Christophe had no tremors about it: he hurled himself blindly at an unknown art of which the laws were only known to himself. His first idea had been to clothe in music a fairy fantasy of Shakespeare or an act of the second part of Faust. But the theaters showed little disposition to make the experiment. It would be too costly and appeared absurd.
Indeed many fish, such as the grunts, make various sounds which are plainly audible even to our ears high above the water, and we cannot suppose that this is a useless accomplishment. But the ears of fishes and the line of tiny tubes which extends along the side may be more effective in recording the tremors of the water transmitted by moving objects than actual sound.
It is supposed that thenceforth the tremors of the good citizens ceased. The massive magazine with its fiery contents yet stands, though terrible peals of thunder have shaken it and fearful bolts have fallen near. It has even found expression in the American Journal of Science and Arts.
The consciousness of the warm sunny city outside his window and the tender tremors with which his father's voice festooned the strange sad happy air, drove off all the mists of the night's ill humour from Stephen's brain. He got up quickly to dress and, when the song had ended, said: That's much prettier than any of your other COME-ALL-YOUS. Do you think so? asked Mr Dedalus.
The Governor, who was still in London, wrote a letter full of tender solicitude and graceful compliment.

She looked up with a movement almost nervous. "Do you dare I mean, care to be more concise?" "I would rather not," he replied in a voice from which he hoped he had expelled the tremors of alarm. "As you please, Mr. Gatewood.
A girlish figure was revealed, one protective arm thrown across the eyes. "Don't strike me," said the girl again, and again Banneker's heart was shaken within him by such tremors as the crisis of some deadly fear might cause. "You needn't be afraid," he stammered. "I've never been afraid before," she said, hanging her weight away from him. "Won't you let me go?"
That fact was, indeed, being proved in a more effective though less heroic fashion, by the safe transport of hundreds of thousands of American troops across the Atlantic; but possibly public opinion needed the more spectacular demonstration, and it certainly showed that the spirit of British seamen was unaffected by the tremors of politicians.
That night we made a good lee, and lay in a pool of stars, very tranquil and alive with travelling lights, great globed fishes filled with soft radiance, and dreaming glimmers and pulsating tremors of glory and sudden errands of fire. Sailor and I stayed up quite late watching the wonder in which we so spaciously floated, and of the two of us, I am sure that Sailor knew more than I.
