Gone was the elaborate coquetry of yesterday; gone the quiet roguishness of yesteryear; gone was all the Judith that I knew, and in her place stood a hollow-eyed woman shaking at gates eternally barred. "I thought you would come this morning. I had that lingering faith in you." "Your face haunted me all night," I said. "I was bound to come." "So, this is the end of it all," she remarked, stonily.
Lower, and even Middle bars and restaurants were universally automated, and the waiter or waitress a thing of yesteryear. Max looked about the room in awe. "This is living," he announced. "I wonder what they'd say if I went to the desk and ordered a room." Joe Mauser wasn't as highly impressed as his batman.
But they got him, and two engineers with him. They put up a devil of a fight first. They got under a cliff and stood off a mob of half a thousand for a day and night. And then the Mexicans tossed dynamite down from above. Oh, well, all flesh is grass, and there is no grass of yesteryear. Terrence, your suggestion is a good one. Lead on."
As for the spring lamb which used to crop the spring grass, it is now out of the cold-storage where the spring chicken and the new-laid eggs of yesteryear come from.
Nay, by thy delicate mouth I approach and beseech thee, remember that thou wert younger yesteryear, and that we wax grey and wrinkled, or ever we can avert it; and none may recapture his youth again, for the shoulders of youth are winged, and we are all too slow to catch such flying pinions.
I have heard it maintained that Rossetti has translated the radiant beauty of this ballade into his Ballad of Dead Ladies. I cannot agree. Even his beautiful translation of the refrain, But where are the snows of yesteryear, seems to me to injure simplicity with an ornament, and to turn natural into artificial music.
He responded keenly to her impulse to do or be something in this world, whatever it might be, and he looked on the smart, egoistic vanity of so many with a kindly, tolerant, almost parental eye. Poor little organisms growing on the tree of life they would burn out and fade soon enough. He did not know the ballad of the roses of yesteryear, but if he had it would have appealed to him.
"I've been reading of Tiny Tim while you snoozed," he said apologetically. It seems only yesterday and it is only yesteryear since Walter Pater sat by my side in a Club garden, and listened eloquently to my after-lunch causerie, and now he is gone To where, beyond the Voices, there is Peace. You grasp that his eloquence was oracular, silent. He had an air.
Whatever Ashe's claims to be a suspect, it had not been his footprint Baxter had seen in the museum. "Here, you!" said the Efficient Baxter excitedly. "Sir?" "The shoes!" "I beg your pardon?" "I wish to see the servants' shoes. Where are they?" "I expect they have them on, sir." "Yesterday's shoes, man yesterday's shoes. Where are they?" "Where are the shoes of yesteryear?" murmured Ashe.
She nodded lightly to him and passed on, and he went downstairs, his head in a whirl. Where had the crude pretty child of yesteryear departed to impulsive, conceited, readily offended, easily touched, sensitive as to what all the world might think of her and her performances?
