The hill, crowned with wood, from which they had descended, receiving increased abruptness from the distance, was a beautiful object. Every disposition of the ground was good; and she looked on the whole scene, the river, the trees scattered on its banks, and the winding of the valley, as far as she could trace it, with delight. As they passed on to other rooms, these objects were taking different positions; but from every window there was beauties to be seen. The rooms were lofty and handsome, and their furniture suitable to the fortune of their proprietor; but Elizabeth saw, with the admiration of his taste, that it was neither gaudy nor uselessly fine; with less of splendor, and more real elegance, than the furniture of Rosings.

A description to treasure. To savor.

Words were insufficient for the elevation of his feelings; and he was obliged to walk about the room, while Elizabeth tried to unite civility and truth in a few short sentences.

As read from Pride and Prejudice, chapter 38.

Jane Austin has an uncanny ability to describe situations and emotions so precisely.

How often are we in that mode? In meetings, at church, at parties, at the zoo, where we’re trying to unite civility and truth in a few words?
