Side 221 - ... an irritating cautiousness in them; and when she acquiesced it was a self-approved effort of forbearance. The tenacity with which he strove to hide this inward drama made it the more vivid for him ; as we hear with the more keenness what we wish others not to hear. Instead of wondering at this result of misery in Mr Casaubon, I think it quite ordinary. Will not a tiny speck very close to our vision blot out the glory of the world, and leave only a margin by which we see the blot ? I know no speck...
Side 172 - Then you have done a braver thing Than all the Worthies did, And a braver thence will spring, Which is, to keep that hid.
Side 242 - Rosamond's infantine blondness and wondrous crown of hair-plaits, with her pale-blue dress of a fit and fashion so perfect that no dressmaker could look at it without emotion, a large embroidered collar which it was to be hoped all beholders would know the price of, her small hands duly set off with rings, and that [ 237 ] controlled self-consciousness of manner which is the expensive substitute for simplicity.
Side 190 - In watching effects, if only of an electric battery, it is often necessary to change our place and examine a particular mixture or group at some distance from the point where the movement we are interested in was set up.
Side 235 - ... with a light in his hand. If he did not come soon she thought that she would go down and even risk incurring another pang. She would never again expect anything else. But she did hear the library door open, and slowly the light advanced up the staircase without noise from the footsteps on the carpet. When her husband stood opposite to her, she saw that his face was more haggard. He started slightly on seeing her, and she looked up at him beseechingly, without speaking. "Dorothea!" he said, with...
Side 233 - In the jar of her whole being, Pity was overthrown. Was it her fault that she had believed in him — had believed in his worthiness ? — And what, exactly, was he ? — She was able enough to estimate him — she who waited on his glances with trembling, and shut her best soul in prison, paying it only hidden visits, that she might be petty enough to please him. In such a crisis as this, some women begin to hate.
Side 175 - ... and those poor Dagleys, in their tumble -down farmhouse, where they live in the back kitchen and leave the other rooms to the rats ! That is one reason why I did not like the pictures here, dear uncle — which you think me stupid about. I used to come from the village with all that dirt and coarse ugliness like a pain within me...
Side 127 - But like a steddy ship doth strongly part The raging waves, and keeps her course aright ; Ne aught for tempest doth from it depart, Ne aught for fairer weather's false delight.
Side 82 - I see Vincy, the Mayor of Middlemarch; they are probably his wife and son," said Sir James, looking interrogatively at Mr. Brooke, who nodded and said, — " Yes, a very decent family — a very good fellow is Vincy; a credit to the manufacturing interest. You have seen him at my house, you know." "Ah, yes: one of your secret committee," said Mrs. Cadwallader, provokingly. "A coursing fellow, though," said Sir James, with a fox-hunter's disgust.
Side 211 - As the stone which has been kicked by generations of clowns may come by curious little links of effect under the eyes of a scholar, through whose labours it may at last fix the date of invasions and unlock religions, so a bit of ink and paper which has long been an innocent wrapping or stop-gap may at last be laid open under the one pair of eyes which have knowledge enough to turn it into the opening of a catastrophe. To Uriel watching the progress of planetary history from the sun the one result...
