I can wait. No such mighty rush. No, SIR!" There came no answer to his words, for just then that swooping air-demon turned to vivid fire, lightning playing back and forth, from side to side, in every conceivable direction, until in spite of the broad daylight its glory pained those watching eyes. "Did you ever witness the like!" awesomely cried Bruno, gazing like one fascinated.
When the sacred roll of martyrs had scarcely been closed, Jerome went the round with his schoolfellows, and speaks awesomely of the darkness and dread gloom of these crypts, deep in the earth, dimly lighted by broken gleams through shafts and holes.
He thought that he had experienced the depths of loneliness after leaving the Missioner. But here it was a much larger thing. This night, as he sat under the stars and a great white moon, with Baree at his feet, it engulfed him; not in a depressing way, but awesomely. It was not an unpleasant loneliness, and yet he felt that it had no limit, that it was immeasurable.
Every man in the world is lighted by this Light. Through nature, the nightly twinklers in the wondrous blue overhead, the unfailing freshness of the green out of the brown under foot; through the never-ceasing wonders of these bodies of ours, so awesomely and skilfully made, and kept going; through that clear quiet inner voice that does speak in every human heart amidst all the noises of earth and of passion; through these the light is shining, noiselessly, softly, endlessly, by day and night.
"What is it, Daisy?" "Yes," said the doctor, "I should like to know what the argument is." "Papa," said Daisy, awesomely, "there is a place prepared for the devil and his angels."

Slowly, steadily, irresistibly, awesomely, it kept pace with them, sending no sign to them, mockingly indifferent to them mockingly so, indeed; for when the leaders of the Wingate wagons paused the riders of the ghostly train paused also, biding their time with no action to indicate their intent.
I tried to think it was all right, but it troubled me, for I saw that Herbert hadn't given up at all though he pretended to go away, and I hoped I wouldn't have any more trouble but I might have known! Herbert never gave up anything in his life, not even when father was living. He always managed to get his way, somehow " "Did he love you so much?" Jane asked awesomely.
His clothing hung about him in that sharply angular fashion in which garments cling to a corpse. Long, thin locks were matted above his brow, awesomely disarranged. But the pose of his head, drooped a little forward, suggested a melancholy reverie, nothing more. The golden locket, which he had shown me that well-remembered night, rested within his shrunken palm.
Thus, with a grand impressiveness, this great gully in the mountains assumed hugely gigantic proportions, stretching interminably from east to west, up to heaven and down to earth, silhouetted to the north against a small remaining patch of golden purple, whose weird glamour seemed awesomely to herald the coming of a new world into being, lasting but for a moment longer, until again the blue blaze quickly cut up the sky into a thousand shreds and tiny silver bars.
Tiptoeing across the living room, Joyce took her stand by the table and called timidly, expectantly and awesomely: "Come." The latch lifted and some one pressed against the door, and then, in walked Ruth Dale. She wore the heavy crimson cloak of Constance's, the fur-trimmed hood of which encircled her face.
