awe-inspiring bland Fadaise flat flavorless flavourless inane insipid jejune jejuneness Jejunity lacklustre namby-pamby pallid peppery prosaic Savorless savourless stum | But dreams--of those who dream as I, Aspiringly, are damned, and die: Yet should I swear I mean alone, By notes so very shrilly blown, To break upon Time's monotone, While yet my vapid joy and grief Are tintless of the yellow leaf-- Why not an imp the graybeard hath, Will shake his shadow in my path-- And e'en the graybeard will o'erlook Connivingly my dreaming-book. It was a grey, white face, shrivelled and pinched, weak eyes without depth, a vapid smile in which there was no meaning. When the supercilious and vapid point out faults, they ever run into contradictions and folly; it is only under the lash of the discerning and the experienced, that we betray by our writhings the power of the blow we receive. |
