Talk-strength Samson.... There was a great din as of cymbals in his ears; he flashed through an ecstatic jumble of shining faces, lilies, prayer-books, unearthly joy, white skirts, gold harps, black coats, wings. He saw flowing garments, clean shaved faces, a sea of light a lake of pitch. There were sweet scent, a smell of sulphur red tongues of flame licking a white mist.
When to the sessions of sweet silent thought I summon up remembrance of things past, which will haunt the reader long afterwards, like the remembrance of an old German melody. SHAKESPEARE'S PLACE AND INFLUENCE. Shakespeare holds, by general acclamation, the foremost place in the world's literature, and his overwhelming greatness renders it difficult to criticise or even to praise him.
An innocent, unconscious love like Bébée's wants so little food to make it all content. Such mere trifles are beautiful and sweet to it. Such slender stray gleams of light suffice to make a broad, bright golden noon of perfect joy around it.
And it could not have sounded so very badly, for his father had smiled, saying, "Come, now!" and placed the big fingers of his left hand over his son's, and held the little hand and the bow together in his right; and thus they played for a long time, and produced a great many sweet tunes.
"One's got one's own right and one's own wrong," he grumbled, lighting his pipe. "I know what you're thinking," I said. He would not look at me. "You're thinking," I went on, "what a cad I am not to have written that letter." I sat down resting my head on my hands. After all love and liberty they're both very sweet.
"Then father came and asked me to send for you, and mother cried, and so did he. And, oh, Hermie, he's so sweet and kind! Don't make fun of him, will you? It's splendid to have him give in, and everybody feels glad that the district will be all friendly again." Herman did not gibe again. His voice was gentle. The pathos in the scene appealed to him. "So the old man sent for me himself, did he?"
It was not so easy to perch on a plum-tree as you might think, because the rainbow wings were so very large; but somehow they all managed to do it, and the plums were certainly very sweet and juicy.
It was the season of love ... how sweet is the sound of these words!
I am sure you would be happy, and the starling says your name quite plain, and he is such a funny bird to talk to; you never would tire of him. Will you never come? It is so bright there, and green and sweet smelling; and to think you never even have seen it! and the swans and all, it is a shame." "No, dear," said old Annémie, eating her last bunch of currants.
No, verily; for he knows that her sweet is poison; and that his bitter is to purge his soul, body, life, and religion, of death. God sends his love-tokens to his church two ways; sometimes by her friends, sometimes by her enemies. When they come by the hand of a friend, as by a minister, a brother, or by the Holy Ghost, then they come smoothly, sweetly, and are taken, and go down like honey.
