Wit in itself is not to be condemned, although the Church shuns it as far as she is concerned, looking upon it as a worldly ornament; but it may become dangerous, it may be reckoned a veritable pest when it tends to weaken faith. Faith, which is to the soul, I hardly need tell you, what the bloom is to the peach, and if I may so express myself, what the dew is to the flower hum, hum!
All this makes clear that it is from adulteries that man has hell, until he is reformed by the Lord by means of truths and a life according to them. And no one can be reformed unless he shuns adulteries as infernal and loves marriages as heavenly. In this and in no other way is hereditary evil broken and rendered milder in the offspring.
Plots in fiction should be wedded to the understanding of the reader, and be constructed in such a way that, reconciling impossibilities, smoothing over difficulties, keeping the mind on the alert, they may surprise, interest, divert, and entertain, so that wonder and delight joined may keep pace one with the other; all which he will fail to effect who shuns verisimilitude and truth to nature, wherein lies the perfection of writing.
A married man should make a profound study of his wife's countenance. Such a study is easy, it is even involuntary and continuous. For him the pretty face of his wife must needs contain no mysteries, he knows how her feelings are depicted there and with what expression she shuns the fire of his glance.
"Because, my Elizabeth, the bold words glided off into a decent gloss, 'He durst not, said Warwick, 'because what a noble heart dares least is to belie the plighted word, and what the kind heart shuns most is to wrong the confiding friend." "It was fortunate," said the duchess, "that Edward took heat at the first words, nor stopped, it seems, for the rest!"
Great and noble masters formed those statues by the aid of the gods, and they they, small and ignoble as they are, have destroyed them by the aid of evil daemons. They have annihilated and drowned works that were worthy to live forever! And why? Shall I tell you? Because they shun the Beautiful as an owl shuns light. Aye, they do!
There came to me a little note on foreign paper, unaddressed, an enclosure forwarded by Janet, and containing merely one scrap from the playful XENIEN of Ottilia's favourite brotherly poets, of untranslatable flavour: Who shuns true friends flies fortune in the concrete: Would he see what he aims at? let him ask his heels. It filled me with a breath of old German peace.
Conrad was not, and could not be, mean and selfish. A selfish Conrad would be an absurdity. His motives are not gross "he shuns the grosser joys of sense, "His mind seems nourished by that abstinence." He is protected by a charm against undistinguishing lust "Though fairest captives daily met his eye, He shunn'd, nor sought, but coldly pass'd them by;"
Grantham, but, even if I did, I should be more borne out by circumstances than you imagine." "It is plain you would insinuate that my brother shuns the enemy, Captain Molineux You shall answer to me for this insult, sir." "As you please, Mr. Grantham, but on one condition only." "Name it, sir, name it," said the younger officer quickly.
Lord Ormersfield looked at him anxiously, and, hesitating, said, 'You do not think him out of spirits? 'Oh, he carries it off very well. I know no one with so strong a sense of duty, replied Jem, never compassionate to the father. Again the Earl paused, then said, 'He may probably speak more unreservedly to you than to me. 'He shuns the topic.
