She was unutterably tired, and the rest was balm to her weary soul, but still, she fought against complete repose, until, like the falling of a mist, oblivion came at last very softly upon her, and she sank into the deeps of slumber. . . . It must have been some time later that something spoke within her, recalling her.
"See, child of my heart," said Hilda, addressing Edith, while she still gazed on the western luminary, "see, the sun goes down to the far deeps, where Rana and Aegir watch over the worlds of the sea; but with morning he comes from the halls of the Asas the golden gates of the East and joy comes in his train.
Well might the early mariners people such submarine paradises with sirens and beautiful water-witches, and imagine a fairy realm down there far under the sea. As Tom and I gazed down lost in those rainbow deeps, I heard a voice at my elbow saying with peculiarly sickening unction: "The wonderful works of God." It was my unwelcome passenger, who had silently edged up to where we stood.
It was the surface that was calm with him and the deeps that were frenzied. To be sure, all these seeming vicissitudes of his journey were parts of a plan symmetrically ordered from the crazed compulsion of suspicion and jealousy and now ripe for its fruition, which was to be murder.
The fish repose within the watery deeps, The snail draws in his head; The dog beneath the table calmly sleeps, My wife is slumbering in her bed. A hearty welcome to ye, brethren mine! Friends of my life's young spring! Perchance around a flask of Rhenish wine Ye're gathered now, in joyous ring.
"We must be thinking about home, Denry," said she. "Plenty of time," Denry replied. "What! All that wine gone! I'll see if there's any more in the sideboard." He emerged, with a red face, from bending into the deeps of the enamelled sideboard, and a wine-bottle was in his triumphant hand. It had already been opened.
She saw, now, that the river symbolized not only life as a whole, with its many ever-changing conditions and currents, amid which the individual must live; the river symbolized, as truly, the individual life, with its ever-changing moods and motives, its ever-varying and often-conflicting currents of instinct and training, its infinite variety of intellectual deeps and shallows, its gentle places of spiritual calm, and its wild and turbulent rapids of dangerous passion.
His blood glowed with the full glory of the sea; he was conscious of a clear sanity, for the brooding mists had vanished from his spirit. And even as he heard and felt the throb of mighty engines that came to him from afar, and considered what mastery over the deeps they represented, the thought occurred to him that he, too, was master of the boundless water, buoyant at his will.
That shadow of a vessel rising, you know, out of the profound deeps, had impressed me tremendously. It had not been imagination. Three of us had seen it really four; for Plummer distinctly saw it; though he failed to recognise it as anything extraordinary. As you can understand, I thought a lot about this shadow of a vessel.
She dwelt on that prospect, for an escape from the meshes of a painful hour the most woeful of the hours she had yet known-passed with Judith Marsett: which dragged her soul through a weltering of the deeps, tossed her over and over, still did it with her ideas.
