Bournemouth's ignoble coast cowers to the right, heralding the pine-trees that mean, for all their beauty, red houses, and the Stock Exchange, and extend to the gates of London itself. So tremendous is the City's trail! But the cliffs of Freshwater it shall never touch, and the island will guard the Island's purity till the end of time.
When He had said 'I am He, there was something that made them feel, 'This is One before whom violence cowers abashed, and in whose presence impurity has to hide its face. I do not assert that this is the explanation of that panic terror. I only ask, May it not be?
In armor clad, like maddened Mars he moves; The trembling Huguenot cowers at his glance; A prop for holy church is his good lance; His eye is ever mild to those he loves."

Here was the girl whom he loved, driven from her parents, putting aside all question of appearances, and clinging to him with a wild and glorious desire to give herself to him and to be all his own!

When the sun's rays slant down upon your grate, then the fire blanches and blenches, cowers, crumbles, and collapses. It cannot compete with its archetype. It cannot suffice a sun-steeped swallow, or ripen a plum, or parch the carpet.
"That which was Godwin greater none than he Though fallen, and fallen on evil times, to stand Among the spirits of our age and land Before the dread tribunal of To-come The foremost, while Rebuke cowers pale and dumb." The end came to the old man amid comparative peace and serenity.
The sand is precipitated to the earth, and the dust floats off in dun, shapeless masses. Several have shut me within a space, and are slowly closing upon me. My dog howls and barks. The horse cowers with affright, and shivers between my thighs, uttering terrified expressions. My brain reels. Strange objects appear. The fever is upon me! The laden currents clash in their wild torsion.
The skeleton frame of the witch shook beneath strong convulsions. Arbaces gazed upon her with a curious though contemptuous eye. 'And this foul thing has yet human emotions! thought he; 'still she cowers over the ashes of the same fire that consumes Arbaces! Such are we all!

"The Indian Druids of the wood Know where the fatal arrows grow; They spring not by the summer flood; They pierce not through the winter's snow. "Why cowers the dog, whose snuffing nose Was never once deceived till now?
