The widest compass of human life
The wonderful pageant of consciousness
The words stabbed him
Their authenticity may be greatly questioned
Their indignation waxed fast and furious
Themes of perennial interest
There was a blank silence
There was no sense of diminution
They affected the tone of an impartial observer
They rent the air with shouts and acclamations
Thoughts which mock at human life
Through ever-widening circles of devastation
Through the distortions of prejudice
Thwarted by seeming insuperable obstacles
Time was dissolving the circle of his friends
Times of unexampled difficulty
Tinseled over with a gaudy embellishment of words
To a practised eye
To be sedulously avoided [sedulously = persevering]
To prosecute a scheme of personal ambition
To state the case is to prove it
Too preposterous for belief
Too puerile to notice
Too sanguine a forecast
[sanguine = cheerfully confident; optimistic]
Torn asunder by eternal strife
Totally detached from all factions
Touched with a sort of reverential gratitude
Transcend the bounds of human credulity
Transitory in its nature
Transparent and ridiculous self-importance
Treasured up with a timid and niggardly thrift
Treated the idea with lofty scorn
Tremendous exploits and thrilling escapades
True incentives to knowledge
