"Admit, at any rate, that this cerebral hermaphrodism, self-fecundation, is a distinguished vice at least being the privilege of the artist a vice reserved for the elect, inaccessible to the mob." "If you like exclusive obscenity " laughed Chantelouve. "But I must get back to the lives of the saints; the atmosphere is fresher and more benign. So excuse me, Durtal.
My accusers lied and very cunning they thought themselves when they closed their false accusation by pretending that I had sought for two sea-beasts known by gross names. That fellow Tannonius wished to indicate the nature of the obscenity, but failed, matchless pleader that he is, owing to his inability to speak.
Otherwise in these gray, frowsy streets spring, summer, autumn, winter were all the same to the grey, frowsy people. It is true that youth laughed pale, animal boys, and pale, flat-chested girls. But it laughed chiefly at inane obscenity.
To express a belief in democratic liberty would cause a silence to fall upon a group of them as though some obscenity beyond the limits allowed in an officers' mess-room had been uttered by a man without manners. Their attitude to French officers was, in the beginning of the war, calculated to put a little strain upon the Entente Cordiale. It was an attitude of polite but haughty condescension.

He had known nothing from his childhood up except an atmosphere of amusement, refinement, brilliancy, and idleness; he came where gnawing hunger, brutalized jest, ceaseless toil, coarse obscenity, agonized pain, and pandemonaic mirth alternately filled the measure of the days. A sharper contrast, a darker ordeal, rarely tried the steel of any man's endurance.
The inveterate idioms of wooers took on in Charity's ear a grotesque obscenity, a sacrilegious burlesque of words as holy to her as prayer or the sacred dialect of priests. When Zada murmured, "Kissings! kissings!" Charity screamed: "Stop it, you beasts! You beasts!" Then she clapped her hand over her lips, expecting to hear their panic at her outcry.
He suddenly broke into violent profanity. "Hot damn you! shut yo black mouf! Whut I keer whut-chu done! You weaned her away fum me. She won't speak to me! She won't look at me!" A sudden insanity of rage seized Tump. He poured on his victim every oath and obscenity he had raked out of the whole army. Strangely enough, the gunman's outbreak brought a kind of relief to Peter Siner.
