And how solemnly they had taken it how earnestly they had believed in the game! What convictions had weighed upon them, what exaltations had thrilled them two pitiful little puppets, set here and there by unseen hands! Rehearsing from prologue to curtain the age-long drama, the drama of Sex that had been played from the beginning of the world!
But he errs on the better side; and his example is a salutary counteractive in an age when the dust of so many skirmishers obscures the air, and laughter is too readily accepted as the test of truth, his stern conception of literature accounts for his exaltations of the ideal, and denunciations of the actual, profession of letters in passages which, from his habit of emphasising opposite sides of truth, instead of striking a balance, appear almost side by side in contradiction.
Not to any of the exaltations not to the singing-god, or his unhappy mistress; not to any philosophy requiring for its enjoyment the calm of retirement, nor to any service for the comfort there is in religion, nor to love in its holier sense were they abiding their vows. Good reader, why shall not the truth be told here?
Hastings was afterwards appointed to correct, and which the Commons charge that he continued and aggravated: namely, the venal depositions and venal exaltations of the country powers; the taking of bribes and corrupt presents from all parties in those changes; the vitiating and maiming the Company's records; the suppression of public correspondence; corrupt combinations and conspiracies; perfidy in negotiation established into principle; acts of the most atrocious wickedness justified upon purity of intention; mock-trials and collusive acquittals among the parties in common guilt; and in the end, the Court of Directors supporting the scandalous breach of their own orders.
She had been more than human if she had not felt as he now saw that she must feel, and since reactions are to be measured by the mental exaltations from which they spring, so was it but natural that now she must hate him fiercely whom she had loved wellnigh as fiercely. It was a heavy cross to bear. Yet for Lionel's sake he must bear it with what fortitude he could.
Was it possible that he might be the agent of his father's redemption? The idea, the hope, produced in him occasional hidden exaltations flights of prayer mystical memories of his mother which lightened what was otherwise a time of bitter renunciation, and determined wrestling with himself. During the latter days of this fortnight, indeed, he could not do enough for his father.
Something must be allowed for the intoxication of a new tie and a new interest in life. But such exaltations can in their nature hardly last a month, and Mrs. Browning lived for fifteen years afterwards in infinitely better health than she had ever known before.
We say do not eliminate him lift him up make him what he naturally is and is in position to be the walking beam of Business! If the average middleman does not know how to be a real middleman we will make one who does. And all the other eliminations that we have watched people being scared into, one by one, we will turn into exaltations each in its own kind and place.
But they made daily life a sordid, unlovely thing, and they gave Kitty an excuse for saying that William was as violent as herself, and for seeking refuge in the exaltations of feeling or of fancy provided by Cliffe's companionship. Perhaps of all the persons in the drama, Lady Tranmore was the most to be pitied.
One is rotten and the other resplendent, that is all. By your reckoning all people who worship any god whatever would be demented. No. The affiliates of Satanism are mystics of a vile order, but they are mystics. Now, it is highly probable that their exaltations into the extra-terrestrial of Evil coincide with the rages of their frenzied senses, for lechery is the wet nurse of Demonism.
