With insane discordancies. From Wordnik.com. [The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 06, No. 33, July, 1860] Reference
It was in vain to try to coax or blind him; a marble statue is not more unruffled by the soft air of summer; and Mrs. Carleton was fain to console herself with the reflection that Guy's very next act after one of these breaks would be one of such happy fascination that the former would be forgotten; and that in this world of discordancies it was impossible on the whole for any one to come nearer perfection.
