from his wanderings, he came back to East Anglia to die.
Thus, in that green age I spoke of, one's sickly vision can but see the dusty, world-worn side of domesticity, the petty daily cares of living, the machinery, so to say, of 'house and home. But when one stands in another home, where these are necessarily unseen by us, stands with the young husband, the poetry-maker, how different it all seems.
Be nice to me in your thoughts. I have never before done such a thing as this: I never could again. It is not very dreadful is it? Will you think nicely of me?" He said gaily: "Now you speak as you look, not like a world-worn woman of thirty wearing the soft, fresh mask of nineteen." "You have not answered me," she said quietly. "Answered you, Calypso?"
Despair took full possession of him. All his strength left him, and one of the troopers had to give up his horse to the world-worn captive. It was with such feelings as these that the party reached the castle, and were led up-stairs into the presence of the King. The first glance which they gave around showed them that there had been a slight mistake somewhere.
