"'The portrait, then, is now in your nephew's possession? he at last inquired. "'My nephew's! No, no! He tried it, but could stand it no better than your humble servant. Assuredly the spirit of the old usurer has transmigrated into the picture. My nephew declares that he walks out of the frame, glides about the room; in short the things he tells me, pass human understanding and belief.
In an instant the captain has ordered the sails to be furled, and the anchor dropped from the stern. One moment of terrible anxiety, and all is well. The "Chancellor" tacks to stern, and glides back into the basin, which is once more her prison. "Well, captain," says the boatswain, "what's to be done now?" "I don't know" said Curtis, "but we shall get across somehow." NOVEMBER 21st to 24th.
Much of Don Juan is as obnoxious to criticism in detail as his earlier work; it has every mark of being written in hot haste. His command over the verse itself is almost miraculous: he glides from extreme to extreme, from punning to pathos, from melancholy to mad merriment, sighing or laughing by the way at his readers or at himself or at the stanzas.
It is only on the ice that Dutch women appear light-heeled. Some attain a marvellous perfection. Those who have seen them say that it is impossible to imagine the grace of movement, the bows, the glides, the thousand pretty delicate arts that are displayed. They fly and return like swallows and butterflies, and in this exercise they grow animated and their placid beauty is transformed.
Ann's beguiling of the Junker, the homage paid to her by all, even the highest, Herdegen's seething ire, his strivings to win back the favor of the maid he had slighted, his strange and various and high-handed demeanor, his shameless ways with Ursula, to whom he paid great court when my grand-uncle was present, albeit at other times he would cast dark glances at her as if she were a foe all this glides past me as in a mist, and concerning me but little.
"She glides Into his darker musings with a mild And gentle sympathy, that steals away Their sharpness ere he is aware?"
Then he gets up a good rate of speed, points the nose of the 'plane down at a sharp angle to the ground, cuts off the engine, and glides. The angle of the fall must be great enough for the force of gravity to keep up the speed. There is a minimum speed at which an airplane will remain subject to control.
It seems to me so natural that a man, in the earlier struggle between love and reason, should say, 'Reason shall conquer, and has conquered; and yet and yet as time glides on, feel that the conquerors who cannot put down rebellion have a very uneasy reign. Answer me not as at Moleswich, during the first struggle, but now, in the after-day, when reaction from struggle comes."
Now she comes up into the wind, and goes about with a strong flapping of the sails, smiting on the ear at a half-mile's distance; then she glides off on the other tack, showing the shadowed side of her sails, until she reaches the distant zone of haze. So change the sonnets after Laura's death, growing shadowy as they recede, until the very last seems to merge itself in the blue distance.
Not, be it noted, melody proper, which is the very truest expression of the human soul; not the melody that was known to the great Germans, but "naked, ear-tickling, absolute melodic melody; melody which is nothing but melody; which glides into our ears we know not why; which we sing again we know not why; which to-day we exchange for that of yesterday, and forget to-morrow still we know not why; which is sad when we are gay, merry when we are sorrowful, and which we yet hum just because we know not why."
