Clear and delicate at once as he is in the outlining of visible
imagery, he is more finely scrupulous still in the noting of sounds; he conceives of noble sound as even moulding the human countenance to nobler types, and as something actually "profaned" by visible form or colour.
Professor Watson says: "I should throw out
imagery altogether and attempt to show that all natural thought goes on in terms of sensori-motor processes in the larynx." This view seems to me flatly to contradict experience.
His mirror of vision was silver-clear, a flashing, dazzling palimpsest of
imagery. Wonder and beauty walked with him, hand in hand, and all power was his.
I made him touch the mirrors and the iron tree and the branches and explained to him, by optical laws, all the luminous
imagery by which we were surrounded and of which we need not allow ourselves to be the victims, like ordinary, ignorant people.
Her youthful friends stood apart, shuddering at the mourners, the shrouded bridegroom, and herself; the whole scene expressed, by the strongest
imagery, the vain struggle of the gilded vanities of this world, when opposed to age, infirmity, sorrow, and death.
The genial disdain of Michel Rollin, who called them impostors, was answered by him with vituperation, of which crapule and canaille were the least violent items; he amused himself with abuse of their private lives, and with sardonic humour, with blasphemous and obscene detail, attacked the legitimacy of their births and the purity of their conjugal relations: he used an Oriental
imagery and an Oriental emphasis to accentuate his ribald scorn.
The cows swung placidly down the lane, and Anne followed them dreamily, repeating aloud the battle canto from MARMION--which had also been part of their English course the preceding winter and which Miss Stacy had made them learn off by heart--and exulting in its rushing lines and the clash of spears in its
imagery. When she came to the lines The stubborn spearsmen still made good Their dark impenetrable wood,
In sustained imaginative grandeur of conception, expression, and
imagery 'Paradise Lost' yields to no human work, and the majestic and varied movement of the blank verse, here first employed in a really great non-dramatic English poem, is as magnificent as anything else in literature.
Benjamin had evidently been anticipating the seizure of his money, for he had made frequent demands on the favorite cask at the “Bold Dragoon,” during the afternoon and evening, and was now in that state which by marine
imagery is called “half-seas-over.” It was no easy thing to destroy the balance of the old tar by the effects of liquor, for, as he expressed it himself, “he was too low-rigged not to carry sail in all weathers;” but he was precisely in that condition which is so expressively termed “muddy.” When he perceived who the visitors were, he retreated to the side of the room where his pallet lay, and, regardless of the presence of his young mistress, seated himself on it with an air of great sobriety, placing his back firmly against the wall.
As to what such sacrifice was now to be made to, here Newman stopped short before a blank wall over which there sometimes played a shadowy
imagery. He had a fancy of carrying out his life as he would have directed it if Madame de Cintre had been left to him--of making it a religion to do nothing that she would have disliked.
"Did you agree at all, Denham, with what I said about Shakespeare's later use of
imagery? I'm afraid I didn't altogether make my meaning plain."
"My," I thought, "what a wonderful targ--" I stopped even thinking, so surprised and shocked was I by the boldness of my
imagery. The girl was just below me.
