At any rate, whether because the state of affairs is yet unsettled, or because of the invisible subtle spirit of optimism that blows through the heavily clustering telephone-wires and past the neat little modern villas and down the solidly pretentious streets, one can't help finding a tiny hope that Winnipeg, the city of buildings and the city of human beings, may yet come to something.
So this morning, though it was still so early in the year, provident mothers with little children, and others bent on a cheaper holiday than August could afford, were walking in light dresses about the roads, emerging gaily from little front gates, clustering round the little bright shops with their piles of fruit and cakes and sweets.
I know a pool of purple rimmed with white Where wild-fowl, warming for the morning flight, Wait clustering and crying on the brink. And I know hillsides where the partridge breeds. Aye-yee! Aye-yee, aye-yah! Aye-yee I see new distances beyond a blue horizon flung. I laugh, because the people under roofs believe That last year's ways are this! No roads are old! New grass has grown!
In spite of these prettiest of all ornaments clustering brightly round the building in spite of the perfect repair in which it was kept from top to bottom there was something repellent to me in the aspect of the whole place: a deathly stillness hung over it, which fell oppressively on my spirits.
The nightingale, nested in clustering roses and bathed with moonlight, never poured forth its song with a sweeter impulse. At first it was the desperation of genius, but that soon merged itself into an exquisite power that held her little audience in amazement. Olympia grew restless. Had she, with her own hands, given her crown and sceptre to another?
Then it went back to the mountain man, a black shape in the loneliness of the night. A slowly lightening sky, beneath it the transparent sapphire of the desert wakening to the dawn, and cutting the blue expanse the line of the new trail. A long butte, a bristling outline on the paling north, ran out from a crumpled clustering of hills, and the road bent to meet it.
I command you, men, kill him not!" muttered Captain Blessington with suppressed passion, as his troops were preparing to immolate him on their clustering bayonets. "Such a death were, indeed, mercy to such a villain." "Ha! ha!" laughed Wacousta in bitter scorn; "who is there of all your accursed regiment who will dare to take him alive?"
There stood the asters like torn paper flowers upon withered potato-shaws; the dahlias hung their stupid, crinkled heads upon their broken stems, and the hollyhocks showed small stunted buds at the top, and great wet, rotting flowers clustering down their stalks. And disappointment and bitterness cut deep into the young heart. As the flowers were dying, she was ripening for the winter of life.
The roadway, as it passes the boundary fence of the selection, gleams yellow under the strong glare of the sun, until, winding behind the clustering trees and bushes, it disappears.
Little Lily, as they used to call her five years ago; and Devereux, who seemed to look so intently and so strangely on the flash and whirl of the dancers, saw but an old fashioned drawing-room, with roses clustering by the windows, and heard the sweet rich voice, to him the music of Ariel, like a far-off dirge a farewell sometimes a forgiveness and sometimes the old pleasant talk and merry little laugh, all old remembrances or vain dreams now.
