"After a shivering half-hour you said, 'God help! heaven's colour, the blue; and he said, 'Hell. Perhaps you then would roll upon your bed, "And cry to all good men that loved you well, 'Ah, Christ! if only I had known, known, known." There was nothing like that before in English poetry; it has the bizarrerie of a new thing in beauty. How far it is really beautiful how can I tell?
"That is the way with the maledetto morbo," returned the lay- brother; "one hour you are well as well, that is to say, as one can ever be in such a place as this and the next you are down on your back shivering and burning like like the poor souls in purgatory. Doubtless the more of it one has had, the less there is to come. That's the only comfort."
Up the hill she went, bracing herself against the wind where it swept through open spaces, shivering with the cold of it, fearful of the great roaring overhead where the pinetops swayed drunkenly with clashing branches: Dead limbs broke and came crashing down, bringing showers of snow and bark and broken twigs and stripped needles from the resisting branches in their path.
Up-stairs a very old and shrunken man sat shivering in bed, staring vacantly at some policemen and making feeble efforts to reach a wig hanging from a chair beside him a very glossy, expensive wig, nicely curled where it was intended to fall above the ears. "I don't know," he quavered, smirking at everybody with crackled, painted lips, "I know nothing whatever about this affair.
He went into his little stone house, and Uncle Wiggily went with him. "There's the pie it's no good!" cried the porcupine, as he pointed to something on the table. Well, as soon as Uncle Wiggily saw it he laughed so hard that his ears waved back and forth. "What's the matter? I don't see anything funny," asked Mr. Hedgehog, shivering so that more quills fell out.
My heart was what I meant. How I hate sandwiches misers shivering between sheets a vile gastronomic economy!" "Poor boy! I will make you little dough-cakes when you go apainting." "Plancine! Your image here, yes. But your dough-cakes !" "Then keep to your sandwiches, sir." "I must. But the person who invented them was no gentleman!" "Papa would like to hear you say that." "Say what?"
The fury of the battle seemed to concentre there, and through the time-worn walls the shot was plunging, splintering the planks and beams, and shivering the stone foundation. Sherman's battery came thundering up the hill upon its last desperate advance.
Dolores suddenly raised her eyes from the binnacle, looked toward them as they crouched shivering in the lee of the deck-house-companion, and she, warm and glowing in a flimsy, wet garment, laughed mockingly, and called to them. "I am forgetting what is due to my guests. Do ye feel cold? Will ye go below?"
Then they stood on the bank shivering, and so chagrined and so grieved, that they merited holiest compassion. Because another dream, another cherished hope, had failed. They had promised themselves all along that they would cross the Jordan where the Israelites crossed it when they entered Canaan from their long pilgrimage in the desert.
The cessation of exercise, however, quickly restored my sensibility in this respect, but the unhappy girl complained of being half frozen. Fire, therefore, was the first object of my search. Happily, some embers were found upon the hearth, together with potato-stalks and dry chips. Of these, with much difficulty, I kindled a fire, by which some warmth was imparted to our shivering limbs.
