Such is too often the ephemeralness of contemporary reputation.
"Makers of Modern Medicine"
James J. Walsh
The poet's love for music is reflected in his claiming it as the highest expression possible to man; but sadness comes to him at the thought of the ephemeralness of its forms, a fact that is borne in on him by the inadequateness of Avison's old March styled "grand."
"The Three Heron's Feathers"
Hermann Sudermann
This intensity of perception is largely the result, or the cause, of the poet's unusually sensitive consciousness of the ephemeralness of love.
"The Poet's Poet"
Elizabeth Atkins
