Sivu 126 - Is lightened ; that serene and blessed mood In which the affections gently lead us on, Until the breath of this corporeal frame, And even the motion of our human blood Almost suspended, we are laid asleep In body, and become a living soul : While with an eye made quiet by the power Of harmony and the deep power of joy, We see into the life of things.
Sivu 365 - I have mentioned had suddenly quitted the canopy above, and. endowed with life and a huge pair of widely distended jaws, had darted with the rapidity of lightning upon the crouching beast. There was a tremendous shaking of the tree-tops, and a confused wrestling, and jumping, and whirling over and about, amid a cloud of upturned roots, and earth, and leaves accompanied with the most terrific roars and groans. As I looked again, vision grew more distinct. An immense body, gleaming with purple, green,...
Sivu 362 - ... sounds, not unlike the preliminary crankings and growlings of a heavy steam-engine, when it first feels the pressure of the steam. He was, indeed, a monster ! — fully twice as large as the largest specimen of his kind that was ever condemned, by gaping curiosity, to the confinement of the cage. His body was hardly less in size than that of a dray-horse ; his paw as large as the foot of an elephant ; while his head ! — what can be said of such a head ? Concentrate the fury, the power, the...
Sivu 52 - I'd strike it would double clear round their bodies. Such a dancing and screaming and capering you never did see ! They soon scattered themselves, I tell you — the fat lazy old war chief last. He made a spring at a rail fence, and I believe would have gone over it at the first jump, although he carried weight with his two pounds of pewter and brass rings in his ears, but just as he cleared the ground I wolloped the hoop around him, and snaked him back, head over heels ; he gathered himself like...
Sivu 128 - April 26. 1752, being after 12 at Night of the 25th. " O Lord! Governor of heaven and earth, in whose hands are embodied and departed spirits, if thou hast ordained the souls of the dead to minister to the living, and appointed my departed wife to have care of me, grant that I may enjoy the good effects of her attention and ministration, whether exercised by appearance, impulses, dreams, or in any other manner agreeable to thy government.
Sivu 22 - The Atalanta fell off before the wind, bringing the frigate nearly astern, — a point of sailing in which square-rigged vessels generally have the advantage, but of no use in the present case, as the schooner had the unusual quality for vessels of her class, of sailing as well before the wind as close-hauled. In this way they continued for some time, the Atalanta rapidly increasing the distance from the frigate, when a sail to the leeward, and ahead, was announced. In a few minutes it was ascertained...
Sivu 365 - Gallantly did the lion struggle in the folds of his terrible enemy, whose grasp each instant grew more firm and secure, and most astounding were those frightful yells of rage and fear. The huge body of the snake, fully two feet in diameter, where it depended from the trees, presented the most curious appearances, and in such quick succession that the eye could scarcely follow them. At one moment smooth and...
Sivu 363 - There is something in the conviction of the immediate inevitableness of death that represses fear ; we are then compelled to take a better look at the king of terrors, and we find that he is not so formidable as we imagined. Look at him with averted glances and half-closed eyes, and he has a most imposing, overawing presence ; but face him, eye to eye ; grasp his proffered hand manfully, and he sinks, from a right royal personage, into a contemptible old gate-keeper on the turnpike of life. I had...
Sivu 349 - Fellatahs, who have numerous slaves. Such of the latter as are not employed in domestic duties reside in houses by themselves, where they follow various trades, the master of course reaping the profit. Their usual employments are weaving, house-building, shoemaking and iron work. Those employed in raising grain and tending cattle, of which the Fellatahs have immense herds, reside in villages without the city.
Sivu 364 - ... forcibly back, almost from within those formidable jaws. The astonished animal gave several jumps sideways and backwards, and stopped, crouching to the ground, and growling and lashing his sides with renewed fury. He was clearly taken aback by our unexpected charge upon him, but it was evident that he was not to be frightened into abandoning his prey.
