A human scarecrow he abhors, and will follow such an one through six streets to express his disapprobation. Extremes of size? whether of tallness or shortness? offend him equally. Whitman was not kinder to "the average man."
The bundle resolved itself into a filthy little old man, and made off with extraordinary rapidity, while Benham remonstrated with the kickers. Benham's tallness, his very Gentile face, his good clothes, and an air of tense authority about him had its effect, and the kickers shuffled off with remarks that were partly apologies. But Benham's friend revolted. This was no business of theirs.
"Come, Colonel Bernheim," I said, "I am at your service. Shall we use the masks?" "For Your Highness's sake, yes," he answered. "I'm apt to be a trifle wild at times." There was nothing especially graceful about my senior Aide; and, besides being past the prime of life, he was of a rather bulky tallness, stolid and phlegmatic. I could readily imagine his style, and a very few passes confirmed it.
She could not have been much more than twenty, but her body was already rounded to the full flower of its youth. This body was neither tall nor slender nor particularly graceful. Yet it carried itself with an effect of tallness and slenderness and grace. In the same way she impressed him as being well dressed. Yet she only wore a little plain black gown cut rather low, with a broad lace collar.
Whereas, beyond his tallness, and wide-open, jocular eyes, eyes that seemed those of a not highly conscientious wild animal, there was nothing remarkable about young Lin except stage effect. The conductor had been annoyed to have such a passenger; but the cow-puncher troubled no one, and was extremely silent.
This last, a man of extreme tallness, and in appearance by far the youngest of the group for he looked not over thirty at most was scrutinising the signboard gravely, but his eyes had a gleam of merriment in them, which neutralised the set firmness of the mouth. All the party were in uniform, save for a couple of servants in livery, and all were well mounted.
A poet wrote an ode in her honour, and included among her beauties that of tallness; her slender height was illustrated from the poplar. She was in ecstasies, as though the verses were making her grow, and kept waving her hand.
Rose-Ellen and Julie shared twin doors and steps; and inside only a thin wall separated them. At the door Dick overtook Grandpa and Rose-Ellen. Dick was twelve. Sometimes Rose-Ellen considered him nothing but a nuisance, and sometimes she was proud of his tallness, his curly fair hair and bright blue eyes. He dashed in ahead when Grandpa turned the key, but Grandpa lingered.
He tried to impart to her some of the adoration he had for Katharine Howard her learning, her faith, her tallness, her wit, and the deserved empiry that she had over King Henry VIII; but she only answered: 'Why, kiss the wench all you will, but do not come to tell me how she smells! and to his new protests: 'Aye, you may well be right and she may well be Queen for I know you will sacrifice your ease for no wench that shall not help you somewhere forwards.
The centrality, ease and harmony of the poise are of more importance than the tallness. When one stands properly on one foot a spiral line from the top of the head to the foot is developed. The head inclines slightly toward the side that bears the weight, the torso slightly inclines in opposition and the active lower limb takes a slightly opposite inclination.
