An iron-pillared railway reared itself skyward and trains clamored past. Bloomsbury: millions of years and miles away! He was on the point of rushing up the station stairway, when he espied a cab at the far corner. A replica of a London cab, something which smacked of home; he could have hugged for sheer joy the bleary-eyed cabby who touched his rusty high hat. "Free?" "Free 's th' air, bo.
"As usual!" The cook, yawning, bleary-eyed, unthinkably tousled, was just bestirring himself. Steve saw his back and a trailing suspender as he went into the cook-shed carrying some kindling-wood in one hand and a bucket of water in the other.
But in a parking lot at four a.m., I saw Rama wave to three hundred bleary-eyed disciples, get in a black Turbo Carrera, and disappear. Ride To Heaven "I didn't do well enough to remember," wrote Donald Kohl in 1984. "Bye, Rama, see you next time." Months later, Donald's father called me. "Do you have a few minutes?" he asked. I knew that Rama would not want me to talk with Mr. Kohl.
In his mind ran the thought: the woman who ain't afraid. Not a hint was there of the timidity he was accustomed to seeing in women's eyes. And he was quite aware, and never more so, of his bleary-eyed, forbidding appearance. "How do you do?" she greeted him sweetly and naturally.

He was a very big, large-boned hound, gray with age and wrinkled and lame, and bleary-eyed. Dan was too old to be put on trails, or at least to be made chase bear. He loved a camp-fire, and would almost sit in the flames. This fact, and the way he would beg for a morsel to eat, had endeared him to me.
When Rick woke again it was dark and Scotty was stretched out beside him, sound asleep. He turned over and went to sleep again. Both boys woke up, stiff and bleary-eyed, as dawn light flooded the hotel. They grinned at each other. "I must have slept for two days," Rick said. "Not quite. Just about sixteen hours. But you needed it, and there wasn't anything to do."
The master-at-arms descended, and in a few moments the unwanted Finnegan appeared a gray-bearded, emaciated, bleary-eyed seaman, who brushed imaginary things from his neck and arms, and stammered, as he removed his cap: "Report for duty, sir." "For duty?" answered the captain, eying him sternly. "For death. You will be allowed the honorable death of an English seaman.
Nobody else seemed to notice anything wrong at all. The bus ride was a nightmare. It was a damp, rainy day; the inside of the bus smelled like the men's locker room after a big game. A bleary-eyed man with three-days' stubble on his chin flopped down in the seat next to him, and Phillip reeled back with a jolt to the job he had held in his student days, cleaning vats in the brewery.
Judd Jason, whose duty it was to see that none of our meetings was lacking in numbers and enthusiasm.
