Brace did not once turn his head to the right so as to see there was no need to do so, for he was conscious of the ever-nearing presence of a glassy descending sheet dimly seen through a dense cloud of mist, which glittered and flashed, and as it rose, rolling over and over like the smoke from a slow fire, it emitted colours of the most brilliant hues glorious refulgent colours, reflections of the sunshine, while with ever-increasing force there came that dull awful roar.
Like a dark-browed Yotun woman wooing the latent giant in me, the night pressed down. I closed my eyes, and through me ran the sensuous surface fires of her dream-wrought limbs. Upon my face the weird magnetic lure of ever-nearing, never-kissing lips made soundless music.
But for the time there was nothing to keep John Derringham in England, and with intense reluctance he started for Italy, the ever-nearing date for his wedding looming in front of him like some heavy cloud. He had plunged headlong into work when he had returned from Wendover, for which he was still quite unfit.
They had learned by the ever-nearing roar of the cannon that progress was being made, and for the past four days had from elevated points near the town been able to make out the movements of our troops on the positions they had captured. They had seen the Boers breaking up their camps, carrying off their stores either by waggon across the western passes or by the trains from Modder Spruit.
Eye-restful solace came however with the sight of the ever-nearing glorious sun-crowned peaks of the mighty "Rockies," sharply silhouetted against the dazzling blue of the sky. Children's voices behind him suddenly broke in upon his reverie. "That man!" said a small squeaking treble, "was a hobo.
Galloping forward, eyes upon the ever-nearing canyon, he at length became grimly conscious of approaching defeat of the firm and ruthless closing in upon him from either side of the two bands.
And still the brown arms spin in an ever-nearing mist of spray; and the outer sand-bar is not far off, and there is shouting Mateo, leaping in the surf, swinging something about his head, as a vaquero swings his noose! ... Sough! splash! it struggles in the trough beside Feliu, and the sinewy hand descends upon it. Tiene! tira, Miguel! And their feet touch land again! ...
"Nothing," he said "I just happened to think of something. Something that frightened me." "What was it?" "I was thinking, dear suppose I should become domestic!" She had been reading in the little cabin, and a hush had fallen upon them. "Yes, thou art gone! And round me too the night In ever-nearing circle weaves her shade." "Gone!" she said, and smiled sadly. "Where is he gone?"
Like Ulysses' companions in the cave of Polyphemus, the only question among them is, to scramble so far back as to have a chance of being eaten at last. Before them is ever-nearing slavery, disease, and starvation. What can be done? First this can be done. That no man who calls himself a Christian no man who calls himself a man shall ever disgrace himself by dealing at any show-shop or slop-shop.
Affrighted, the Marquis sought again for words, and he glanced at his torturer timidly, like the hare on the ever-nearing hounds. Why did she pursue him, he asked, in this terrible way? Had she gone mad? What was he to say? He had not the courage to answer no to her face. Besides, if Violet would not have him, he might as well save the family estates. If Violet refused him!
