And there followed the antiphony of ardour that finds its first utterance a subdued music, often interrupted, ever returning upon the same rich note. Marian closed her eyes and abandoned herself to the luxury of the dream. It was her first complete escape from the world of intellectual routine, her first taste of life.
There is the castle of the Grail, and as our eyes fall on it, suddenly there comes a hush, and we seem to hear the sublime antiphony, choir answering choir in heavenly melody, as Parsifal raises the cup, and the light from above smites it into sudden glory.
Out of sight in front of us, there was an answering thud, and "Tzee-ee-ee-er-r-r-ong!" a German shell had gone over us and burst behind the Belgian fort. Under this gigantic antiphony the motor-car raced along, curiously small and irrelevant on that empty country road. We passed great holes freshly made, neatly blown out of the macadam, then a dead horse.
I believe in him." Shelby approached them presently, with the melting of the throng, and Graves had to listen to an antiphony of praise, sung by Ruth and Mrs. Hilliard. In a lull he asked Shelby if he admired the oratorical methods of General Garfield. "Eh!" said Shelby, abruptly. "Your manner suggests his at times." "Yes oh, yes. I see. Powerful speaker, Garfield. No bad model, you know."
Timidly, at first, the music felt its way, as the people joined with a broken and uncertain cadence, the mingling of many little waves not yet gathered into rhythm and harmony. Soon the longer, stronger billows of song rolled in, sweeping from side to side as the men and the women answered in the clear antiphony.

And ever, as we marched, could the voices of Boev and the old soldier be heard speaking in antiphony, like two pipes being fluted by one and the same pair of lips. "I won't be responsible," said the one voice. "Nor I," responded the other.
The two took up a kind of antiphony, one against the other, now rising in volume, now dying down to a low grumble, again suddenly bursting like an explosion. "The lions have found that rhino," remarked Kingozi indifferently. For a moment or so they listened to the distant thunders. "I have not sufficiently thanked you even yet for this afternoon," she said. "You saved my life you know that."
They began to tell of the wonders of their strange land in an antiphony of reminiscences and descriptions; they unconsciously imputed a merit to themselves from the number and violence of the wells on their father's property; they bragged of the high civilization of Moffitt, which they compared to its advantage with that of New York.
He was touching unconsciously the dead husks of flowers as he passed by, and talking disconnectedly to himself. 'You can't go away, he was saying. 'There IS no away. You only withdraw upon yourself. He threw a dead flower-husk on to the water. 'An antiphony they lie, and you sing back to them. There wouldn't have to be any truth, if there weren't any lies. Then one needn't assert anything
It is I! in awestruck antiphony, till the stars appear; and, holiest converse of all, the mystic prattle of mother and babe: why are all these such wonderful talk if not because we remember no word of them only the glory? They leave us nothing, in image worthy of the time, to 'pigeon-hole, nothing to store with our vouchers in the 'pigeon-holes' of memory. Pigeon-holes of memory!
