Jupiter is only enveloped, not concealed; but, at the same time, is it possible to be blind to the fact, that he has degraded himself to the habits of the flat-billed bird that he waddles most unmercifully when by chance he leaves the lake? that he hisses and croaks most unmusical, most melancholy? and that he gathers all unclean garbage for his food newts, and frogs, and crawling worms?
The raven himself is hoarse, That croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan Under my battlements . We dined at Mr. Keith's. Mrs. Keith was rather too attentive to Dr. Johnson, asking him many questions about his drinking only water. He repressed that observation, by saying to me, 'You may remember that Lady Errol took no notice of this. Dr.
Read Darwin, croaks the old bird, and calls me a callow fool, and flits." "Who was he? Did you find out?" asked Edmonds. "Some scientific grubber from the museum. I looked up the Darwin book and decided that he was right; not Darwin; the old croaker." "Still, that was not precisely news," pointed out Marrineal. "Theoretical news.
They hear the fearful crash, and see the splinters fly far and wide; and the foremost of the two, who, with her skinny arm extended, seems to direct their course, utters a wild scream of laughter, while a raven, speeding on broad black wing before them, croaks hoarsely.
I wouldn't associate with a sergeant, would I, lootenant? He kept on calling me lootenant.... Well that was how they got this new charge against me. Somebody picked up the sergeant an' he got concussion o' the brain an' there's hell to pay, an' if the poor buggar croaks.... I'm it.... Compree?
I miss the heath, its yellow furze, Mole-hills and rabbit-tracks, that lead Through besom-ling and teasel burrs That spread a wilderness indeed: The Woodland oaks, and all below That their white powder'd branches shield, The mossy paths the very crow Croaks music in my native field.
"Well, it's rather cool of me to take up your time talking about my own affairs," began Reay, at last "But I've been pretty much by myself for a good while, and it's pleasant to have a chat with friendly people man wasn't made to live alone, you know! In fact, neither man nor beast nor bird can stand it. Even a sea cormorant croaks to the wind!" Mary laughed.
The never-ceasing murmur of the waters tended to lull us to sleep in spite of the strange sounds which ever and anon came from the forest, caused by tree-toads and crickets; while occasionally owls, goat-suckers, and frogs joined in the concert with their hooting, wailing, and hoarse croaks. My faithful dog True had taken up his usual place at night below my hammock.
"Oh, yes!" said she; "I promise you every-thing, if you will only bring me back my golden ball." She thought to herself, meanwhile: "What nonsense the silly frog talks! He sits in the water with the other frogs, and croaks, and cannot be anybody's playfellow!" But the frog, as soon as he had received the promise dipped his head under the water and sank down.
He seemed to have heard, or read, perhaps, that females liked and disliked each other with the most capricious alternations and on the least tangible of grounds. At all events, here they were together now. That was quite enough. The two ladies had gone in, and closed their window. The sophisticated birds, with a few ungrateful croaks of remonstrance, had drifted away again to the water.
