Whoever is acquainted with the modern prize-ring whoever has witnessed the heavy and disabling strokes which the human fist, skilfully directed, hath the power to bestow may easily understand how much that happy facility would be increased by a band carried by thongs of leather round the arm as high as the elbow, and terribly strengthened about the knuckles by a plate of iron, and sometimes a plummet of lead.
I see thee follow thy path without scorn, without love, with unfathomable eyes, wet and sad as a plummet which has returned to the light insatiated out of every depth what did it seek down there? with a bosom that never sighs, with lips that conceal their loathing, with a hand which only slowly grasps: who art thou? what hast thou done?
Meat, even meat itself, he would forego to be with his god, to receive a caress from him or to accompany him down into the town. Like had been replaced by love. And love was the plummet dropped down into the deeps of him where like had never gone. And responsive out of his deeps had come the new thing love. That which was given unto him did he return.

Nearer she raced. More direct became our fall. Now we were dropping as though at the end of an unreeling plummet cord; the floor of the valley was no more than two hundred feet below.
I gathered forward and swung the lead. I could not reach the umbrella-man, even with my spare line. Once, twice, thrice I swung, and pitched the plummet well forward into the bow wash. "By the deep, eight, sir." Again the bell clanged; the ship seemed to tremble and stop. "Another cast now, quickly." "And a half, seven, sir."
