Willard Thorp, in his new book, American Writing In The Twentieth Century, observes, quite validly it seems: `` Certain subjects are conspicuously absent or have been only lightly touched.

He seems, by some unconscious division of labor, to have given them that one function and no other, leaving communication to the rest of the face.

The primary quality of that view seems, now, to have been its quietness, but that cannot at the time have impressed us.

Every First Family seems to have one couple upon whom it relies for true friendship.

William Wimsatt and Cleanth Brooks, it seems to me, have a penetrating insight into the way in which this control is effected: `` For if we say poetry is to talk of beauty and love ( and yet not aim at exciting erotic emotion or even an emotion of Platonic esteem ) and if it is to talk of anger and murder ( and yet not aim at arousing anger and indignation ) -- then it may be that the poetic way of dealing with these emotions will not be any kind of intensification, compounding, or magnification, or any direct assault upon the affections at all.

Again the student of evolutionary biology will find a fascinating, if to our minds grotesque, anticipation of the theory of chance variations and the natural elimination of the unfit in Lucretius, who in turn seems to have borrowed the concept from the philosopher Empedocles.

The Liberal-Radical heritage which informs all of Trevelyan's interpretations of history here seems clearly to have distorted the issues and oversimplified the period.

From the outset, she must have realized that marriage with him was out of the question, and although she was displeased by the `` unwarrantable '' interference, it seems probable that she did agree with her mother's suggestion that the poet was `` perhaps '' a man `` most fitted to live & die solitary, & in the love only of the Highest Lover ''.

His whole objection, indeed, seems to rise out of a deep conviction that the poets do have great power to influence, but Plato seldom pays any attention to what might be called the poem itself.

Amadee may have owed this partly to his relationship with the king, but Othon, who at sixty seems still to have been a simple knight, merited his position solely by his own character and ability.

Since the great flood of these dystopias has appeared only in the last twelve years, it seems fairly reasonable to assume that the chief impetus was the 1949 publication of Nineteen Eighty-Four, an assumption which is supported by the frequent echoes of such details as Room 101, along with education by conditioning from Brave New World, a book to which science-fiction writers may well have returned with new interest after reading the more powerful Orwell dystopia.

Commerce Secretary Hodges seems to have been cast in the role of pacemaker for official Washington's economic forecasters.

Possibly responsible for this is the incoming trend toward multicolor schemes in rooms, which seems slated to replace the one-color look to which we have been accustomed.

He seems to have at least a few 30- and 50-megaton bombs on hand, since we cannot assume that he has exploded his entire stock.

It seems to me the time has come for the American press to start experimenting with ways of reporting the news that will do a better job of communicating and will be less subject to abuse by those who have learned how to manipulate the present stereotype to serve their own ends.

Of those who have an opinion, it seems that assessment by location is preferred.

But contest definition -- that dramatic muscular separation of every muscle group that seems as though it must have been carved by a sculptor's chisel -- is something quite different.

It seems reasonable that if general nuclear war is not to be one cataclysmic act of burning each other's citizens to cinders, we must have a manned strategic force of long-endurance aircraft capable of going into China or Russia to find and destroy their strategic forces which continued to threaten us.

Steinberg seems to have gone directly back to the score, discounting tradition, and has built his performance on the intention to reproduce as faithfully as possible exactly what Brahms set down on paper.

I have never seen Caper off his feet -- he seems to know nothing but ' trot ' and keeps trying a little harder if asked to do so.

The use of sound to ' echo locate ' underwater in the same way as bats use sound for aerial navigation seems to have been prompted by the Titanic disaster of 1912.

For example, one of the very first entries in Skeat is for the letter A, which begins: "...( 1 ) adown ; ( 2 ) afoot ; ( 3 ) along ; ( 4 ) arise ; ( 5 ) achieve ; ( 6 ) avert ; ( 7 ) amend ; ( 8 ) alas ; ( 9 ) abyss ..." Further in the entry, Skeat writes: " These prefixes are discussed at greater length under the headings Of, On, Along, Arise ... Alas, Aware, Avast ..." It seems likely that these strings of words prompted Joyce to finish the Wake with a sentence fragment that included the words: "... a way a lone a last a loved a long ..."

The change seems to have been prompted at least in part by problems facing mixed race converts in Brazil.

