Hilda's presence affected him unpleasantly. What he felt, when he was with her, strongly resembled an unconquerable dislike, which was at the same time wholly inexplicable to himself. He could appreciate her beauty only when he was at a distance from her, and then the memory of it attracted rather than repelled him.
Nothing less resembled those degenerate Indians than these unconquered sons of the desert; who like the birds of prey, wheeling in the air before pouncing on their victims rode howling around the camp.
It must have been but a sorry lodging for a lady of so much personal weight in the world, and supposing her proportions to have resembled those of her husband, would not fail to cramp her exceedingly; for it is nothing more than a hole in the rock, measuring perhaps twenty feet in length, by six or eight in width.
And yet they had been selected because they resembled the characters in the play; and every time they went over the lines they gave them with more feeling and understanding. So vaguely at first, and then more clearly the poet began to see them as incarnations of his vision.

His holdings, in the eight years since he had come to the border, amounted to several thousand well-cultivated acres; and he looked like a man who, when he set out to get anything, would get it. He had an inordinate desire to grab up some more territory. Tall and thin, and sharp-featured, as well as sharp-tongued, he resembled a hawk.
Hilda's, the Church of the Epistles, opened their doors like wide mouths until the people pouring forth surely resembled happy laughter as they met and strolled and chattered, or else waved white bouquets at waiting chauffeurs.
And he smiled at his beautiful visitor's puzzled look, and went on: "The cab driver says that the cry resembled that of a parrot or cockatoo. What do you think?"
