Every day every hour did he build his aery castles; every hour did he buy the silk dress for Rosita the tea, coffee, and chocolate for his mother; every hour did he erect the new rancho, buy the farm, show a fortune in gold-dust, and demand Catalina from her father! Chateaux en Espagne!
"'As bees In spring time, when the sun with Taurus rides, Pour forth their populous youth about the hive In clusters: they among fresh dews and flowers Fly to and fro, or on the smoothed plank, The suburb of their straw-built citadel, Now rubbed with balm, expatiate, and confer Their state affairs: so thick the aery crowd Swarm'd and were straighten'd; till, the signal given, Behold a wonder!
"Under restrictions yes." "What sort of restrictions?" "Well, they won't be allowed to have an army or an aery " "Eh?" "An aery," repeated Father Jervis "an air-fleet, I mean. That wouldn't do: they might make war." "I see." "I don't see what better safety-valve could be suggested. They could work out their own ideas there as much as they liked. Of course, details would come later."
To this he replied, that the press had behaved very handsomely; that the principal papers of the country had attaches aboard on the first trip to the Pacific; but that all parties the government, the editors, together with De Aery and himself were agreed that the matter should be kept strictly private, until its practicality and value should be established beyond the possibility of question.
Only the eagles' nests upon the fierce dizzy pinnacles in the Yosemite surpass the home of the fish-hawk in unawed boldness. The aery of the Yosemite eagle is the most sublimely defiant of things built by bird, or beast, or man.
I had hunted buffaloes with the Pawnees of the Platte, and ostriches upon the pampas of the Plata: to-day, shivering in the hut of an Esquimaux a month after, taking my siesta in an aery couch under the gossamer frondage of the corozo palm.
What a world of new thought was forced upon us by the fancies and realities and charm and awe of our extraordinary condition, combined with the profound consciousness we could not fail to entertain of the effects which this crowning discovery of Messrs. Bonflon and De Aery must produce on travel, on commerce, on art, and the common destiny of mankind!
And it is worth while, in connection with this, to notice the gradations by which in the ancient mind everything ascended from the gross material to a refined spirituality. As in Nature there was forever going on a subtilizing process, so that "from the root Springs lighter the green stalk, from thence the leaves More aëry, last the bright consummate flower Spirits odorous breathes,"
But across from my aery were no lights and no people, for that house was shuttered tight from attic to cellar, its dark front as expressionless as a blind face. I marvelled how it came to stand empty in that teeming quarter. Too tired, however, to wonder long, I blew out the candle, and was asleep before I could shut my eyes. Crash! Crash! Crash!
Oh, pray, forbeare the roome. Fer. Fy, Fy! two Brothers. Two Eaglets of one noble Aery, Pecke out each others eyes! Welcome from France! How does your honourd father? Man. Well, my Lord: I left him late in Paris. Hen. So, so; in Paris! Hath he 3 bodyes? Lorraine, Burgundy, & Paris!
