Where apple-bloom Capricorn Hangs from his tree, Glittering dim o'er The dim blue sea, And billowing dim o'er The dim blue lawns Of heaven come the nebular Sunsets and dawns, We too have the regallest Part of our being, Far beyond dreaming of, Hearing of, seeing. And the Lonely All-Beautiful Calls to us here: "My knights, my commissioned, My children dear!
Raleigh" "Well?" "I wish please you must not say Mademoiselle. Nobody will address me so, shortly. Give me my name, call me Marguerite. Je vous en prie." And she looked up with a blush deepening the apple-bloom of her cheek. "Marguerite? Does it answer for pearl or for daisy with you?" "Oh, they called me so because I was such a little round white baby.
Everywhere the apple-bloom; the hum of bees; children sitting on the green beside the road, their laps full of flowers; the song of finches; and the low murmur of water that glides over flint and stone so shadowed by plants and grasses that the sunbeams cannot reach and glisten on it.
They keep outside the sanctum sanctorum of the pheasant coverts. But with ferret, dog, and gun, and now and then a partridge net along the edge of the standing barley, they excel. So, too, with the wire; and the broad open Downs are their happy hunting grounds, especially in misty weather. This is the village of the apple-bloom, the loveliest spot imaginable.
The air was sweet with the scent of late apple-bloom and lilac and Hamil, brooding there on his bench in the sun, clasped his thin hands over his walking-stick and bent his head to the fragrant memories of Calypso's own perfume the lilac-odour of China-berry in bloom, under the Southern stars.
There is the one called "Apple-Bloom" with a Larsson child in a pink sunbonnet clinging to the slim stem of a young apple-tree; in the distance some long low red buildings behind a board fence, in the foreground the pale green of spring grass; there is the one in which the larger part of the picture is filled with delicate field growth, thin sprays of pink, blue and white blossoms, and long slender leaves, at the top of the canvas a little thicket of trees with a small bright head peering between the branches; there is the one in which a baby lies on the greensward under the trees; each has an indescribable charm of individuality.
At the door he turned to look, with a glance less of appeal than of incredulity that she, so lovely, so alluring, so desirable beyond all the world, a creature of springtime and promise embowered amidst the springtime and promise of the apple-bloom, could be such as her speech and action proclaimed her. Hal carried from her house, like a barbed arrow, the memory of that still and desperate smile.
Erasmus, as he sits enthroned in a scholar's chair in the market-place at Rotterdam, the buildings about leaning on their insecure foundations out of the perpendicular, and the market-women, with their apple-bloom complexions, crowding around him, shows a somewhat withered face and figure, less genial than the handsome Heidelberg professor as he stands at Worms.
And long after Hamil had turned on his heel and gone, he stood there, graceful head lowered a little and partly turned as though poetically appreciative of the soft twittering music which the bluebirds were making among the falling apple-bloom.
"Why didn't Tom tell me that he was going to run against my father?" she inquired of herself over and over. "I think he might have trusted me, so I do. It's mean of him. And if he should beat papa! Papa could bear that." She sprang to her feet and walked across the room, stopping on the way to rub her apple-bloom cheeks before a looking-glass.
