| Awkwardness |
| Awkward, embarrassed, stiff, without the skill Of moving gracefully or standing still, One leg, as if suspicious of his brother, Desirous seems to run away from t’other. Churchill—Rosciad. L. 438. | 1 |
| What’s a fine person, or a beauteous face, Unless deportment gives them decent grace? Blessed with all other requisites to please, Some want the striking elegance of ease; The curious eye their awkward movement tires: They seem like puppets led about by wires. Churchill—Rosciad. L. 741. | 2 |
| God may forgive sins, he said, but awkwardness has no forgiveness in heaven or earth. Emerson—Society and Solitude. | 3 |
| With ridiculous and awkward action, Which, slanderer, he imitation calls. Troilus and Cressida. Act I. Sc. 3. L. 149. | 4 |
