Compared to the big-brained, eagle-eyed men who had come from the West and mastered Wall Street, Van Meter was really a pygmy. He greeted Gordon politely. "Delighted to welcome you, Doctor, to my office. This is the first call you have ever honoured me with downtown." "I've been to your home often, Deacon." "But somehow you've always been shy of Wall Street," said Van Meter, expansively.
Next I thought of the gray, eagle-eyed old soldier, with his ruined tower and barren acres, and saw before me his proud, prejudiced, chivalrous boyhood, gliding through the ruins or poring over the mouldy pedigree. And this son, so disowned, for what dark offence? An awe crept over me.
If we take into account the numerous personal adherents whom the Imperial government, with all the faults of its chief, must have possessed and the political humiliation of France, in the eyes of all Europe, as well as of the French people themselves, immediately connected with the disappearance of Napoleon we shall have some faint conception of that mass of multifarious griefs and resentments, in the midst of which the unwieldy and inactive Louis occupied, ere long, a most unenviable throne and on which the eagle-eyed Exile of Elba gazed with reviving hope even before the summer of 1814 had reached its close.
For some days Avignon had its assassins, as Marseilles had had them, and as Nimes was about to have them; for some days all Avignon shuddered at the names of five men Pointu, Farges, Roquefort, Naudaud, and Magnan. Pointu was a perfect type of the men of the South, olive-skinned and eagle-eyed, with a hook nose, and teeth of ivory.
Each pressed a great toe, like a dark-skinned potato, on the seat in front of him for support in the fierce effort of rowing. Turbans were torn off shaved, perspiring heads, and even skull-caps went in the last extreme. Wild appeals were chanted to all the handiest saints to grant aid in the terrible undertaking. An eagle-eyed child at the steering wheel gazed pityingly at his agonized elders.
They loose the bands of nature harden the soul against sorrow they are the fruits of an eagle-eyed confidence. They enable the soul 'to see through the jaws of death to see Christ preparing mansion-houses for his poor ones that are now kicked to and fro, like footballs in the world! 'A desire will take a man upon its back and carry him away to God, if ten thousand men oppose it. 'It will carry him away after God to do his will, let the work be never so hard. The new man is subject to transient sickness, during which desire fails in its power when the inner man has caught a cold.
The lean, eagle-eyed, keen-faced Colonel bent lower in the saddle to reach the ear of the dismounted officer of Royal Engineers, who stood with one dogskin gloved hand resting on the sweating withers of the brown Waler. He answered, saluted, and drew away.
And Pitt, the greatest and, in a certain sense, the only British statesman who has ever managed people, parliament, government, navy, and army, all together, in a world-wide Imperial war Pitt, the eagle-eyed and lion-hearted, at once marked Wolfe down again for higher promotion and, this time, for the command of an army of his own.
Disquieting visions of harsh prison punishments were oppressing me when we reached the penitentiary and I was taken before the eagle-eyed old Civil War veteran who had given me my parole.
A parent can command this, you cannot; but you can make the use of good books, and the acquisition of knowledge not found in books, attractive and even necessary, and your ability to do this determines your real value as a teacher. Your work is to change your earth-loving moles into eagle-eyed and intelligent observers of all that is on, in, above, and under the earth." Mr.
