And here once more, he thought, though it was no more than a guess yet he thought that already the running of chariot-wheels was audible the tumult of the hosts of God gathering about the camp of the saints he thought that already beyond the bars of the dark Gabriel set to his lips the trumpet of doom and heaven was astir.
But the plans which the young habitues of the Circolo had arranged for receiving her, had been in some degree modified. The scheme of harnessing their noble selves to her chariot-wheels had been abandoned; and instead of that it had been understood that the Marchese Lamberto would himself go in his carriage to meet her a few miles out of the city and bring her in.
It was a degradation to be dragged at the chariot-wheels of conquering general, emperor, or consul it broke the heart of many a barbarian king, and led some of them to suicide rather than face the degradation.
Washington asking leave to gallop on ahead, in order to announce his Excellency's speedy arrival to the lady there. The progress of the Commander-in-Chief was so slow, that several humbler persons who were invited to meet his Excellency came up with his carriage, and, not liking to pass the great man on the road, formed quite a procession in the dusty wake of his chariot-wheels.

"Thanks be unto God," he says, "who always causeth us to triumph." Only to his mind the occupant of the car of victory was not himself, but Christ; he was only a satellite, showering largess in the name of the Victor among the crowd around the chariot-wheels. Such is the image of the Apostle which grows on the imagination as we read his extraordinary life. Yet there was another side.
As the rays of the sun heat this mobile and immobile universe, so will the shafts shot by Arjuna's hands scorch my sons. It seemeth to me that the Chamus of the Bharatas, terrified at the clatter of Arjuna's chariot-wheels, are already broken through in all directions. Vidhatri hath created Arjuna as an all-consuming Destroyer.
They range themselves on either side of the roadway, and stand like statues, waiting for the appearance of Pharaoh. There is a whir of chariot-wheels, and the royal chariot sweeps through the gateway, and sets off at a good round pace towards the temple.
