"I stood entranced," continued the burglar, "gazing upon this babe, for I was very fond of children; but I remembered that I must not waste time, and stepped softly into the next room. There I beheld Mr. and Mrs. Williamson Green in bed, both fast asleep, the gentleman breathing a little hard. In a corner, just where my father told me I should find it, stood the box upon the table.
The circle and the triangle are the In and Yo of Gothic tracery, its Eve and Adam, as it were, for from their union springs that progeny of trefoil, quatrefoil, cinquefoil, of shapes flowing like water, and shapes darting like flame, which makes such visible music to the entranced ear.
"It was all absolutely ready, thank you, mother." "I brought the things the day before, except the cream. That I told him to get. And the flowers. I don't see the flowers, love." "They are mostly in the drawing-room," said Marie. "I should like to see the drawing-room now it's finished," said Mrs. Amber, rising eagerly. In the small room of pale hues she stood satisfied, almost entranced.
I trembled in sympathy with him. At length I ventured. Never shall I forget the sensation I experienced, when, to my full conviction, I actually felt a cold, dead, hand, between my fingers! I was suffocated with horror! I struggled to overcome it: again it seized me; and I sunk half entranced!
'The Rose and the Ring. Why not 'The Rose in the Ring'?" "Hi! Hi!" cried Joey approvingly, "Right you are." During the entire act of Little Starbright and Monsieur Dupont David gazed entranced.
Stali!" struck sharp upon the ear, and the prow turned aside under the mighty cornices that half met over the narrow canal, where the plash of the water followed close and loud, ringing along the marble by the boat's side; and when at last the boat darted forth upon the breadth of silver sea, across which the front of the Ducal palace, flushed with its sanguine veins, looks to the snowy dome of Our Lady of Salvation, it was no marvel that the mind should be so deeply entranced by the visionary charm of a scene so beautiful and so strange as to forget the darker truths of its history and its being, "Well might it seem that such a city had owed her existence rather to the rod of the enchanter, than the fear of the fugitive; that the waters which encircled her had been chosen for the mirror of her state, rather than the shelter of her nakedness; and that all which in Nature was wild or merciless Time and Decay, as well as the waves and tempests had been won to adorn her instead of to destroy, and might still spare, for ages to come, that beauty which seemed to have fixed for its throne the sands of the hour-glass as well as of the sea."
Her father forgot the time over his book, but so entranced was her heart with the expectation of the promised visit, now so near the day after to-morrow that, if she did not altogether forget to look for him as she stepped down the stair from the church door to the street, his absence caused her no uneasiness; and when, just as she reached it, he opened the house-door in tardy haste to redeem his promise, she looked up at him with a solemn, smileless repose, born of spiritual tension and speechless anticipation, upon her face, and walking past him without change in the rhythm of her motion, marched stately up the stairs to the nursery.
Our camp would have been delightful except for the wind which swept across the pass night and day in an unceasing gale. My wife and I set a line of traps along a trail which led down the north side of the ridge, while Heller chose the opposite slope. We were entranced with the forest.
Nigel was so entranced that it is probable he might have been caught in the horrible tempest and lost had not his cooler companion grasped his arm and dragged him violently into the passage where they were safe, though half suffocated by the heat and sulphurous vapours that followed them. At the same time the thunderous roaring became so loud that conversation was impossible.
The solemn, yet unfettered, grace of its rhythmic respiration suggested to Alwyn, first darkness, then twilight then the gradual far-glimmering of a silvery dawn, till out of the shuddering notes there seemed to grow up a vague, vast, and cool whiteness, splendid and mystical, a whiteness that from shapeless, fleecy mist took gradual form and substance, ... the great concert-hall, with its closely packed throng of people, appeared to fade away like vanishing smoke, and lo! before the poet's entranced gaze there rose up a wondrous vision of stately architectural grandeur, a vision of snowy columns and lofty arches, upon which fell a shimmering play of radiant color flung by the beams of the sun through stained glass windows glistening jewel-wise, a tremulous sound of voices floated aloft, singing, "Kyrie Eleison!
