It will be apparent that while Buddhism has in certain respects a vigorous system of punishment for sin, yet its method of relief is such that the common people can gain only the most shallow and superficial views of salvation. Buddhism has not served to deepen the sense of responsibility, nor helped to build up character.
But this merely served to deepen the poignancy of the impending parting for that she and Garth must part she recognized as inevitable. Loving each other as men and women love but once in a lifetime, their love was destined to be for ever unconsummated. They were as irrevocably divided as though the seas of the entire world ran between them.
Such as nature is, her mysteries are terrible enough, her powers mighty enough that nature which creates us, mocks at us, and kills us without our seeking to deepen the shadows that surround us. But where is the man who thinks he has lived that will deny woman's power over us? Has he ever taken leave of a beautiful dancer with trembling hands?
"If I should survive this duel, monsieur," questioned Gering, "shall I be free?" "Monsieur, escape will be unnecessary." "Before we engage, let me say that I regret your brother's death." "Monsieur, I hope to deepen that regret," answered Iberville quietly. Then they took up their swords. Meanwhile the abbe and Jessica were making their way swiftly towards the manor-house.
Amos heaps image on image to deepen the impression of terror and confusion. Everything is turned to its opposite. The sun sets at midday, and noon is darkness. Feasts change to mourning, songs to lamentations. Rich garments are put aside for sackcloth, and flowing locks drop off and leave bald heads. These are evidently all figures vividly piled together to express the same thought.
"No, sir; your sister's sneers, and the petty slights and persecutions for which I am indebted to her friend, Miss Sutherland, have not sufficient importance to affect me in any degree. My decision is based upon the unfortunate fact that I do not love you." "No woman can withstand such devotion as I bring you, and time would soon soften and deepen your feelings."
"He is one of those dear people," she told him, "who seem to try to make up for their own incorrigible laziness by going out of their way to put some one else in the way of a start." She saw the colour deepen in his face, and a subdued light shine in his eyes, as he thanked her rather haltingly. The little show of diffidence was very charming.
It was evening: darkness had for some time fallen: no light had yet been taken into the dying woman's apartment; and the pale starlight which faintly illumined the room served, as Mary Woodley softly approached on tiptoe to the bedside of her, as she supposed, sleeping parent, but to deepen by defining the shadows thrown by the full, heavy hangings, and the old massive furniture.
Havelok took the ring from his pouch, and set it in the jarl's hand without a word; and long Sigurd looked at it. I saw the red on his cheek deepen as he did so, but he said never a word for a long time. And next he looked at Havelok, and the eyes of these two met. "This is beyond price," said the jarl slowly. "Not my whole town would buy this. It is such as a queen might wear and be proud of."
The poor Giacomo will not listen to me, he grows weak and childish, and he loved the master too well better," and here her voice would deepen into reproachful solemnity, "yes, better actually than St. Joseph himself! And of course one is punished for such a thing. I always knew my master would die young he was too gentle as a baby, and too kind-hearted as a man to stay here long."
