CELT AND SAXON, ENTIRE [GM#97][GM97V10.TXT]4491

A country of compromise goes to pieces at the first cannon-shot

A lady's company-smile

A superior position was offered her by her being silent

A whisper of cajolery in season is often the secret

A contented Irishman scarcely seems my countryman

Ah! we're in the enemy's country now

And it's one family where the dog is pulled by the collar

Arch-devourer Time

As secretive as they are sensitive

As if she had never heard him previously enunciate the formula

Be politic and give her elbow-room for her natural angles

Beautiful women may believe themselves beloved

Becoming air of appropriation that made it family history

Constitutionally discontented

Could peruse platitudes upon that theme with enthusiasm

Decency's a dirty petticoat in the Garden of Innocence

England's the foremost country of the globe

Enjoys his luxuries and is ashamed of his laziness

Fires in the grates went through the ceremony of warming nobody

Foamy top is offered and gulped as equivalent to an idea

Foist on you their idea of your idea at the moment

Grimaces at a government long-nosed to no purpose

Hard men have sometimes a warm affection for dogs

He judged of others by himself

He was not alive for his own pleasure

Hear victorious lawlessness appealing solemnly to God the law

Her aspect suggested the repose of a winter landscape

Here, where he both wished and wished not to be

Hug the hatred they packed up among their bundles

I never saw out of a doll-shop, and never saw there

I 'm the warming pan, as legitimately I should be

I detest enthusiasm

I baint done yet

Indirect communication with heaven

Ireland 's the sore place of England

Irishman there is a barrow trolling a load of grievances

Irishmen will never be quite sincere

Irony in him is only eulogy standing on its head

Lack of precise words admonished him of the virtue of silence

Loudness of the interrogation precluded thought of an answer

Love the children of Erin, when not fretted by them

Loves his poets, can almost understand what poetry means

Married at forty, and I had to take her shaped as she was

May lull themselves with their wakefulness

Men must fight: the law is only a quieter field for them

Mika! you did it in cold blood?

Never forget that old Ireland is weeping

No man can hear the words which prove him a prophet (quietly)

Not every chapter can be sunshine

Not likely to be far behind curates in besieging an heiress

Not the great creatures we assume ourselves to be

Not so much read a print as read the imprinting on themselves

Not to bother your wits, but leave the puzzle to the priest

Nursing of a military invalid awakens tenderer anxieties

Old houses are doomed to burnings

Our lawyers have us inside out, like our physicians

Paying compliments and spoiling a game!

Philip was a Spartan for keeping his feelings under

Secret of the art was his meaning what he said

Suggestion of possible danger might more dangerous than silence

Taste a wound from the lightest touch, and they nurse the venom

Tears of men sink plummet-deep

Tears of such a man have more of blood than of water in them

That fiery dragon, a beautiful woman with brains

The race is for domestic peace, my boy

They laugh, but they laugh extinguishingly

Time, whose trick is to turn corners of unanticipated sharpness

Twisted by a nature that would not allow of open eyes

We're all of us hit at last, and generally by our own weapon

We're smitten to-day in our hearts and our pockets

Welsh blood is queer blood

Where one won't and can't, poor t' other must

Winds of panic are violently engaged in occupying the vacuum

With a frozen fish of admirable principles for wife

With death; we'd rather not, because of a qualm

Withdrew into the entrenchments of contempt

Woman's precious word No at the sentinel's post, and alert

Would like to feel he was doing a bit of good

You'll tell her you couldn't sit down in her presence undressed
