Their thuds on the floor, their sordid swarming, their inexplicable daring all gave a kind of minor current of diablerie to the rush and hurry of the stormy night; for they seemed to speak and the creatures which on shore are odious appeared to be quite in place in the soaring groaning vessel.
At times the bray of trumpets and the roll of drums great and small shook the air, and smothered every rival sound. And where the dervishes came, in their passage from group to group, the excitement arose out of bounds, while their dancing lent diablerie to the scene. Assuredly there was enough in what they beheld to sink the spirit of the besieged, even the boldest of them.
Short as the poem is, there is in it character, humour, pathos, satire, indignation, tenderness, fun, frolic, diablerie, almost every human feeling. I have heard Burns in the writing of this poem likened to a composer at an organ improvising a piece of music in which, before he has done, he has used every stop and touched every note on the keyboard.
Again there came into view the white and scarlet of the picture, the high light on the bare shoulder, the warm tint of the naked arm, the cheap diablerie of the posture, the splendid rebellion of the face. Regnault turned and stared at it under drawn brows. "Thank you, Emile," he said at last, and lay back on his pillow.
"Mais il y en a des mauvaises," I deprecated. "Meme les mauvaises," he insisted, "Oui, surtout les mauvaises!" But Sentant is unique. I can only say that as I sat sniffing on the deck of the Kawa there was about us a soupcon of the je-ne-sais-quoi tropicale, half nostalgie, half diablerie. It was ... but what's the use? You will have to go out there some time and smell it for yourself.
There was a live snake, upraised, his fangs striking out viciously a rattler! I would have drawn back and fled, but Craig caught my arm. "Caged," he whispered monosyllabically. I shuddered. This, at least, was no drawing-room diablerie. "It is Ophis," intoned Rapport, "the Serpent the one active form in Nature that cannot be ungraceful!"
O the piquante, golden-haired beauty, adorably white and subtle, the dazzling shoulders, the coquettish play of the lorgnette, the wit, the daring, the diablerie. "So it's a no, a contradiction, the first word I hear of yours. So this is you. Yes, yes, it is even thus I pictured you." She is rising to beg the hostess to introduce them, but he places his hand gently on her arm. "Why?
"The Lay of the Last Minstrel" was published in the first week of 1805, and its success at once decided that literature should form the main business of Scott's life. Its design arose originally from the suggestion of the lovely Countess of Dalkeith, who had heard a wild, rude legend of Border diablerie, and sportively asked him to make it the subject of a ballad.
"Et cependant avec toute sa diablerie, Il faut que je l'appelle et mon coeur et ma mie." Our heroine was still meditating upon the extraordinary method by which Emma had acquired power over her husband, when a carriage drove down the lane, and Mr. Bolingbroke's head appeared looking out of the chaise window.
The composition was infinitely daring; for out of this shadow shone the great black eyes, their diablerie most cunningly insinuated; whilst with a brilliant exclusion of detail by means of two strokes of the brush steeped in brightest vermilion, and one seemingly haphazard splash of dead white an evil and abandoned smile was made to greet the spectator.
