For some minutes back the singer lady had been growing pale at the realization that the Doctor had not come to her since she had left his side in the churchyard and her eyes were beginning to show a deep hurt within. "I don't know, Elinory, and I've been a-wondering," answered Mother Mayberry as she sank down on the top step and took the tired child in her arms.
"Yes," he said, "the singer is true. I am Lono, and she whom I hear is my wife. The gods be praised." Leaping the wall, he found, as he had hoped, Kaikilani, smiling through her tears. He held her in a long embrace. Next day they returned to their native island, where they reigned to an old and happy age. The Magic Spear
"Aha! it was he, then, who was singing outside thy house, and he resembles me greatly?" Hiram bent his head and placed his hand on his heart. "We, lord, have paid that man bountifully because he is so like thee. We thought that his figure might serve thee should the need come." "And it has," interrupted the prince. "Where is he? I wish to see this perfect singer, this living picture of myself."
There had been the lamentable case of Sledonti, the dramatic poet, who had been belittled and cold-shouldered in the Owl Street hall of judgment, and had been afterwards hailed as a master singer by the Grand Duke Constantine Constantinovitch "the most educated of the Romanoffs," according to Sylvia Strubble, who spoke rather as one who knew every individual member of the Russian imperial family; as a matter of fact, she knew a newspaper correspondent, a young man who ate bortsch with the air of having invented it.

This radiant optimism permeates his poems. By temperament a singer as well as a seer and sayer, Emerson was nevertheless deficient in the singing voice.
"I have followed and found thee," the other answered. "Thy name?" "Leven," said the man. "I come out of Ireland." "The Nazarite travels far; but this spot He overlooked on his travels, and the people had need. I brought them help; but they desert me now for thee doubtless?" The Saint bent his head. The Singer laughed. "He is strong, but the old gods bear no malice.
An Italian singer strove to reproduce in the Kremlin the evening entertainments of the Tuileries. By such means Napoleon expected to dupe a government, which the habit of reigning over error and ignorance had rendered an adept in all these deceptions. He was himself sensible of the inadequacy of these means, and yet September was past, October had begun.
Even so far north as icy Alaska, I have found my glad singer.
The range of the voice is lessened and the singer finds difficulty in reaching the upper tones. In the general debilitation the singer tries, or rather is compelled through weakness, to poise the voice from the cords themselves and not from the diaphragm. Of the other forms of vocal-cord paralysis there is one of great interest, known as hysterical paralysis.
All that I recalled of the effects which, in the former time, Margrave's strange chants had produced on the ear that they ravished and the thoughts they confused, was but as the wild bird's imitative carol, compared to the depth and the art and the soul of the singer, whose voice seemed endowed with a charm to inthrall all the tribes of creation, though the language it used for that charm might to them, as to me, be unknown.
