The pulse of reason. [ Coleridge ]

Her pulse beats matrimony. [ Proverb ]

Desires are the pulse of the soul. [ Manton ]

To rock and river, plain and wood,
I cry, Ye are my kin. While I, O Earth!
Am but an atom of thee, and a breath,
Passing unseen and unrecorded, like
The tiny throb here in my temple's pulse. [ Philip J. Bailey ]

Night, sable goddess! from her ebon throne,
In rayless majesty, now stretches forth
Her leaden sceptre over a slumbering world.
Silence, how dead! and darkness, how profound!
Nor eye, nor listening ear, an object finds;
Creation sleeps. 'Tis as the general pulse
Of life stood still, and nature made a pause;
An awful pause! prophetic of her end. [ Young ]

Happiness never lays its fingers on its pulse. [ A. Smith ]

My pulse, as yours, doth temperately keep time,
And makes as healthful music. [ William Shakespeare, Hamlet ]

Beauty? thou pretty plaything! dear deceit,
That steals so softly over the stripling's heart
And gives it a new pulse unknown before! [ Blair ]

Within a bony, labyrinthean cave,
Reached by the pulse of the aerial wave,
This sibyl, sweet, and mystic sense is found,
Muse, that presides over all the powers of sound. [ Abraham Coles ]

There needs a long time to know the world's pulse. [ English Proverb, collected by George Herbert ]

Two souls and one thought, two hearts and one pulse. [ Halen ]

The heart that has once been bathed in love's pure fountain retains the pulse of youth forever. [ Landor ]

Happiness never lays its finger on its pulse. If we attempt to steal a glimpse of its features it disappears. [ Alexander Smith ]

Style! style, why, all writers will tell you that it is the very thing which can least of all be changed. A man's style is nearly as much a part of him as his physiognomy, his figure, the throbbing of his pulse, - in short, as any part of his being which is at least subjected to the action of the will. [ Fenelon ]

Ahab cast a covetous eye at Naboth's vineyard, David a lustful eye at Bathsheba. The eye is the pulse of the soul; as physicians judge of the heart by the pulse, so we by the eye; a rolling eye, a roving heart. The good eye keeps minute time, and strikes when it should; the lustful, crochet-time, and so puts all out of tune. [ Rev. T. Adams ]
