Jones is immortal until he is found out; and then down comes the extinguisher, and the immortal is dead and buried. Brown, who has a higher place than he deserves, cowers before Smith, who has found him out. What is the chorus of critics shouting "Bravo"? a public clapping hands and flinging garlands? Brown knows that Smith has found him out. Puff, trumpets! Wave, banners!
Here it is more certain that its vigil will not be a protracted one. Its prey elk, deer, antelope, or buffalo soon appears beneath, unconscious of the dangerous enemy that cowers over them. When fairly within reach, the cougar springs, and pouncing down upon the shoulders of the victim, buries its claws in the flesh.
If conscience would trouble this woman to speak, gentlemen of the jury but she has no conscience, and she has no heart!" He turned again to Ollie, savagely; her mother covered her with her arm, as if to protect her from a blow. "There she cowers in her guilty silence, in what hope God alone knows, but if she would speak " "I will speak!" Ollie cried.
The poet is a mocking demon who rides on clouds dropping epigrams earthward, the earth that grunts and sweats beneath the sun or cowers and weeps under the stellar prairies. He mockingly calls himself "The Grand Chancellor of Analysis." Like Nietzsche he dances when his heart is heavy, and trills his roundelays and his gamut of rancorous flowers with an enigmatic smile on his lips.
The lama would give him no help, but, as a conscientious chela, Kim was delighted to beg for two. He built his fire as close to the cart as he dared, waiting for one of the escort to order him away. The lama dropped wearily to the ground, much as a heavy fruit-eating bat cowers, and returned to his rosary.
If any one were obliged to go beyond the boundaries, he would glance anxiously at the bushes on either side of the road; and when night came on, he would be forced to look with horror and sorrow at the reddened horizon, where a little village or lonely hamlet was burning to ashes. But who is it cowers there in the ditch by the highway?
And so I find you crying because your dear possession is going, and because, no doubt, you were confiding to him what a desperate monster a husband can be." There is hardly anything in his life afterwards that Rylton is so ashamed of as this; even now in the heat of the terrible anger that leads him so to forget himself, he cowers before the girl's eyes.
The Kalandars looked at the room and saw that it was a pleasant place, clean swept and garnished with cowers; and the lamps were burning and the smoke of perfumes was spireing in air; and beside the dessert and fruits and wine, there were three fair girls who might be maidens; so they exclaimed with one voice, "By Allah, 'tis good!"
But still she cowers by the great stove, and though the fire's heat strikes through her, she ceases not to shudder as she thinks of the frozen world about her, of Paradis, who cannot be insentient, who must be so bitter cold in his bed of snow.
Then comes the moral hero, who resists the strongest temptations to do wrong, who fights and conquers in many a silent battle with his passions and desires, who bravely faces ridicule and scorn because he is confident that he is doing right, yet who quails, cowers, trembles, and flees in the face of physical danger. Who will say which is the greater hero?
