Pigasov smiled ironically. A footman came in and announced the arrival of Alexandra Pavlovna and her brother. Darya Mihailovna rose to meet her guests. 'How do you do, Alexandrine? she began, going up to her, 'how good of you to come!... How are you, Sergei Pavlitch? Volintsev shook hands with Darya Mihailovna and went up to Natalya Alexyevna.
Certainly he did not go to visit Alexandrine. We all know how the habit of visiting certain places grows upon us, without any particular cause, until we feel the necessity of going through with the regular routine every day. He was to blame for following up this acquaintance so closely, but he did it without any wrong intention.
"Aylorff my husband I paid with my blood to make free my blood . My son my own " Immovable there, her arms flung up and tears so heavy that they rolled whole from her face down to the black grenadine, she was as sonorous as the tragic meter of an Alexandrine line; she was like Ruth, ancestress of heroes and progenitor of kings. "My boy my own! They died for it! Mein Mann! Mein Sühn!"
In the same way I prefer Apollonius's spell for soothing the dragon, as much terser and more somniferous than the spell put by Mr. Morris into the lips of Medea. Scholars will find it pleasant to compare these passages of the Alexandrine and of the London poets. As a brick out of the vast palace of "Jason" we may select the song of the Nereid to Hylas Mr.
Including Milan there were soon eight cities in the confederation.

He has performed the last miracle, and infused into the ordered ease of the Alexandrine a strange sense of brooding mystery and indefinable terror and the awful approaches of fate.
The form of verse is not ballad-like, but a series of laisses of decasyllabic lines, each laisse presenting one assonance, not rhyme. As time went on, rhyme and Alexandrine lines were introduced, and the old epics were expanded, altered, condensed, remanies, with progressive changes in taste, metre, language, manners, and ways of life.
And then followed a shower of feminine expressions of admiration from the four charming bridesmaids. "Is everything ready?" asked Margie, wearily, when at last they paused in their efforts. "Yes, everything is as perfect as one could desire," said Alexandrine. "How do you feel, Margie, dear?" "Very well, thank you." "You are so self-possessed! Now, I should be all of a tremble! Dear me!
My other example is Callimachus, the Greek, or rather, Alexandrine poet of the Decadence. The mention of his name brought in its train an excellent story derived from my father's uncle, the second Sir Henry Strachey, the squire whom he succeeded at Sutton. The story runs as follows. The lines quoted from the obscure Greek poet he translated to the young civilian, Henry Strachey.
'Where is she? he cried; 'speak, girl, or I will shut you up in the tower. 'Where is William? asked Alexandrine. 'If Melior is not here, and William is not here, then of a surety they have gone away together. The emperor looked at her in silence for a moment.
