Browning comments to this effect upon Bordello's unwillingness to meet the world: But all is changed the moment you descry Mankind as half yourself. Matthew Arnold is the sternest of modern poets, perhaps, in pointing out the poet's responsibility to humanity: The poet, to whose mighty heart Heaven doth a quicker pulse impart, Subdues that energy to scan Not his own course, but that of man.
He remembered thinking that he had entered the City of Fire literally at last, "the minarets" already he seemed to descry "gleaming vermilion as if they from the fire had issued." It was curious how those old words from Dante had clung in his memory. "Eternal fire that inward burns." He thought he was feeling now in his body what his soul had experienced for long months past.
A little further on, he could descry two or three grated openings into the fountain court, but by them nothing could enter beyond the faintest reflection of moonlight from the windows between the grand staircase and the bell tower.
Tristram thought this odd, for it was impossible at that distance to descry the features of the riders. "We will go below," his father announced, rising in a leisurely manner. They did so, and stood by the cabin door, so that their forms were hidden while they could see perfectly all that passed on the bank.
But Cook was too far out to descry the narrow opening but thirteen miles wide of Juan de Fuca, where the steamers of three continents ply to-day; though the strait by no means led to Europe, as geographers thought. All night a hard gale drove them northward.
The wind still blew a gale, and the pinnace pitched heavily; but the sun was now beginning to break through the masses of lurid cloud, and the air was becoming less and less charged with vapor. "I can descry nothing either," said Becker; "and yet this is the direction the storm must have driven the sloop." "The sea is very capricious," suggested Fritz.
When they entered the second salon, the Nabob walked forward to meet her, expecting to descry in her wake the bloated face of his old comrade, to whom it was agreed that he should offer his hand. The baroness saw him coming and became whiter than ever. A steely gleam shot from under her long lashes.
And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem unto this day. And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Bethel: and the LORD was with them. And the house of Joseph sent to descry Bethel.
Thence he re-issued with his dress modified for the saddle, and the two friends awaited their mounts under an arch. "Dost perceive, Frederic," said the facetious Hilary, "yon modestly arrayed pair of palpable gents hieing hitherward yet pretending not to descry us? They be detectives. Oh eh gentlemen!" The strangers halted inquiringly and then came forward.
It is the "Old Manse" made immortal by the genius of Hawthorne. Near by, an interesting road intersects leading to a river. Soon we descry a granite monument at the famous bridge, and across the bridge "The Minute Man." The inscription on the monument informs us that here the first British soldier fell.
