I was still in the swamp to my knees, and under those conditions even the short start we had might prove sufficient, since our pursuers would also bog down. The swamp was intersected by a series of small ditches and scattered bushes, which added to the difficulty of the passage. I heard Brumley floundering and swearing behind and went back to pull him out of a bottomless ditch.
Atherton; but those whose hairs are gray with sorrow; who have been softened at once and hardened in the fire of God; who have cried out of the bottomless deep like David, while lover and friend were hid away from them, and laid amid the corpses of their dead hopes, dead health, dead joy, as on a ghastly battle-field, "stript among the dead, like those who are wounded, and cut away from God's hands;" who have struggled drowning in the horrible mire of doubt, and have felt all God's billows and waves sweep over them, till they were weary of crying, and their sight failed for waiting so long upon God; and all the faith and prayer which was left was "Thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, nor suffer thy Holy One to see corruption."
With reeling brains, aching brows, and dejected hearts, the unhappy creatures had got so far as to curse the present; and those who dared to contemplate the future thought of it only as a bottomless abyss, towards which the flying hours were dragging them with unfelt but irresistible force.
They adjusted the valves regulating the oxygen supply in their suits, and Stefens slipped back the sliding top of the jet boat. Out on the hull he secured a line to a projecting ring, and ordering Tom to stand by, he pushed himself off the ship into the bottomless void of space. The line trailing behind him, Stefens drifted toward the two helpless figures.
And bless the good godmother! to crown all, there were two old tea-chests and a bottomless barrel in the yard. "Doubtless many causes influenced my father in his leaning towards Reka Dom, and he did not confide them to me. But I do truly believe that first and foremost of the attractions was its name.
In these intervals of partial awakening she never permitted them to lengthen out, as such sensation as she had was of one falling falling through empty space with whirling brain and strange sounds in the ears and strange distorted sights or hallucinations before the eyes falling down down whither? to how great a depth? or was there no bottom, but simply presently a plunging on down into the black of death's bottomless oblivion?
You will see the unfortunate man going step by step out of a bottomless abyss to begin his life again to create his soul anew. You will see how a blind man, with a noble heart for a stay, makes his way even in this world." While they were conversing, they reached the house of Mr. Desgranges, who began in this manner:
It was a frightful abyss that he looked down into; it was bottomless; and it seemed forever to reveal fresh depths. And he was right he was right. He sat carelessly drawing something for the child on a scrap of paper, thinking of things quite different; but involuntarily the drawing took shape from within his hand. "That's money, that's money!" cried Young Lasse, clapping his hands.
She searched the House keenly enough, but it was to find one face, and one only Ah! there he was. And now the House of Commons might vanish into the bottomless abyss, and take with it the House of Lords, and what remained of the British Constitution, and she would never miss them.
I go out to follow their tracks, and come near to the brink of a ledge of rocks, which, in the fog and mist, I suppose to be a little ridge, and I look for a way by which I can go down. Standing just here, there is a rift made in the fog below by some current or blast of wind, which reveals an almost bottomless abyss.
