Pitt's India Bill, which he declared to be "nothing more than a bad plagiarism on Mr. "Still pilfers wretched plans and makes them worse, Like gipsies, lest the stolen brat be known, Defacing first, then claiming for their own."
What crimes are committed in thy name! What laying waste of true and tender hearts, what defacing of sweet bodies, fashioned and set up as temples of the spirit! This vampyrism extends through every department of the affectional nature.
"I promised you should see me as I am! I swore to grow young to-night for your sake! Now I keep my word! Look at me, Nina! look at me, my twice-wedded wife! Look at me! do you not know your HUSBAND?" And throwing my dark habiliments from me, I stood before her undisguised! As though some defacing disease had swept over her at my words and look, so her beauty suddenly vanished.
They have defaced Monte Igueldo already, and now they are defacing the Castillo. Tomorrow, they will manage somehow to spoil the sea, the sky, and the air. As for the spirit of the city, it is lamentable. There is no interest in science, art, literature, history, politics, or anything else.
Such are ever the marks that Dulness leaves behind, in its Gothic irruptions into the sanctuary of departed Genius defacing what it cannot understand, polluting what it has not the soul to reverence, and taking revenge for its own darkness, by the wanton profanation of all that is sacred in the eyes of others.
The ponderous stones of the pillars, the massive surfaces of the walls, resisted the most vigorous of their puny efforts, and forced them to remain contented with mutilating that which they could not destroy with tearing off roofs, defacing marbles, and demolishing capitals.
A printed warning is important to the effect that any cutting or defacing of library books or periodicals is a penal offense, and will be prosecuted according to law. The regulations for admission to library privileges are important. In this country the age limitation is more liberal than in Europe. The Boston Public Library, for example, is free to all persons over twelve years of age.
Wynn was glad to escape from the storm of h-less remonstrances by payment of the full demand, and so entered the coffee-room. It was dingy and shabby-genteel, like the exterior; a quarter of a century might have elapsed since the faded paper had been put up, or a stroke of painting executed, in that dispiriting apartment. Meanwhile, all the agencies of travel-stain had been defacing both.
Yngwin approved the advice; and Halfdan, utterly defacing the dignity of his royal presence with an unsightly and alien disguise, and coming by night on the wedding feast, alarmed those who met him; for they marvelled at the coming of a man of such superhuman stature. When Halfdan entered the palace, he looked round on all and asked, who was he that had taken the place next to the king?
The owner of such hideous sofas and chairs and of the many pictures effacing or rather defacing the paper on the walls, could not be a judge of Madonna faces. "You admire everything that is good and lovely," I suggested, for Mrs. Desberger had paused at the movement I made. "Yes, it is my nature to do so, ma'am. I love the beautiful," and she cast a half-apologetic, half-proud look about her.
