Whose mind gropes for lofty ideals, to bring them to light, Must first, under rigid frugality, study his part; Nor yearn for the courts of proud princes who frown in their might: Nor scheme with the riff-raf, a client in order to dine, Nor can he with evil companions his wit drown in wine Nor sit, as a hireling, applauding an actor's grimace.
That was silly, just an emotional reaction; nevertheless, the impulse was real and caused him to yearn poignantly for human comfort. He thought of Ma Briskow, finally. She was human; she had a heart. And Dallas was a sort of homey place; anyhow, the bellboys at the Ajax knew and liked him. That was probably because he had tipped them handsomely, but what of that?
I went overland to London, and was back there in four days under four months from the time I started from New York. There are scores of people I meet them every day who are in a constant state of yearn to do a bit of travelling. They say they envy me. But it is not money they want, it is courage. It will interest some of them to know what it can be done for. I will put down what it usually costs.
I yearn but to be in her presence, and within the circle of her light and splendour to be there now, and forever, and for the whole of my life. More I do not know. How can I ever bring myself to leave her? On reaching the third storey of the hotel I experienced a shock. I was just passing the General's suite when something caused me to look round.
And in her eyes was yet that soft and radiant look, but nought said she until Beltane stood armed from head to heel, until she had girt the great sword about him; then she set her hands upon his shoulders: "Beltane," said she soft-voiced, "thou didst yearn for thy mother, so is she come to thee at last, dear son!" So saying, she drew him down into her embrace.
And that sound of my name was like the touch of a wand that recalled me to the body wherefrom I had been released as it were to mingle with the ocean of human existence, free from the pressure of individual bondage. I opened the letter; and the name came again as a cry that would have disturbed me in the bosom of heaven, and made me yearn to reach where that sorrow was 'Ezra, my son!"
Would God have made hearts to so yearn for one another if He had meant them to stay forever apart? If this girl should die, it would be he who had killed her, by his cruelty, no less surely than if with his own hand he had struck her down.
There he’ll go in for criticism of an elevating tendency. Who knows, he may be of use and make his own career, too. Ough! they are first-rate, these people, at making a career! Damn ethics, I am done for, Alexey, I am, you man of God! I love you more than any one. It makes my heart yearn to look at you. Who was Karl Bernard?” “Karl Bernard?” Alyosha was surprised again. “No, not Karl.
He yearned towards her, as he sat there in the semi-darkness seeking the ewig-weibliche in the sweetness of her face without a touch of passion as a Catholic might yearn towards his Madonna. Her slight and haughty farewell showed that he had tried her patience had behaved like an ungenerous cur. But he must and would propitiate her win her friendship for himself and Phoebe.
Yet there is a vast difference between the Ark of the Covenant with its relics, and Thy most pure Body with its ineffable virtues, between those sacrifices of the law, which were figures of things to come, and the true sacrifice of Thy Body, the completion of all the ancient sacrifices. Wherefore then do I not yearn more ardently after Thy adorable presence?
