Clear and sweet as the silvery chime of bells ringing in happy dreams, floated through the crystal air the sound of the Angelus; and fainter and fainter fell the echoes, dying in immeasurable distance. Low bent the shaven head, and through brown, fingers stole the consecrated beads, while with closed eyes the prayers were uttered; and in the pause, the guide made the sign of the cross, and Mr.
Her singing was less remarkable, but also well trained, and sweet to hear as a chime perfectly in tune. It is true she sang "Meet me by moonlight," and "I've been roaming"; for mortals must share the fashions of their time, and none but the ancients can be always classical.
"That so the mortar that cements each stone within the shrine, For her dear sake whom God did take, may all be mixed with wine." 'Twas thus the baron built his tower; and, as the story tells, A fragrance rare bewitched the air whene'er they rang the bells. A merrier music tinkled down when harvest-days were long: They seemed to chime at vintage-time a catch of vintage-song;
I walked a long time, and when I thought I had nearly done enough, and might conscientiously yield to the fatigue that almost overpowered me might relax this forced action, and, sitting down on a stone I saw near, submit resistlessly to the apathy that clogged heart and limb I heard a bell chime a church bell.

Some words that Mrs. Barfield had said came back to her; she had never quite understood them, but she had never quite forgotten them; they seemed to chime through her life. "My girl," Mrs.
The Tenor was about to reply, but his voice was drowned by a sudden clangour of the bells above them. The clock struck, the chime rang, and while they waited listening, the Tenor raised his hat. They were standing at the corner of the cloisters, looking up to the clock tower and its tapering spire, which surmounted the Norman facade and entrance to the south transept.
Scott evidently arranged his scheme of metre with extreme care here, though it is possible that after this severe exercise he let it take care of itself to some extent later. His introduction is in the strict octosyllable, with only such licences of slur or elision 'The pi | tying Duch | ess praised its chime, 'He had played | it to King Charles the Good'
Furthermore, Aristotle says that the quality of poetic language is a continual slight novelty. In the highest poetry, like that of Milton, these three modes of inflection, metrical, linguistical, and moral, all chime together in praise of the truer order of life." And like that order is the order of the figure of man, an order most beautiful and most secure when it is put to the proof.
For the fourth time the day had been saved. It was a Sabbath day in late August, and in no month of the year does a Sabbath day so chime with the time.
