Holliday's bull-strength was not believable. Again he got him just above the belt. And he couldn't help it this time this time he had to do it. He dropped a little his guard. And then it happened. It struck him then. The roof came down! As he lay head on the arm curled under him he knew it must have been the roof. By nothing else could he have been so smitten.
"Yes, he'd better get out of it," said one or two. But the young chap in question turned on them with a flash of his white teeth. "Don't you worry yourselves!" he said. "If he wants to fight let him!" They muttered uneasily in answer. It was plain that Samson's bull-strength was no allegory to them. But the boy's confidence remained quite unimpaired.
There was madness in Harrigan's hideous roarings of hate, madness in his blind rushes; but his bull-strength availed at first. He weathered destruction and managed to close again. This time the lighter man was ready for the scuff of those armed boots; he twisted and covered his face with his shoulder, and only his shirt ripped open to let blood stream from the rent.
He dropped to his knees and rubbed the ground with his neck in sheer abandonment to the joy of his own abandoned wickedness. He rose up in the hollow which he had dug, lowered his horns, and glowered at the youth, who advanced with a kind of awkward bull-strength of his own. "Chase yourself!" cried Bertram Chester, flicking the halter.
Gurnemanz does not know who she is nor, for that small matter, do I but she comes and serves these knight-monks faithfully for whiles and then disappears; and generally, it seems, during her period of disappearance disaster falls on some treasured pearl of a saint of a knight. Enter Parsifal, "the pure fool" Siegfried with all his bull-strength and energy shorn away.
