From the cruel havoc, calm, passionless wonder distilled, and new proportions rose as his past came before him to be measured anew: so tolerable looked the worst of inflictions, a passing wrong, forgivable, forgettable; so sorry looked the best endurance, a wretched contortion, defacing, deforming.
"The Unknown Sea"
Clemence Housman
This trust must come of no mere exchange of vow or deeply-sworn and eloquent promise; it must be knowledge one heart of the other, clear and absolute; and such knowledge in your short hour of revelation you must have learned so passionately that, like poetry learnt in childhood, it is henceforth no longer a forgettable, detachable part of your mind's furniture, but a well-spring of instinct for ever.
"The Romance of Zion Chapel [3d ed.]"
Richard Le Gallienne
The man's villainy of so few days ago appeared now, in the biassed light of circumstance, a pardonable, a forgettable offence.
"The Everlasting Whisper"
Jackson Gregory
