And yet to the philosophy that craves Perfection, to the spirit that desires the golden mean, and hankers for the serene and balanced seat in the centre of the see-saw, it seems a little pitiful, and constricted; a confession of defeat, a hedging and limitation of the soul.
I think she hankers more for just love than she does for Heaven. I don't know how she will get on in a place where there is neither marrying nor giving in marriage. It's bound to be hard on her if the Lord does not give her something more than a harp and a golden crown with which to fill the aching void she is sure to have somewhere under her breast feathers.
You honestly think he hankers after doin' it?" "He said he did." "An' you believed it, I s'pose, same's you credited the rest of his talk," jeered Mr. Eldridge. "Look out the winder, Willie Spence, an' tell me, if you was twenty instead of 'most seventy, if you'd be stayin' indoors a-carpenterin' these summer days when you could be outside?"
If, again, your mind hankers after an earlier and more romantic literature, Lamb's Specimens of English Dramatic Poets Contemporary with Shakspere has already, in an enchanting fashion, piloted you into a vast gulf of "the sea which is Shakspere." Again, in Hazlitt and Leigh Hunt you will discover essayists inferior only to Lamb himself, and critics perhaps not inferior.
I could live and die in your company, if I only followed feeling; but, if I follow reason, I shall quit you here. You will go back to Oswego, and become man and wife as soon as you arrive, for all that is determined with Master Cap, who hankers after the sea again, and who knows what is to happen, while I shall return to the wilderness and my Maker.
I'm older now, and wiser, I hope. If a woman won't marry a man 'for richer or poorer' especially poorer she oughtn't to marry him at all. There's my nephew who was out here ten years ago. Married without a dollar and got the best wife in the world. No, Keeler; I may be a fool; but I'm not the kind of fool to marry an old woman because she hankers after my money.
"Yes; that is the reason why Stephen quits us. He only remained here until Sybil could keep my house, and that happy day is at hand." "That is a great compensation for the loss of your friend," said Egremont. "And yet she talks of flitting," said Gerard, in a rather melancholy tone. "She hankers after the cloister.
I'm going to make Adolphe my adjutant-general. Then if you hanker for this battery as it hankers for you " "Mary, Queen of Scots!" rejoiced Hilary. "That'll suit us both to the bone! And if it suits you too " "Well it doesn't! You know I've never wanted Adolphe about me. But you've got me all snarled up, the whole kit of you.
"Then a man gets tired of working for another man, and hankers for the time when he can set up for himself, especially if there's a pretty girl waiting for him." A tremendous sigh. "And then there's the fun of the rising. Losh! a man must break loose now and then!" "For all of which good reasons you have become a conspirator?" "Ay, it doesn't pay to run away.
Countless brave women and good men had sacrificed all that for which the human heart hankers, that women should be raised to this estate, and what a coward and insolent ignoramus would I be to lightly consider what had been so dearly bought and hard fought!
