Though he saw them only fugitively through gaps in the tide of traffic, he felt their companionship. He would always feel it the fine, shared courage of men out of sight, who had adventured for an ideal as his companions. He crossed the top of Whitehall, passed beneath the Admiralty Arch and entered the garnished, graveled, tree-bordered spaciousness of the Mall.
"I have heard of your political writings, but not of your musical compositions," said Burr; the last half of the speech being true. "Nor have I had the good fortune to read the poems of Madam Blennerhassett. Are they in print?" "Some have been published, fugitively; the most of them remain in manuscript."
They hung in the sky above like great pendulous jewels, palpitant with interior name there were purple stars, and blue stars, and orange-colored stars; some resembled monstrous amethysts, some emeralds fierily green, some rubies spitting sparks vindictively red; others globular sheeny pearls, creamy of lustre but shot with faint gleams of rose; and fugitively sprinkling the firmament here and there were orbs that glistened like diamonds, wonderfully and purely white.
This is continually apparent in "The Lover" and "Sweetheart," fugitively so in the "Prologue," and, in an irresistible degree, in the exceedingly poetic and deeply felt "Epilogue" one of the most typical and beautiful of MacDowell's smaller works.
She had seen him several times in these last days, but only at evening, fugitively, when he came in the boat with the fishermen. He was stronger now. He had saluted her eagerly. She had spoken to him from the shore. But he had not landed again on the island. She felt as if she saw his bright and beaming eyes. And Ruffo would he be happy? She hoped so. She wanted him to be happy.
He thought he would not soon forget their beauty the shadow of pain that had been, the hope dawning so fugitively. "Dear lady," said Gale, with voice not wholly steady, "Rojas himself will hound you no more to-night, nor for many nights." She seemed to shake, to thrill, to rise with the intelligence. She pressed his hand close over her heaving breast. Gale felt the quick throb of her heart.
Along the ocean, where crevices of the descending iron-chiselled cliffs are fugitively green with ribbons of pale grass, downy-winged ducks purr, mating guillemots coo incessantly, and tremulous oogzooks chirrup joyously to their young. As the natives listened, a deep nasal bellowing from the far ocean trembled in the air. Not a man stirred. The sound vibrated into silence. The auks screamed.
It seemed to her as if she and Eliot had drawn nearer to each other during their talk together on the deserted railway platform as though some intangible barrier between them had been broken down. She could not put into actual words the thought which flitted fugitively through her mind it was too vague and indeterminate.
As Nan replied conventionally to Lady Gertrude's greeting, some such thoughts as these flashed fugitively through her mind, and with them came a rather tender, girlish determination, to make the transition as easy as possible to the elder woman when the time came for it. The situation made a quick appeal to her eager sympathies.
But for all that it was romance, seized fugitively, and life at that moment threw itself into a decorative pattern fit to be remembered. It is the same effect which you get more constantly in Spain, so that the commonest things are transfigured into beauty.
