Then the lips ceased to move, and life was extinct; but the branches retained, for some time longer the vital heat. Keats, in Endymion, alludes to Dryope thus: "She took a lute from which there pulsing came A lively prelude, fashioning the way In which her voice should wander. 'Twas a lay More subtle-cadenced, more forest-wild Than Dryope's lone lulling of her child."

And her wide eyes looked full into the glowing gray ones of the mucker. And each saw in the other's something that held their looks for a full minute. Barbara saw what she had feared, but she saw too something else that gave her a quick, pulsing hope a look of honest love, or could she be mistaken?
Then Dotty, grabbing Dolly's arm, said, "Don't stand there like that! We must do something! That baby will drown! Let's holler for help." Dotty tried to scream, but her heart was beating so wildly and her nerves pulsing so rapidly she could make scarcely any sound, and her wail of agony died away in a whisper.

It was then that Meriem opened her eyes. At the sight before her they went wide. "Korak!" she cried. "Korak! My Korak!
Still reaching his body forward, gazing fearfully, his aroused body pulsing swiftly to the wonder of the thing, he began to pray again, striving to keep his excitement under. "O God, have mercy on me, a sinner!"

There were a few qualifying considerations. "Of course," he pointed out to Kerim, "all we can really say immediately is that we're back in normspace and somewhere in the galaxy." She smiled shakily.
