"Dear friends," he said, "dear friends ..." And then, "Lord God," he prayed abruptly, "show me what is that in my hand thy tool where I had looked for my sword!" "I donno," Calliope said, as, on her return, we talked about Ellen Ember, "I guess I kind o' believe in craziness." Calliope's laugh often made me think of a bluebird's note, which is to say, of the laughter of a child.
As soon as they would fain understand one another and unite for a common cause, the craziness of general concepts, and even of the ring of modern words, lays hold of them.
They were some time at this craziness; and when they had finished, they and the fowls that were still alive could only lie and pant together among the contorted slain, the blood you would never believe how a cockerel will bleed and the carmine-tinted feathers. You might not believe me if I told you how many fowls they had killed, but it was a most disgraceful number, and quite inexcusable.
There has been a good deal of going to bits and of craziness of sorts owing to the centuries and the universe not always having been as wise as this lady.
Swedenborg, in spite of his taint of craziness, by the mere prodigy of his speculations, began 'to spread himself into the minds of thousands' including in no unimportant degree the mind of Emerson himself. Literary criticism counted for something in the universal thaw, and even the genial humanity of Dickens helped to break up the indurations of old theology.
She stood and looked at me with eyes like saucers. "You no savvy?" she gasps at last. "No," said I. "How would you expect me to? We don't have any such craziness where I come from." "Ese no tell you?" she asked again. "Not much," said I. "Damn Ese!" she cried. You might think it funny to hear this Kanaka girl come out with a big swear. No such thing.
He had been clinging to a fish-box for five and twenty minutes in the icy-cold water; but whether his craziness came of physical exhaustion or the shock of losing boat, son, and grandchild all in a few minutes, no one could tell. He never set foot on board a boat again, but sank straight into pauperism and dotage.
"I am told the land is better there; besides there are too many witches here," and he smiled. "We have been up to see my brother Thomas," continued Joseph Putnam. "He always has had the reputation of being a sober-headed man, but he is all off his balance now." "What does Mistress Putnam say?" asked Dulcibel. "Oh, she is at the bottom of all his craziness, she and that elfish daughter.
"I shall never marry till you do, Nan . . . because not one of the 'dozens' understand your your general craziness as well as I do." Nan laughed. "That's rude though a fairly accurate statement. But still, Penny dear, just to please me, will you marry Ralph?" "No" with promptitude "I certainly won't. If I married him at all, it would be to please myself."
And under the grip of terror I crawled to the front of the gallery and peered down between its twisted balusters. I told you, to start with, that Felipe was a crazy old fool: and I dare say you have gathered by this time what shape his craziness took. He had a mania for imagining himself a great man.
