Need enough of a Belleisle: what a business we have made of it, since Friedrich trod on the serpent's tail for us.! Nothing but our own Freyburg to show for ourselves; elsewhere, mere down-rush of everything whitherward it liked; and King Friedrich got into such a humor!
But from the evidence at hand one is inclined to draw this conclusion: That in the Far East you have a great section of humanity in reserve; in a sense, in a backwater of evolution: nearer the Spirit, farther from the hot press and conflict of the material world; even in its times of highest activity, not in the van of the down-rush of Spirit into matter, as the western races have been in theirs; but held apart to perform a different function.
Nature's colors are good enough for me. It was the green heart of the canyon, where the walls swerved back from the rigid plan and relieved their harshness of line by making a little sheltered nook and filling it to the brim with sweetness and roundness and softness. Here all things rested. Even the narrow stream ceased its turbulent down-rush long enough to form a quiet pool.
Let Paul Peter Rubens wake from the dead, let him rise out of his cerements, and bring into this presence all the army of his fat women; the magian power or prophet-virtue gifting that slight rod of Moses, could, at one waft, release and re-mingle a sea spell-parted, whelming the heavy host with the down-rush of overthrown sea-ramparts.
The noises of the noiseless woods made themselves heard: the cry of a night hawk, the hooting of an owl, the whirring note of the whip-poor-will; the long, plunging down-rush of a dead branch breaking the boughs below it; even the snapping of twigs as if under the pressure of stealthy feet.
As it fell it would accumulate velocity and at the same time lose weight, and the momentum accumulated by its down-rush could be utilised by means of a shifting of its weights to drive it up in the air again as the balloons expanded.
"Keep an eye open for Garcia. He might make a fluke and shoot straight, for once in a way." They stood in silence on the wind-swept summit until the curving down-rush of the western grade had swallowed the retreating engine. Miss Alicia was the first to speak when the iron clamor was distance-drowned. "I like your Mr. Frisbie," she said reflectively.

From the spot where he stood, he could find his way unerringly to the Padal Pol the fortified entrance to the road of Seven Gates; the road that had witnessed, three times in three hundred years, that heroic alternative to surrender, the terrible rite of Johur: the final down-rush of every male defender, wearing the saffron robe and coronet of him who embraces death as a bride; the awful slaughter at the lowest gate, where they fell, every man of them, before the victors entered in....
What a down-rush of confusion there ensued on this event, not to Bavaria alone, but to all the world, and to King Friedrich more than another, no reader can now take the pains of conceiving. The "Frankfurt Union," then, has gone to air!
