It pitched its tent what else could it do, seeing that municipal ineptitude provided no building wherein could be run chariot races of six horses abreast? But the tent, in my youthful eyes, confused by the naphtha glares and the violent shadows cast on the many tiers of pink faces, loomed as vast as a Roman amphitheatre.
The world is brimful of walking morals on that subject, and if one will not read the lesson of the life of his next-door neighbor, what use of bringing Lazarus from the dead to warn him of a perdition that glares at him out of the eyes of so many men?
But he wandered through the world and told stories; though they are not so merry as the one he told about the matches. The Snow-man Translated from the German of Hans Andersen. 'How astonishingly cold it is! My body is cracking all over! said the Snow-man. 'The wind is really cutting one's very life out! And how that fiery thing up there glares! He meant the sun, which was just setting.
The night came on, the gas-lamps were lighted, and some lights higher up, like moonlight off on the other paths, projected long glares into the night and made the gas look sickly and yellow. Sitting still there while it grew later, he did not feel quite so hungry, but he felt more tired than ever.
We are slowing down; the road is getting water-logged and full of holes. The skull of a dead town grows up on the horizon. Even at this distance the light behind empty windows glares malevolently like the nothingness in vacant sockets. A horror is over everything. The horror is not so much due to the destruction as to the total absence of any signs of life.
There are several niches in the chapel which contain very fine candelebra, and on a bas-relief the funeral procession to St. Denis is represented. The stranger cannot, if he would, shut out the fact from his sight. It glares in upon him from every street. The revolutions of France have imprinted themselves upon Paris in ineffaceable characters.
"My friend the boaster steps forward with the air Napoleonic! He sticks out his breast like this; he shortens his neck, like this; he frowns his brows; he glares at them a terrible look; he cries: 'I am of the Canadian blood!" "And what does he do next, gentlemen?" Zotique paused a moment. "Runs for his life!" The roar that followed shook the apartment. Zotique stopped it.
It is true that had his gifts, such as they were, been acknowledged in his life-time, he would never have made the bargain I saw him make that strange bargain whose results have kept him always in the foreground of my memory. But it is from those very results that the full piteousness of him glares out. Not my compassion, however, impels me to write of him.
I was afraid Doris Leighton would get it, but you ought to have had Honorable Mention. Griffin's isn't half so good as yours; she said so herself. Can you see what their canvases are like? I'm just so that the light glares on them for me. What's that he's saying now? He's talking about your study."
If Matvey stands still, Seryozhka asks him angrily why he does not go; if he moves, Seryozhka shouts to him not to go away but to do his work. He is not satisfied with his tools, with the weather, or with his own talent; nothing pleases him. Matvey saws out a great piece of ice for a lectern. "Why have you broken off the corner?" cries Seryozhka, and glares at him furiously.
