"Now!" she cried, "if I would give way and go mad, as I could but do, for there is naught else left if I would but give way, that which is I and has lived but a poor score of years would be done with for all time. All whirls before me. 'Twas I who struck the blow and I am a woman and I could go raving and cry out and call them in, and point to him, and tell them how 'twas done all! all!"
She expected the touch, and the look, and then the blinding rush that used to come after it, lifting her from her feet and carrying her whole nature away as the south wind whirls dry leaves up with it and far away. That did not come, and presently she was covering her face with both hands, shaking a little, and Guido was anxiously asking what had happened. "Nothing," she answered rather faintly.
Then there is the middle-sized bear whose bloomers, billowed by the wind, become a ridiculous fat woman cut off at the waist. And the little bear's starched clothes crack and snap while the revolving tree-horse whirls about like some mad dervish. I often wonder if the family know of the wild actions that take place on the roof.
Cloud shadows following a shimmer of sunlit ripples; lines and runes traced on the surface of a blank calm; salt laughter of purple furrows with the foam whipping off them; tides and eddies, whirls, overfalls, ripples, breakers, seas mountains high-they are but movements and changing expressions on an eternal countenance that once held his gaze and wonder, as it will always hold the gaze and wonder of those who follow the sea.
Be brief, therefore, and next be legible write in a good, large round hand; just as, if thou wert speaking, thou wouldst talk with a fine, clear, distinct voice. Well, then, begin thus, 'Republic of France, one and indivisible! Make a flourish round that, lad, as if it came freely from the pen. When a man writes 'FRANCE! he should do it as he whirls his sabre round his head in a charge!
For want of stated times for contributions to the different objects, they are apt to be forgotten or neglected. They whose duty it is to make the appointments, are engaged in other cares; time whirls on; the year passes away, and no collection is made.
An hour ago I wanted to die, but since I've met you, Miss Rosa, I'd like so much to live." The young woman whirls around the table, lays an arm behind his neck and kisses him on the cheek. "You must, dear boy," she says. "I know what was the matter. It was the miserable foggy weather that has lowered your spirit and mine too a little. But look, now."
"If the whole man gets into a sweat then the evil humours are exuded, and the healthy sap gets a chance to circulate until one is full of it." And saying that she wiped her greasy lips for she likes to eat a piece of rye bread with goose grease before going to bed. Irritatedly I push the little pitcher aside, but its grayish green steam whirls only the more pertinaciously about me.
His draft of the resolutions went before the legislature, and the people directly afterward found themselves living in Orrington. Pond Cove, Maine, is haunted by a light that on a certain evening, every summer, rises a mile out at sea, drifts to a spot on shore, then whirls with a buzz and a glare to an old house, where it vanishes.
The step of a man in wooden shoes is heard as he steals along by the wall, or perchance it is the rain dripping from the roof to the ground. From time to time a dead leaf just grazes one of the windows, then whirls about and flies away. The indistinct echoes of some funeral bell are borne to the ear by the wind. From a corner of the stable comes the lowing of a cow.
