What with the pressure on my spirits, the eldritch cries of the wind among the turret-tops, and the perpetual trepidation of the masoned house, sleep fled my eyelids utterly.
And even as I glide through it now, on the railroad that has laid its still depths open to the sun's glare and scared its silence with the eldritch snort and shriek of the iron team, I have visions of Undine and Sintram, the Elves, the little dog Stromian, the Wood-Witch, and all the world of supernatural beauty and terror which then peopled its recesses for me, under the influence of the German literature that I was becoming acquainted with through the medium of French and English translations, and that was carrying me on its tide of powerful enchantment far away from the stately French classics of my school studies.
Ravens ravening by night, poised peregrines by day, provision-merchants for the dispensing of dainty scraps to tickle the ears, to arm the tongues, to explode reputations, those great ladies, the Ladies Endor, Eldritch, and Cowry, fateful three of their period, avenged and scourged both innocence and naughtiness; innocence, on the whole, the least, when their withering suspicion of it had hunted the unhappy thing to the bank of Ophelia's ditch.
"'A hit a hit a very palpable hit!" she quoted, clapping her hands in her glee. "Were not witches an eldritch race," said Shakespeare, "you, mistress, might well lie under grave suspicion." "What what! Do I not fit the wizened stamp of Macbeth's sisters three?" Shakespeare flung out his arms with a gesture of despair. "Yet more and deeper mystery!" he cried.
He carried no torch, but a long stave with which he belaboured the heads of those who were too tightly packed to flee. It was the most eldritch apparition you can conceive. A tall man dressed in skins, with bare legs and sandal-shod feet.
If ye see the laird, tell him what ye hear; tell him this makes the twelve hunner and nineteen time that Jennet Clouston has called down the curse on him and his house, byre and stable, man, guest, and master, wife, miss, or bairn black, black be their fall!" And the woman, whose voice had risen to a kind of eldritch sing-song, turned with a skip, and was gone.
The people are tired of you tired of bad harvests, ill-luck, sickness, and continued poverty. You are the cause of all our miseries, and we have resolved you shall not stay among us. Go quickly, take the blight and pestilence of your presence elsewhere! Go! or if you will not " "We shall burn, burn, burn, and utterly destroy!" interrupted Lovisa, with a sort of eldritch shriek.
'I thought as I came alang I had a sort of a feeling as of a wraith nigh about me a lang, eldritch sort o' a form i' the mist. His host shuddered, looked through the window apprehensively in the gloaming, saw some vague, misty wraith approaching. Then he felt for the aureus in his waistcoat pocket. 'Oot wi' it, the doctor demanded, and 'oot' it came after a struggle.
"D the sogers!" cries the Moocher, moved by a sudden inspiration. "They can but shoot yer, and that's as good as dyin' of typhus anyway!" The right chord had been struck now, and with a stifled roar the prison admitted the truth of the sentiment. "Go on, old man!" cries Jemmy Vetch to the giant, rubbing his thin hands with eldritch glee. "They're all right!"
He threw himself wearily upon the grass, not heeding that he had chosen his couch within a little mossy circle known as a "fairy's ring." Wild Robin knew that the country people would say the fays had pressed that green circle with their light feet. He had heard all the Scottish lore of brownies, elves, will-o'-the-wisps, and the strange water-kelpies, who shriek with eldritch laughter.
