Lying indolently here, like a half-tamed sullen beast, distracts me. 'I don't know, said Newman; 'small things offer they would pay the rent, and more but you wouldn't like them; no, you could hardly be expected to undergo it no, no. 'What could I hardly be expected to undergo? asked Nicholas, raising his eyes.
This being charms me, diverts, distracts, teaches, enchants, consoles me; flings me into an ideal world, is agreeable and useful to me. What evil can I do him in return? Humiliate him. Disdain is a blow from afar. Let us strike the blow. He pleases me, therefore he is vile. He serves me, therefore I hate him. Where can I find a stone to throw at him? Priest, give me yours.
On the altar are crowded together images in the worst possible taste; and the innumerable crowns, branches, stars, moons, and other ornaments of metal or gilt paper have an air of an ironmongery that offends the religious sentiment and depresses the soul. Far from lifting itself up to religious contemplation, the soul sinks, and the idea of the ludicrous distracts it.
He knows the conditions of the will; he knows that, at the worst, I must have thirty thousand pounds, if I live a few months longer. I will go to him." ANIMUM nunc hoc celerem, nunc dividit illuc.* VIRGIL. * "Now this, now that, distracts the active mind." THE late Mr.

To whom is it given to read the soul of man?
Their attachment is only one of a thousand other passions and predilections, they are daily engaged in pleasures which blunt their feelings, and in business which distracts them. We we sit at home to weep, and to think how coldly our affections are repaid!" The time was now arrived at which Richard Middlemas had a right to demand the property vested in the hands of the Town-clerk and Doctor Gray.
And the exuberant sun of noon distracts, and the multitude of his beams is troublous, for what does sight avail if the things of the heart's desire are lost in immeasurable perplexities of light? For in the high day the quivering bright air is more opaque than the dim spaces of night, so tranquil and severe, or the glowing kingdoms of the morning.
