"Thereto the body of a dog she had, Full of fell ravin and fierce greedinesse; A lion's clawes, with power and rigour clad To rende and teare whatso she can oppresse; A dragon's taile, whose sting without redresse Full deadly wounds whereso it is empight, And eagle's wings for scope and speedinesse That nothing may escape her reaching might, Whereto she ever list to make her hardy flight."
Jean waited; then he put a question with characteristic abruptness. "Who's on the trail?" "Who? Nick Westley. He's comin' for blood! Victor's blood!" Then Davia sprang to her feet with a look of wild alarm upon her beautiful face. "He's killed his brother!" she added. "He's mad ravin' mad." The man did not move a muscle. Only his eyes darkened as he heard the announcement.
"That's why we are runnin' you for judge," said Cam. "This cussed country needs you in every office it's got to clean out that gang that robs an' cheats the Injuns, an' then makes 'em ravin' crazy with drinkin'. They's more 'n Conlow to blame, though, Judge. Keep one eye on the Government agents and Indian traders." "I wonder where Jean did go anyhow," O'mie whispered to me.
The clouds had broken up, and the moon was shining above the great rocks at the foot of which I knew that the owl was flying silently and searching with glowing eyes for the happy, unsuspecting mouse or young hare amidst the thyme and bracken. Can Nature never rest? Is there no peace without bloodshed under the sun and moon, no respite from ravin even when the night is hooded like a dead monk?
There was this demure sinner, standing bolt upright in front of the door, his hat hanging on the handle, which had arrested it in its fall, and his long black hair, as if partaking of his consternation, flowing wildly over his cheeks; while Peter, utterly unconscious that no one was dancing, continued playing and capering in front of him, as if he was ravin distracted, and the doctor bent forward, pressing his sides with his hands, as if to prevent their bursting, laughed as if he was in hysterics.
"I did not say 'bullet in'," murmured Mr. Lavender closing his eyes! "I said bulletin. They have it." At this mysterious sentence Mrs. Petty lifted her hands, and muttering the word "Ravin'!" hastened from the room. No sooner had she gone, however, than Blink, whose memory was perfect, rose, and going to the window placed her forepaws on the sill.
Some one said he said he slept in the canyon last night. Anyway, he's ravin' crazy now. An' if he doesn't do harm to some one or hisself I'll miss my guess." "A-huh!" grunted Bostil. "Right you are." "Dad, can't anything be done to help Creech now?" appealed Lucy, going close to her father.
The world is a dank, malarious marsh, with fitful Will-o'-the-Wisp flashes of false radiance a vast cemetery waiting for our corpses. There is no such thing as happiness. Nature, red in tooth and claw With ravin, shrieks against the idea. Youth is an illusion, maturity a regret, and old age an apprehension. Fortunately Providence has sent us a panacea Universal Suicide.
Old Father," he added meditatively, "wal, surely, he was a character, Father was. Folks about here," he said, turning suddenly to Hilda and looking keenly at her, "think Father was ravin' crazy, or mighty nigh it. But he warn't nothin' o' the sort. His mind was as keen as a razor, an' as straight-edged, 'xcept jest on one subject. On that he was, so to say, a little wal a little tetched."
What makes you in such an everlastin' hurry, driven away like one ravin' distracted mad? 'A sick visit, says he; 'poor Pat Lanigan him that you mind to Bradore Lake well he's near about at the p'int of death. 'I guess not, said I, 'for I jist heerd tell he was dead. Well, that brought him up all standin', and he 'bouts ship in a jiffy, and walks a little way with me, and we got a-talkin' about this very subject.
