He traced causes and effects through all their labyrinthian meanderings and deduced conclusions that seemed the result of inspiration.
"Sages and Heroes of the American Revolution"
L. Carroll Judson
The French are delicate, and nicely lead Of close intrigue the labyrinthian thread; Our genius more affects the grand, than fine, Our strength can make the great plain action shine: They raise a great curiosity indeed, From his dark maze to see the hero freed; We rouse th' affections, and that hero show Gasping beneath some formidable blow: They sigh; we weep: the Gallic doubt and care We heighten into terror and despair; Strike home, the strongest passions boldly touch, Nor fear our audience should be pleas'd too much.
