The plaintiveness of that cry, the awesomeness of what I had seen of what was going on at that moment almost within the reach of our arms the darkness, the desolation of our two souls, affected me as I had never been affected in my whole life before.
The solitude and awesomeness of a stormy night at sea along this rough and rugged coast is heightened by the wild tempests which brood over the waters, strewing the shore with wrecks at all seasons of the year.
Down a long, long lane down there, a little way past the cottonwood tree, where the lane quits going on, that is where the world stops. You know that is the place because of the awesomeness that comes to you. The old cottonwood stands sentinel over that region of the Great Beyond. So tall and big and still he is that if you look at him awhile you will get the strange feeling of things.

"We did our best," replied Fitz, with a simple intrepidity which rather spoilt the awesomeness of the situation. "I am not speaking to you," returned the lady.

Lashing rain, driven by the wind with sudden fury, pours down upon the hamlet lying just below, but leaves Wharram-le-Street without a drop of moisture.
