The sun sank down, and the magic after-glow shone in the opposite sky, tinging ship and sails and waves. "I am very sorry too," he said; and he sighed and looked astern eastwards, and thought of the golden hours he had spent on that broad track stretching away behind.
'That's Borkum light, said Davies, presently; 'the fog's lifting. A keen wind from the west struck our faces, and as swiftly as it had come the fog rolled away from us, in one mighty mass, stripping clean and pure the starry dome of heaven, still bright with the western after-glow, and beginning to redden in the east to the rising moon.
The reflected sunset lingers on the walls and crags and towers, that shine imaged in the wet sands, the after-glow hangs over the eastern sky, and these have their charm; but their charm yields to that of golf.
The evening had now ripened to the long after-glow of sunset. The sea was the purple of grapes, and wine-colored hues flowed among the high shoulders of the mountains. "I have seen a sight like this," said Gaston, "between Granada and Malaga." "So you know Spain!" said the Padre. Often he had thought of this resemblance, but never till now met any one to share his thought.
Above, masses of ragged wrack scudded aimlessly across the sky, whose leaden hue was cheerless and grim, save where, in the west, the sun went down suddenly in a wrath of crimson majesty, the darkness of night descending on the scene as if a curtain of crepe, had been let down the moment after he vanished beneath the waste of angry waters, unlightened by a single ray of his customary after-glow.
Withington sat in the parlor and talked of crops with Henry, wan beside her, while Ellen, safe at the back of the house, weeded a bed of pansies purpling there. A soft after-glow lighted all the windows to flame, and fell full upon the face of one dark flower, quite human in its sombre wistfulness. Ellen knelt and kissed it tremulously.
It was this bright presence that filled the garden, as it did the summer, with light, and now leaves upon it that tender play of color and bloom which is called among the Alps the after-glow. NOOK FARM, HARTFORD, October, 1870 The love of dirt is among the earliest of passions, as it is the latest. Mud-pies gratify one of our first and best instincts. So long as we are dirty, we are pure.
You should have seen her excitement when we were at the Bastille Column yesterday. She'll make a splendid woman, I assure you. Lily's very interesting, too profoundly interesting. But then she is certainly very young, so I can't feel so sure of her on the great questions. She hasn't her sister's earnestness, I fancy. In the after-glow of dinner, Malkin became still more confidential.
He looked at her, standing there in the after-glow of the sunset, with honest admiration in his eyes. "I am a tenderfoot, I guess," he admitted. "And you were not scared for a single moment!" "Oh, yes, I was," and Frances Rugley's laugh was low and musical. "But it was all over so quickly that the scare didn't have a chance to show. Come on!
"Because silver is sometimes more valuable than gold," said the priest mildly; "that is, in large quantities." The stranger looked at him curiously. Then he looked still more curiously up the passage towards the main entrance.
