She imagined that across these richly carved entrance-ways, where the globed and crystalled lamps shone upon paneled doors set with stained and designed panes of glass, was neither care nor unsatisfied desire. She was perfectly certain that here was happiness.
For the first time he noticed that little verdant cabochons of folded leaf had globed themselves on the lilac bushes below the window, crocuses had budded, and in the garden beds had shot up the pushing spikes of bulbs, while in the sooty grass he could see specks and patches of vivid green, the first growth of the year. He opened the window and strolled out.
Bribery, blackmail, the press, and all other forces are against me, but I shall win." He rose at length to a finer mood as he sketched the plan which he hoped to set in action. She looked at him with expanding eyes and quickened breath. A globed light each soft eye seemed to him.
We may linger with Ruth "sick for home amid the alien corn." We may gaze, awed and hushed, at the dead, cold, little, mountain-built town, "emptied of its folks" We may "glut our sorrow on the morning rose, or on the wealth of globed Peonies." We may "imprison our mistress's soft hand, and gaze, deep, deep, within her peerless eyes."
His health is not strong, never since that fall. There; you have all I know, Captain Leezur." Captain Leezur meditated. The sun saw itself globed in a tear that fell on Captain Leezur's felts. "Moderation in all things, ye know," he added, beaming, not to distress me; "even in passnips." I mused with him in silent sympathy.

Her little, high-bridged nose stood up from the softness, clear and young, firm as ivory. The globed light showed like a ball of fire, hung out in the garden, on the black, glassy darkness, behind the pane.
"'No sail from day to day, but every day The sunrise broken into scarlet shafts Among the palms and ferns and precipices; The blaze upon the waters to the east; The blaze upon his island overhead; The blaze upon the waters to the west; Then the great stars that globed themselves in Heaven, The hollower-bellowing ocean, and again The scarlet shafts of sunrise but no sail."
That night we made a good lee, and lay in a pool of stars, very tranquil and alive with travelling lights, great globed fishes filled with soft radiance, and dreaming glimmers and pulsating tremors of glory and sudden errands of fire. Sailor and I stayed up quite late watching the wonder in which we so spaciously floated, and of the two of us, I am sure that Sailor knew more than I.
Lover and friend came to no conclusion, except that so lovely a night was not given for slumber. A small round brilliant moon hung almost globed in the depths of heaven, and the image of it fell deep between San Giorgio and the Dogana. Renee had the scene from her window, like a dream given out of sleep.
Men have indeed been brought into being on this condition, that they should guard the globe which you see in the midst of this temple, which is called the earth; and a soul has been given to them from those eternal fires which you call constellations and stars, which, globed and round, animated with god- derived minds, complete their courses and move through their orbits with amazing speed.
