The energy, superhuman energy, of the thing is amazing: the storm throbs in the forest: one feels the pulse of the storm-god; the sforzando shocks and shrieks add to the terrific wildness of the scene.
And he was of a darkish hue, had red eyes, carried a noose in his hand, and was dreadful to behold. And he was standing beside Satyavan and was steadfastly gazing at him. And seeing him, Savitri gently placed her husband's head on the ground, and rising suddenly, with a trembling heart, spake these words in distressful accents, 'Seeing this thy superhuman form, I take thee to be a deity.
"Quite legible," she said; for she answered before it was blotted by her tears. Instead of "forgiven," Garth had written: "LOVED." "Can you post it at once?" Garth asked, in a low, eager voice. "And she will come oh, my God, she will come! If we catch to-night's mail, she may be here the day after to-morrow!" Nurse Rosemary took up the letter; and, by an almost superhuman effort, spoke steadily.
He thought, for he was not sure that it was not some cheat of the fancy. Gazing still, in the centre of that light there appeared to gleam forth, for one moment, a form of superhuman height. It was the form of a man, that seemed clad in arms like those on the wall, leaning on a spear, whose point was lost behind the shafts of the crommell.
The inscription on its portals shall not be, 'Here pleasure is the chief good, but 'This is an arena for character. He who leaves this garden shall not owe to it the yearning for happiness and comfort, but an immovably steadfast moral discipline.

A divine light played about that ulcerated head, a superhuman expression illuminated the fermenting skin of the epileptic features.
A winding and turbid river divided the city in unequal parts, in one of which there rose a vast and glorious temple, crowned with a dome of almost superhuman size and skill, on which the favorite sign of heaven flashed with triumphant truth. The expression of relief which, for a moment, had reposed on the face of Lothair, left it when he said, in an agitated voice, "I at length behold Rome!"
I am a prisoner in this damned hole till the weather breaks. Hal." I hardly recognised him at first. Only the poor ghost he seemed of the Hal I had known as a boy. His long privations endured during the Paris siege, added to the superhuman work he had there put upon himself, had commenced the ruin of even his magnificent physique a ruin the wild, loose life he was now leading was soon to complete.
Unfortunately in his hasty departure he neglected to take one with him; but he did his best to atone for this oversight by making almost superhuman exertions. He strode over the sands like an ostrich of the desert, and clambered up the cliffs and over the rocks looking, in his hairy garments, like a shaggy polar bear.
When Herod spoke, the people said it was the voice of God; and he was smitten with worms because he gave not God the glory. And surely the superhuman wickedness of the Cæsars may be regarded as a punishment, equally significant, of the fearful blasphemy of the worshipped and the worshippers. No wonder that the shores of Baiæ now present a picture of the saddest desolation.
