But I swear by the Cow, I swear by all things whereon Hindus and Musalmans, and even the Sahibs swear, that I, and not my brother, was beaten by the landholder. But the case is shut and the doors of the Law Courts are shut, and God knows where the baba Stunt Sahib the mother's milk is not yet dry upon his hairless lip is gone. Ahi! Ahi!
We would attend the fa'a-Rua, which we now call the ha'a-Piti, the wind that blows both ways, for we waited for the northeast or southwest trade-winds according to the direction we made for." The chief lifted his glass of wine, and chanted: "Aue mouna, mouna o Havaii! Havaii tupu ai te ahi veavea!" "Hail! mighty mountains, mountains of Havaii! Havaii where the red, flaming fire shoots up high!"
It was written and how could we do aught to save? What has been, has been. Let it go, beloved. 'He was all my heart to me. How can I let the thought go when my arm tells me every night that he is not here? Ahi! Ahi! O Tota, come back to me come back again, and let us be all together as it was before! 'Peace, peace!

It is not necessary here to enter into a discussion as to the original conception of Indra, and the place occupied by him in the early Aryan Pantheon, whether he was originally regarded as a god of war, or a god of weather; what is important for our purpose is the fact that it is Indra to whom a disproportionate number of the hymns of the Rig-Veda are addressed, that it is from him the much desired boon of rain and abundant water is besought, and that the feat which above all others redounded to his praise, and is ceaselessly glorified both by the god himself, and his grateful worshippers, is precisely the feat by which the Grail heroes, Gawain and Perceval, rejoiced the hearts of a suffering folk, i.e., the restoration of the rivers to their channels, the 'Freeing of the Waters. Tradition relates that the seven great rivers of India had been imprisoned by the evil giant, Vritra, or Ahi, whom Indra slew, thereby releasing the streams from their captivity.
Now there were three great burying-places in Ireland the Brugh of the Boyne in Ulster, over which Angus Og is chief and god; the Shi' mound of Cruachan Ahi, where Ethal Anbual presides over the underworld of Connacht, and Tailltin, in Royal Meath. It was in this last, the sacred place of his own lordship, that Conn laid his wife to rest. Her funeral games were played during nine days.
Shaking out the folds of her gown, she leaned her back against the wall, and pointed with a finger on which were some trumpery rings.

The coachman and the valet with gold-lace and silk stockings.
He lifted his hand with a gesture of attention as a rich mezzo- soprano rang out towards them, "Per carita Mostrami il cielo; Tulto e un velo, E non si sa Dove e il cielo. Se si sta Cosi cola, Non si sa Se non si va Ahi me lontano! Tulto e in vano! Prendimi in mano Per carita!" "It is Angela," said the Cardinal, "She has a wonderfully sweet voice." "Prendimi in mano, Per carita!"
It is very wonderful; but the ford is lonely now that there are no bunjaras to camp under the trees. Nay, do not trouble to look at the sky without. It will rain till the dawn. Listen! The boulders are talking tonight in the bed of the river. Hear them! They would be husking your bones, Sahib, had you tried to cross. See, I will shut the door and no rain can enter. Wahi! Ahi! Ugh!
'Ai! Ahi! wailed the grooms' wives in chorus; 'he thrust her in, for it is better to die than to starve! 'I would have thrown myself in also, but that she was not dead and called to me from the bottom of the well, and I was afraid and ran.
It was the sound of a human voice raised in a sort of chant, ghostly and mournful as the sound of the falling dew. As it came, rising and falling, monotonous and rhythmical, the very plain song of desolation, Adams felt his hair lift and his flesh crawl, till one of the porters, springing erect from his crouching position, sent his voice through the trees "Ahi ahee!"
