Her last sleep, I won't say of innocence--that word would not render my exact meaning, because it has a special meaning of its own--but I will say: of that ignorance, or better still, of that unconsciousness of the world's ways, the unconsciousness of danger, of pain, of humiliation, of bitterness, of falsehood.
Chance by Conrad, Joseph View in context
For surely one important condition of innocence is unconsciousness of doing wrong.
The Quest of the Golden Girl by le Gallienne, Richard View in context
The longer Levin mowed, the oftener he felt the moments of unconsciousness in which it seemed not his hands that swung the scythe, but the scythe mowing of itself, a body full of life and consciousness of its own, and as though by magic, without thinking of it, the work turned out regular and well-finished of itself.
Anna Karenina by Tolstoy, Leo View in context
