In a strange contradiction with its own bloody deeds, it celebrated the last day of its existence by a law which, as a farewell to the thousand corpses it had sacrificed to the revolution, it had printed on its gory brow.
Week by week these losses grew less, until they finally shrunk into the hundreds, but the vivid descriptions of the gory conflict were not toned down during the whole summer. We received our mail at Yamhill only once a week, and then had to bring it from Portland, Oregon, by express.
One of the Spaniards sank to the deck, covered with wounds and exhausted with blood, while the victor, who, from the gory condition of his linen, his pallid cheeks, and staggering steps seemed in little better plight, was assisted into the cabin by his companions.
Inez, thy daughter has avenged thy murder! May Heaven accept the sacrifice! and may my eyes, even athwart the fiery gulf, awaken upon thee!" With that a serene and contented smile passed over the face on which the crowd gazed with breathless awe. A minute more, and a groan, a cry, broke from that countless multitude; and a gory and ghastly head, severed from its trunk, was raised on high.
I remember when you said that Biggs's nieces were at the bottom of your troubles, I asked whether it might be this one." "So you did, old chap; and I replied that I hoped not. So you need not shake your gory locks at me, my boy." "But I don't like the looks of it." "Neither do I." "Yes, but you see it looks as though she had been already set apart for you especially."
His golden dream was at an end. He was lying along the sward, upon his side, half doubled up. I could not see his face. His hands were over it, with palms spread out as if shading his eyes from the sun! It was a position of ordinary repose; and one might have fancied him asleep. But the gory crown, and red mottling upon the shirt seemingly still wet forbade the supposition.
"As a lordly tusker tramples on a field of feeble reeds, As a forest conflagration on the parched woodland feeds, Bhishma rode upon the warriors in his mighty battle car. God nor mortal chief could face him in the gory field of war." * * The quotations are from Mr. Romesh Dutt's translation.
Vanity Fair. Well! Winnebago was almost grateful for this final and most picturesque gesture of Gideon Gory the second. The widowed Leyden did not even take the trouble personally to superintend the selling of the Gory place on the river bluff.
This was a state of things which continued for many minutes, and then the body showed evident symptoms of so much returning animation, that it was about to rise from his gory bed and mingle once again with the living. "Behold!" said Marchdale "behold!" "Heaven have mercy upon us!" "It is as I said; the beams of the moon have revived the vampyre. You perceive now that there can be no doubt."
Already the king had bowed his head to the fatal knife. Already the threat had gone forth that a mere breath of suspicion or a pointed finger might be enough to lead men and women to a gory death. In her quiet home near Caen Charlotte Corday heard as from afar the story of this dreadful saturnalia of assassination which was making Paris a city of bloody mist.
