As to finding our way back, we could light small fires at intervals, which would serve as guide-posts." "And betray us to the enemy." "But I shouldn't undertake it unless we discover that the course is clear. I don't believe these natives ever keep watch by night; we have seen no sign of them at night since they tried to burn us.
For post-offices, they used the bleached buffalo-skulls found on the prairie, which, after the letters were placed inside, they suspended from the limbs of trees along the route. For guide-posts and to indicate their camping-places, they painted on the bald fronts of other buffalo-skulls the date and number of miles they had made.
Not until the architect represented that it was unworthy of a Didymus to expose to bestial violence a life on which helpless women and the whole world to whom his writings were guide-posts to the realms of truth possessed a claim, could he be induced to yield.
Later on one sees in them only footsteps to self-knowledge, guide-posts to the problem which we ourselves ARE or more correctly to the great stupidity which we embody, our spiritual fate, the UNTEACHABLE in us, quite "down below."
Suggestion with its phantom guide-posts leads us through its varied mazes to the dwelling-place of mystery. Here the artist will do well to tarry and learn all the oracle may teach him. The positive light of day passes to the twilight of the moon and stars. What things may be seen and forms created out of the simple mystery of twilight!
There were the mountains conveniently arranged, with pleasant trails running up all of them, carefully marked with rustic but legible guide-posts; and there was the sea comfortably besprinkled with islands, among which one might sail around and about, day after day, not to go anywhere, but just to enjoy the motion and the views; and there were cod and haddock swimming over the outer ledges in deep water, waiting to be fed with clams at any time, and on fortunate days ridiculously accommodating in letting themselves be pulled up at the end of a long, thick string with a pound of lead and two hooks tied to it.
From the high point where Bobby lay the road could be seen to fall, by short rises and long descents, all the way to Edinburgh. From its crested ridge and flanking hills the city trailed a dusky banner of smoke out over the fishing fleet in the Firth. A little dog cannot see such distant views. Bobby could only read and follow the guide-posts of odors along the way.
That was all, but it was enough. Lewis Hall's face suddenly sobered. He had not stumbled along behind her in all her emotional experiences without learning to read the guide-posts to her thought. "I hope she'll get through with it soon," he said to himself, with a worried frown; "it isn't wholesome for a mind like 'Thalia's to dwell on this kind of thing."
Judah was like a man standing at the cross-roads, on a stormy night, with all the guide-posts blown down. Meantime the Babylonian foe was closing in around Jerusalem, and it was necessary to do something, or die. The liberty of choice was an embarrassment.
Grettel could not think of a suggestion, and she contented herself with saying in a critical tone, "Oh, Hansel!" "It might be that we ought to find some other road," said Everychild. "You know this is called the Road of Troubled Children." "I am told," said the giant, speaking for the first time, "that if you watch for the guide-posts it presently turns into the Road of Happy Children."