Although, in 2 Dec., 1826 shortly after Kay ’ s patent was awarded, Philippe Henri de Girard seems to have been prompted to write to the Editor of The Manchester Guardian complaining about this and pointing out he had been the inventor.

His interest in the guest star seems to have come accidentally whilst observing a comet in December 1230, which prompted him to search for evidence of past guest stars, among those SN 1054 ( as well as SN 1006 and SN 1181, the two other historic supernovas from the early second millennium ).

While a proof of Schanuel's conjecture with number theoretic tools seems a long way off, connections with model theory have prompted a surge of research on the conjecture.

The Yurovsky family was of Jewish origin but its relation to the Jewish faith seems ambiguous: the historian Helen Rappaport writes that the young Yurovsky studied the Talmud in his early youth, while the family seems to have later attempted to distance themselves from their Jewish roots ; this may have been prompted by the prejudice toward Jews frequently exhibited in Russia at the time.

This job security seems to have prompted Horne to indulge his sense of humor, because most of his Columbia serials are tongue-in-cheek.

Although the church had previously been criticized for its policy during the civil rights movement, the change seems to have been prompted by problems facing mixed race converts in Brazil.

The notion of East End opium dens seems to have originated with a description by Charles Dickens of a visit he made to an opium den in nearby Bluegate Fields, which inspired certain scenes in his last, unfinished, novel The Mystery of Edwin Drood ( 1870 ).

Davies projects his life experiences ( childhood in a small Ontario town, family connections with the social and financial elite ) into many of his works and it seems no surprise Davies thought of it as " autobiographical, but not as young men do it ; it will be rather as Dickens wrote David Copperfield, a fictional reworking of some things experienced and much re-arranged.

The Doctor and Rose team up with Charles Dickens ( Simon Callow ) to investigate Mr Sneed ( Alan David ), a man who runs a funeral parlor where it seems that corpses have come to life.

Elizabeth Gaskell would have preferred to call the novel Margaret Hale, the heroine's name, as she did in 1848 for the novel Mary Barton, but Dickens prevailed, saying in a letter dated July 26, 1854, that " North South ” seems better.

: Joshua 24: 15 " But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living.

found an infinite number of consistent extensions for every initial trajectory they analyzed — can be seen as problematic, since classically there seems to be no way to decide which extension the laws of physics will choose.

Liebermann's more subtle position seems to be vindicated by testimony from abbot Ælfric of Eynsham, the leading homilist of the late 10th century, who wrote: No man can make himself king, but the people has the choice to choose as king whom they please ; but after he is consecrated as king, he then has dominion over the people, and they cannot shake his yoke off their necks.

They add that a witch should always choose the association which seems the most correct to them.

Here are no colonies of Germans, as at Saint Petersburg ; no English factories, as at Lisbon: no multitudes of insolent Yankees lounging through the streets, as at the Havannah, with an air which seems to say, the land is our own whenever we choose to take it ; but a population which, however strange or wild, and composed of various elements, is Spanish, and will remain so as long as the city itself shall exist.

Heidegger, in Strauss ' view, sanitized and politicized Nietzsche, whereas Nietzsche believed " our own principles, including the belief in progress, will become as relative as all earlier principles had shown themselves to be " and " the only way out seems to be ... that one voluntarily choose life-giving delusion instead of deadly truth, that one fabricate a myth ".

Among these odes criticism can hardly choose ; in each of them the whole magic of poetry seems to be contained.

The Penrose / Lucas argument about the implications of Gödel's incompleteness theorem for computational theories of human intelligence has been widely criticized by mathematicians, computer scientists and philosophers, and the consensus among experts in these fields seems to be that the argument fails, though different authors may choose different aspects of the argument to attack.

Furthermore, Jardine impressed the chairman of selectors, Pelham Warner, who stated that he was very effective in selection meetings through his knowledge of cricket history and went into great detail to choose the correct players ; it seems that Warner was the driving force behing Jardine's appointment.

It still seems unlikely that Simpson would choose to abandon a flooded but floating ship to take to small open rafts in the Pacific Ocean.

Montreal is a particular case, because unlike the rest of Quebec, the French-speaking proportion of the population diminished however this does not mean that the francization programmes failed, as the level of English speakers diminished too ; it seems more likely that the decrease was caused by the fact that 93 % of new immigrants choose to settle in Montreal, with a corresponding rise in languages other than English and French.

Umar's expectation seems to have been that the group should choose one among themselves who would be acceptable to all.
