And it was not till long after the impression had begun to wear away, that I was enabled, with something like a smile, to recall the striking incongruity of the confession understanding the term in its worldly acceptation with the frame and physiognomy of the person before me. His brow would have scared away the Levities the Jocos Risus-que faster than the Loves fled the face of Dis at Enna.
At midday, when all was still, and a warm haze seemed to repose on the face of the landscape, I have often fancied this celestial voice bewailing Proserpine, in the most pathetic accents. From these sacred moments I resolved to offer sacrifice in the fields of Enna; to explore their fragrant recesses, and experience whether the Divinity would not manifest herself to me in her favourite domain.
It was Sabbath morning, and Elsie, ready dressed for church, stood in the portico waiting for her father to come down and lift her into the carriage, in which Adelaide, Louisa, and Enna were already seated. The coachman was in his seat, and the horses, a pair of young and fiery steeds purchased by Mr.
For such was his moderation to all with whom he had anything to do, and such his benignity also to many cities and private men, that, if anything hard or severe was decreed concerning the people of Enna, Megara, or Syracuse, the blame was thought to belong rather to those upon whom the storm fell, than to those who brought it upon them. One example of many I will commemorate.
"She left us a moment since, but did not say where she was going," said Rose. "I presume you'll find her crying in her boudoir or dressing room," added Enna. "Crying! Why, what is wrong with her?" "Nothing that I know of, except that I told her of Herbert Carrington's being so much worse that they've taken him North as a last hope." "Is that so?" and Mr. Dinsmore looked much concerned.
I have suspected, for some time past, that Elsie had a good deal to bear from Arthur and Enna to say nothing of an older person, to whom Enna is continually carrying tales.
"No man shall ever rule me so. If papa should undertake to give me such an order, I'd just inform him that my hair was my own, and I should arrange it as suited my own fancy." "I think you are making yourself out worse than you really are, Enna," said Elsie gravely. "I am sure you could never say anything so extremely impertinent as that to grandpa." "Impertinent!
Hang going down to the orchard to smoke! He meant to take his wife to New York. The village drew its breath and watched. Did Persephone, snatched from the warm fields of Enna, peer half-consentingly down the abyss that opened at her feet? Paulina, it must be owned, hung a moment over the black gulf of temptation.
"How disappointment tracks The steps of hope!" One afternoon, the next week after the Carringtons had left, the younger members of the family, Arthur, Elsie, Walter and Enna, were setting out to take a walk, when Elsie, seeing a gold chain depending from the pocket of Arthur's jacket, exclaimed: "O Arthur! how could you take grandpa's watch?
I hope I was able to give you as much pleasure as you gave me, and if you are going to be here long enough, I'd appreciate the opportunity to feed from you again. "Affectionately, "Enna" It was odd thinking of himself as a delicious meal, but Thompson found it tickled him; sure, he'd feed her again if he and his team were here long enough.
