ungenial

1 “The weather is raw and boisterous in winter, shifty and ungenial in summer, and a downright meteorological purgatory in the spring.”

2 “At first we spent our pleasant hours on the lake, or wandering on its shores … But it proved a wet, ungenial summer, and incessant rain often confined us for days to the house.”

3 Mrs. Kendal, filled with the golden light of a not ungenial self-regard, makes sport of her fame, which inspires Merrick to make a game of his—at least for a time.

4 It was a "wet, ungenial summer", as Mary Shelley recalled of the time she spent at a villa on Lake Geneva in 1816, "and incessant rain often confined us for days to the house".

5 Nevertheless, I fully believe that all which is sinister and ungenial in the Philosophy of Evolution is either the expression of unquestionable facts, or else it is the outcome of misinterpretation.

6 But somehow, this ungenial, obstreperous little bird, darting in a saucy way close to one's ears, and then, balancing over a flower, never ceases to excite interest.

7 In her initial research, she read about the cause of the “wet, ungenial weather” that kept Shelley and her company confined in their villa for days on end.

8 Doubtless conscience at such times condescends to play the courtier, and whispers, "What a good fellow you are! and how unjust the world is when it calls you cold and haughty and ungenial!"

9 It implies that one touch of God’s hand, one breathing of His Spirit, can effect such a change that what was formerly ungenial becomes agreeable; a vital principle is imparted to the heart.

10 I sat wrapped up within myself, grave and ungenial, while he lingered by Hessie at the piano, and asked her to play her soft airs again.

11 All the doings of the days of 1848 are recorded or commented on, and the pages are interspersed with notices of the sharp ungenial things said by one royal personage of another.

12 I have uniformly found my best actions, like other fruits of an ungenial climate, less to be admired because they were good, than tolerated because they were no worse.

13 And he cackled the harsh ungenial laugh which seems the birthright of all sorry jesters; and the doctor gave a little laugh too, more from habit, however, than enjoyment.

14 Better remain apart than run the risk of ungenial society, and enforced fellowship.

15 She spoke in a hard and ungenial tone, which he had not heard her use before.

16 The obscurest man in the House of Commons is not more modest; and there is nothing ungenial in his manner or his temper.

17 Indeed, these last he treated, as they deserved, with a scathing satire quite different from his humorous and not ungenial comments on the wonderful theories of the honest paradoxists.

18 I had known them either in their infirmities and their unamiable aspects, or else in those sterner relations which made them objects of ungenial and uncompanionable feelings.

19 It may make folks smile and stare, but the ungenial coalition of barbarous with refined phrases will prevent you in the end from being so generally tasted, as you deserve to be.

20 It is the most ungenial part of the Year, cold crocuses, cold primroses, you take your blossoms in Ice —a painted Sun—         Unmeaning joy around appears,         And Nature smiles as if she sneers.
