Examples

“Cautious, indeed,—with that giant of Pytchley fame running neck to neck by him; cautious,—with two-thirds of the course unrun, and all the yawners yet to come⟳; cautious,—with the blood of Forest King lashing to boiling heat, and the wondrous greyhound stride⟳ stretching out faster and faster beneath him, ready at a touch⟳ to break⟳ away and take⟳ the lead⟳: but he would be reckless enough by-and-by; reckless, as his nature was, under the indolent serenity of habit.”

“This leaning on 'reaction' in the naturalist account implies that, whenever we intellectualize a relatively pure experience⟳, we ought to do so for the sake of redescending to the purer or more concrete level again; and that if an intellect stays aloft among its abstract terms and generalized relations, and does not reinsert itself with its conclusions into some particular point⟳ of the immediate stream of life, it fails to finish⟳ out its function and leaves its normal race⟳ unrun.”
