We had been fifteen days out of the world, for there were only the southern constellations to tell us, the southern cross so high and the north star so low, and the dazzling scorpion with diamond claws touching the central blue dome, to say how far down into the tropics we were, while the clouds of flame rested on the serenities of the matchless sea; and what had the great deep in its mysterious resplendence been whispering along the enchanting shores of the islands of Asia the true Indies, Oriental or Occidental as might be what had the wild waves that beat against the volcanic coasts made known in the boats wafted by the welcoming winds?
Verlaine's poetry exhales an exquisite perfume strange, indistinct, and yet, after the manner of perfume, unforgettable. Listening to his enchanting, poignant music, we hear the trembling voice of a soul.
"We are with you we are with you," sang their voices far above, as if they had gone up before. "Well, this is quite enchanting," cried the old tree. "I have them all, small and great not one is forgotten. How is all this happiness possible and conceivable?" "In the celestial paradise all this is possible and conceivable," voices chanted around.
And merrier feet were never seen. The little maidens seemed to pour their hearts out in the enchanting divertisement, and the whole apartment, with its dazzling lights and flowers, was full of laughter, mirth, and holiday from end to end. When the final roar of the violins dropped into silence, and so crumbled into nothing, all was ended.
Oh! if I expected here an adored being, I would have gold, silk, flowers, perfumes, all the wonders of luxury; nothing could be too sumptuous, too enchanting." "Well! these wonders of luxury; say a word, and " "For what purpose? What should I do with the frame without the picture? The adored being, where is he, oh! my master?" "It is true!" cried the notary, bitterly. "I am old. I am ugly.
And her hands and feet and skin marvellous! And that small-boned slenderness of build that is so perfectly enchanting. Paquin would delight to dress her. And" her jangling laugh rang out, waking echoes from hollow places "it looks do you know? it looks as though he would get the chance." "Why does it?" demanded Saxham, turning his square face full upon Lady Hannah, and lowering his heavy brows.
On one side of the promenade are highly effective rocks, grown with variegated shrubs, and on the other rich meadows. This English vegetation is truly lovely; it all presents an enchanting view to the eye of those who love nature's beauty. I remember following the bank of a stream so dainty and limpid that I could not tear myself away from it.
I had already enjoyed a sip of Thackeray, reading at a venture, in "Vanity Fair," about the Battle of Waterloo. It was not like Lever's accounts of battles, but it was enchanting. However, "Vanity Fair" was under a taboo. It is not easy to say why; but Mr. Thackeray himself informed a small boy, whom he found reading "Vanity Fair" under the table, that he had better read something else.
"But do not wear yourself out too soon in your ambitious labors. Remain young. They say that politics soon make a man old." One of the rarest gifts in women is a certain gaiety which does not detract from tenderness. This combination of deep feeling with the lightness of youth added an enchanting grace at this moment to Francesca's charms.
The discriminating sensibility which he displayed was enchanting. Oh should he be living, should I find him, and should he be at present all that his infancy promised, God of heaven and earth! I should expire. The pleasure would be too mighty for my years. But, should I survive it, I should once again before I die feel the animating fervor of youth. I listened in amazement.
