Now I feel as I approach the consummation of ha of what ay, of what? Brother, did you ever, when you thought yourself quite alone, at night, not a breath stirring, did you ever raise your eyes, and see exactly opposite to you a devil? a dread thing, that moves not, speaks not, but glares upon you with a fixed, dead, unrelenting eye? that thing is before me now and witnesses every word I write.
Death is before them, but not with a merciful quickness does he approach; hour after hour the frightful vision glares upon them, and at length disappears only to come upon them again in a more dreadful form. The tempest abates, and the sinners were spared for the time. As the daylight broke they took to their boats, and abandoned the vessel to preserve their lives.
It lighted up the south-western sky; then there were two other glares nearer to me, seemingly divided by a lump of something, perhaps a grove of trees. Walking very fast I soon overtook a man. I knew him at once by his staggering gait. "Ah, landlord!" said I; "whither bound?" "To Rhiwabon," said he, huskily, "for a pint." "Is the ale so good at Rhiwabon," said I, "that you leave home for it?"
All eyes flashed towards Morris. The latter, as the significance of the question came home to him, went even a sicklier white, like the belly of a dead fish. His eyes moved swiftly about the circle of his posse. Their answering glares were sternly forbidding. "Out with it!" commanded Dan. The sheriff strove mightily to speak, but only a ghastly whisper came: "You got the wrong tip, Dan.
See how that chief's eye glares. Observe the murderous leer of the one beside him. Notice how they mock and insult us to our very faces. Now, how awfully jubilant their tones, as if they had us at their mercy.
An excess in this point is not without the reproach of cruelty and inhumanity: if it shows less ferocity than ravage and destruction, it glares with avarice." "If an exile or banished man is driven from his country for any crime, it does not belong to the nation in which he has taken refuge to punish him for a fault committed in a foreign country.
The people looking in add insult to injury by indulging in an audible snicker, as Ching-We springs up and glares savagely into their faces.
I go to 'functions' once in a while, and if I dance twice with a pretty girl who has no dot, mother glares at me, and says I've no family pride. Most of the girls talk silly nonsense that wearies a fellow, and the more passé they are the worse they gush. The only thing I really enjoy that is respectable is yachting, and then I have trouble to find good fellows who have time to go with me.
The brilliant disc fired all the waves that lay between it and the shore at the bottom of the grounds, where the water tossed the ruddy light from one undulation to another in glares as large and clear as mirrors, incessantly altering them, destroying them, and creating them again; while further off they multiplied, thickened, and ran into one another like struggling armies, till they met the fiery source of them all.
He heeds it not, but smites down the foe in front. Then he turns and, whirling the Watcher on high, brings him down for the last time, and so mightily that the man before him is crushed like an egg. Galazi brushes the blood from his eyes and glares round on the dead. "All! Slaughterer," he cries.
