unforgettable

John Barleycorn sends his White Logic, the argent messenger of truth beyond truth, the antithesis of life, cruel and bleak as interstellar space, pulseless and frozen as absolute zero, dazzling with the frost of irrefragable logic and unforgettable fact.

To begin with, he was more than five years older than myself at a time of life when five years really do count, I being twenty-nine and he thirty-four; then, on our first leaving port (I don't see why I should make a secret of the fact that it was Bangkok), a bit of manoeuvring of mine amongst the islands of the Gulf of Siam had given him an unforgettable scare.

The little house of dreams added another poignant and unforgettable moment to its store of memories.

And in that tense moment the faces of all of them were imprinted on her mind in an unforgettable picture--one of them, an old man, with torn and distended ear-lobes that fell to his chest; another, with the broad flattened nose of Africa, and with withered eyes so buried under frowning brows that nothing but the sickly, yellowish- looking whites could be seen; a third, thick-lipped and bearded with kinky whiskers; and Gogoomy--she had never realized before how handsome Gogoomy was in his mutinous and obstinate wild-animal way.

The first book is merely a long introduction, but it opens with unforgettable lines--

With unforgettable sincerity he replied, "No." The word flew again like a pebble from the sling.

Many hidden corners and heights in the landscapes round about Nice are hallowed to me by unforgettable moments.

The illimitable greatness of the one, the unfathomable seduction of the other working their immemorial spells from generation to generation fell upon my heart at last: a common fortune, an unforgettable memory of the sea's formless might and of the sovereign charm in that woman's form wherein there seemed to beat the pulse of divinity rather than blood.

At first it had seemed to promise quite sufficient tragedy in itself--beginning as it did in unforgettable massacre.

His keen face, with those unforgettable eyes, so fierce and yet so humorous, flushed with pleasure at the sight of us.

Powell-- neither of them shocking in itself, but with a cumulative effect which made the whole unforgettable in the detail of its progress.
