Her prayers are silent, rapturous communings with the Infinite. Her hymns of praise are the glad songs of birds; her requiems are the meanings of the pines; her symphonies the solemn roaring of the winds.
As soon as a religion is established, and more particularly when it has become the religion of a powerful state, the foreign and worldly elements encroach more and more on the original foundation, and human interests mar the simplicity and purity of the plan which the founder had conceived in his own heart and matured in his communings with his God."
His vein of sarcasm was keen and trenchant, his natural shrewdness astonishing, all the more astonishing because crossed with a strange vein of mysticism and a curious self-forgetfulness. As he grew up he felt the visitation of a mysterious internal voice, to which or to his own internal communings he would sometimes be observed to listen in abstracted stillness for hours.
The breath and strength of immeasurable antiquity Treasures coming direct from dead hands into mine A pleasant sound of coolness and refreshment Receptacles of death now dedicated to life The Borghese is a forest of Ardennes Profound and important communings A smiling deceiver Of an early-rising habit Hauling in on my slack A miniature cabinet magically made Titanic "If I had a murder on my conscience" None can tell the secret origin of his thoughts A singularly beautiful young woman She actually ripped the man open No leagues of chivalry needed in Rome A resident army Five foot six Corsets and padding She was wounded in the house of her friends.
If he had had money enough to buy three days' "grub" he would have accepted the generous offer, but as it was, he could not consent to be less magnanimous than the men, and so he declined in a manly speech; shook hands all around and resumed his solitary communings.

Health and a feeling for the picturesque by no means always walk hand in hand; and it was health the doctor sought for Brenton, during those winter walks, a mental health that could best be evoked from hard bodily exercise, rather than from communings with what Kathryn glibly termed the Great All-Mind.
Reason said: It was better to risk a possibility than face a certainty. Reason? Ah, no! It was Nature rather, the inscrutable Sphinx, repeating her stale old riddle, the answer to which is Man. A sound of laughter roused him from his communings with Reason. The lights were going up one by one along the Embankment.
Of course she could read a chapter in the Bible now, and should enjoy it quite as much as Abbie did. She had never learned that happy little habit of having a much-used, much-worn, much-loved Bible for her own personal and private use; full of pencil marks and sacred meanings, grown dear from association, and teeming with memories of precious communings.
I have heard their communings so often tauld ower that I almost think I was there mysell, though I couldna be born at the time. "I wuss ye joy, sir, of the head seat and the white loaf and the brid lairdship.
Friedel, with his wonted good-nature, set himself to pacify the warrior with assurances of his trust; yet while Ebbo plunged more eagerly into plans for the bridge-building, Friedel drew more and more into his old world of musings; and many a summer afternoon was spent by him at the Ptarmigan's Mere, in deep communings with himself, as one revolving a purpose.
