The objection to conforming to usages that have become dead to you is, that it scatters your force。 It loses your time and blurs the impression of your character。 If you maintain a dead church, contribute to a dead Bible-society, vote with a great party either for the government or against it， spread your table like base housekeepers, - under all these screens I have difficulty to detect the precise man you are. And, of course, so much force is withdrawn from your proper life. But do your work, and I shall know you。 Do your work， and you shall reinforce yourself。 A man must consider what a blindmansbuff is this game of conformity。Author： A.

The young woman was tall， with a figure of perfect elegance on a large scale。 She had dark and abundant hair, so glossy that it threw off the sunshine with a gleam； and a face which， besides being beautiful from regularity of feature and richness of complexion， had the impressiveness belonging to a marked brow and deep black eyes. She was ladylike， too, after the manner of the feminine gentility of those days； characterised by a certain state and dignity， rather than by the delicate, evanescent， and indescribable grace which is now recognised as its indication. And never had Hester Prynne appeared more ladylike， in the antique interpretation of the term, than as she issued from the prison.Author： A. Nathaniel Hawthorne B. William Faulkner C.

Colonel Sartoris？ I reckon anybody named for Colonel Sartoris in this country cant help but tell the truth， can they?” The boy said nothing。 Enemy！ Enemy！ he thought; for a moment he could not even see, could not see that the justices face was kindly nor discern that his voice was troubled when he spoke to the man named Harris: Do you want me to question this boy？ But he could hear, and during those subsequent long seconds while there was absolutely no sound in the crowded little room save that of quiet and intent breathing it was as if he had swung outward at the end of a grape vine, over a ravine, and at the top of the swing had been caught in a prolonged instant of mesmerized gravity， weightless in time。Author: A.
