When the grandeur and beauty of the world challenged him--as it challenges even the most self-absorbed people--he always answered with her name.

That was his reply to the question put by the mountains and the stars; to all the spiritual aspects of life.
In his feeling for his wife there was all the tenderness, all the pride, all the devotion of which he was capable.

There was everything but energy; the energy of youth which must register itself and cut its name before it passes.

This new feeling was so fresh, so unsatisfied and light of foot.

It ran and was not wearied, anticipated him everywhere.
It put a girdle round the earth while he was going from New York to Moorlock.
