The frieze is nearly three feet four inches high and its upper part is carved in rather deeper relief than the base: but, even so, the extraordinary delicacy of this unique carving was utterly wasted, since the technical treatment of the marble was wholly unsuited to its emplacement . — from Donatello, by Lord Balcarres by Crawford, David Lindsay, Earl of
but endlessly suggestive therefore endlessly delightful
Then there were pictures, bad enough most of them, no doubt, in the eyes of the critic, but endlessly suggestive, therefore endlessly delightful to Gibbie. — from Sir Gibbie by George MacDonald
bewildered ever since that early dawn
She did not understand this new move, she had been bewildered ever since that early dawn, on Sunday, when the old woman and the eunuch had rushed her into the limousine, driven her swiftly through the empty streets to a landing place on the river beyond the bridge, and hurried her on board this little boat, an old dahabiyeh reconstructed and given a new engine. — from The Palace of Darkened Windows by Mary Hastings Bradley

brewing ever since the early days
It had been brewing ever since the early days of Bahá’u’lláh’s sojourn in Ba gh dád, was temporarily suppressed by the creative forces which, under His as yet unproclaimed leadership, reanimated a disintegrating community, and finally broke out, in all its violence, in the years immediately preceding the proclamation of His Message. — from God Passes By by Effendi Shoghi
breast ever since those earliest days
A hatred against Dillwyn had always been in his breast ever since those earliest days when he first came to Rickton, and now it blazed and grew to monstrous dimensions. — from The Red House Mystery
