During this journey he, as it were, considered his life afresh and arrived at his old conclusion, restful in its hopelessness: that it was not for him to begin anything anew- but that he must live out his life, content to do no harm, and not disturbing himself or desiring anything.
War and Peace by Tolstoy, Leo View in context
The motion of a raft is the needful motion; it is gentle, and gliding, and smooth, and noiseless; it calms down all feverish activities, it soothes to sleep all nervous hurry and impatience; under its restful influence all the troubles and vexations and sorrows that harass the mind vanish away, and existence becomes a dream, a charm, a deep and tranquil ecstasy.
A Tramp Abroad by Twain, Mark View in context
It was a tranquil scene, and restful to the weary eye and the jaded spirit.
A Connecticut Yankee by Twain, Mark View in context
