Perhaps before his eyes the historic vision of the road had risen: that crowded pageant, brute and human, all whose red passions, burning rights and burning wrongs, frenzied fightings and awful deaths had left but the sun-scarred dust, the silence of the woods clothing itself in green.
"I weep because thou must be long time absent from me." "Perish all these fightings and troubles!" "They will cause many to perish, and me most miserably of all." "Art thou going a journey from me, my father?" "Aye, and thou also hast a journey to make." "Must I make it alone, or with my mother?" "Alone; neither father nor mother may be with thee." "Sendest thou me to dwell elsewhere?"
And now, drawing her to my heart, I told her much of Sir Richard's indomitable spirit and bravery, how in my blind haste I would march him until he sank swooning by the way, of our fightings and sufferings and he ever serene and undismayed.
It is curious that when Upweekis and his hunting pack pull down game in this way the first thing they do is to fight over it. There may be meat enough and to spare, but under their fearful hunger is the old beastly instinct for each one to grab all for himself; so they fall promptly to teeth and claws before the game is dead. The fightings at such times are savage affairs, both to the eye and ear.
"Fret not," she sings, as she soothingly pats its fevered forehead. "Worry not; weep no more. Let be your strugglings and grabbings and fightings; forget a while, sleep a while." It was the Kojagar full moon, and I was slowly pacing the riverside conversing with myself. It could hardly be called a conversation, as I was doing all the talking and my imaginary companion all the listening.
"With her, however, it was altogether different. She seemed to herself as if she had awakened out of a dream. Her fightings with her young neighbor had been the beginnings of an affection; and this violent antagonism was no more than an equally violent innate passion for him, first showing under the form of opposition. She could remember nothing else than that she had always loved him.
So of the coming of peace on earth we may say the same: it will be the fruit of the entrance of peace into individual hearts and lives. A world at war is the necessary result of human restlessness and enmities. "From whence come wars and fightings among you? Come they not hence, even of your lusts, that war in your members?"
Pass on to what will happen in Egypt, before the spirit leaves you." "There will be war in Egypt," she answered. "I see fightings; Shabaka and others lead the Egyptians. The Easterns are driven away or slain. Peroa rules as Pharaoh, I see him on his throne. Shabaka is driven away in his turn, I see him travelling south with the dwarf and with myself, looking very sad. Time passes.
Gradually the fire died away, and nearer and nearer their dreadful enemies approached, until they came to the carcass of the dead wolf, which they tore into pieces and devoured, amidst frightful growlings and fightings. When nothing but the bare bones were left, they surrounded the tree in whose friendly branches the children had taken refuge, and kept up a continued howl through the night.
"I weep because thou must be long time absent from me." "Perish all these fightings and troubles!" "They will cause many to perish, and me most miserably of all." "Art thou going a journey from me, my father?" "Aye, and thou also hast a journey to make." "Must I make it alone, or with my mother?" "Alone; neither father nor mother may be with thee." "Sendest thou me to dwell elsewhere?"
