Icarus, the boy, stood and looked on, sometimes running to gather up the feathers which the wind had blown away, and then handling the wax and working it over with his fingers, by his play impeding his father in his labors. When at last the work was done, the artist, waving his wings, found himself buoyed upward, and hung suspended, poising himself on the beaten air.
"My poor boy!" replied Dalton looking in his face, and poising on high the oar he had so vigorously dipped in the blue wave "My true-hearted boy! it would be, indeed, a bad recompense for your devotedness, to lead you into the tiger's den; for myself, I have no fear; I will put you on shore, and return." "Never, master!" exclaimed the lad.
He surveyed the house, the awaiting virgins at the door, wished them both good evening, nosed the upper air, snuffed the gale, said "Good old Wanless my precious rods!" and dived for them before the ladies could descend. Thereafter a timidly poising foot and some robust breadth of stocking revealed the anxieties of Mrs. Devereux.
Monday's unfinished labors despatched, these familiars laid their heads together over a pannikin of their favorite brew, and the laundress, poising her saucer with the elegance which was the envy of her circle, ventured the opinion that the housemaid was holding in reserve a palate-tickling morsel concerning the missus; whereupon the housemaid cloaked herself afresh with mystery and "suspicioned" that she could tell things if she were one of those odious persons who carried tales, which of course she was not.
The figure was tall and thin, and the countenance expressive of care and anxiety; but there was something in the hue of the skin, and gaunt and unearthly appearance of the whole form, which no being of this world was ever seen to wear.

Is there anything to get ready?" "But vot der hell," cried the fat man again. She turned on him. "Fool! fool! Will you shout and curse all night, till the algemas are on you?" "Yes; an' you put dem on us," the tall man interrupted. She turned swiftly on him, poising her small head over her bare breasts with a superb scorn. "Why do you lie?" she demanded hotly. "Why do you lie?
Finally, when my patience was well-nigh exhausted, for the afternoon was wearing away and I had some distance to walk, a swift flew past me from behind, and, with none of that poising over the entrance such as is commonly seen when a swift goes down a chimney, went straight into the trunk. In half a minute or less he reappeared without a sound, and was out of sight in a second.
The sky is blue, the sun is often fiercely hot; you could not perhaps prove that the pathetic radiance is not an efflux of your own consciousness that summer is but hanging over the land, briefly poising on wings which flit at the first dash of rain, and will soon vanish in long retreat before the snow. But somehow, from without or from within, that light of the North is there.
The waiter hovered, poising for his swoop. Suddenly she smiled. 'New York has changed me too, Joe, she said. 'Mary! he cried. 'Ze pill, sare, observed the waiter. Joe turned. 'Ze what! he exclaimed.
