His thoughts, his emotions, his actions, are no more his own than the action of a windmill's sails or the antics of scraps of paper gyrating at a windy corner. The first license to men to construct a religion is a license given them by reason to admit the proposition that the individual will is free.
Immediately below Miles Canon itself are the Squaw Rapids, where the torrent spills itself over a confusion of boulders, bursting into foam and gyrating in dizzy whirlpools, its surface broken by explosions of spray or pitted by devouring vortices resembling the oily mouths of marine monsters. Below this, in turn, is the White Horse, worst of all.
'Yes, and about the dog-whip. 'Skilly! Sounds as if it might be what she hit the policeman with. Mrs. Fox-Moore was again pausing to look back. 'That gyrating female is more what I expected them all to be. 'Yes; but just listen to that. 'To what? 'Why, the way they're applauding her. 'Yes, they positively revel in the creature! It was a long, tiresome business this worming their way out.
It was with a grunt of disgust that he saw it wind and twirl toward the white surface below. Then it was, for the first time, that he saw the yellowish-white object huddled there on the ice waiting. "A bear!" he groaned, and instinctively reached for his automatic. But at that instant there came a fresh swoop of wind that set the plane gyrating more violently than ever.
The Master, quite unmindful of the quickening bloodstream down his face and neck, looked sharply as if impersonally interested in some problem of ballistics at the spinning, gyrating figure that with grotesque contortions plummeted the depths. Over and over, whirling with outflung arms and legs, dropped the stowaway. Down though Nissr herself was plunging, he fell faster.
I could feel her rushing, gyrating and plunging. Now she would twist to avoid a collision. Now she would rise to the surface, then sink to the bottom of the lagoon. Can any one conceive such a struggle as that in which, like two marine monsters, these machines were engaged in beneath the troubled waters of this inland lake?
A lasso was then thrown over the neck of a mule, when he would immediately go to the length of his tether, first one end, then the other in the air. While he was thus plunging and gyrating, another lasso would be thrown by another Mexican, catching the animal by a fore-foot.
Great streams of lava poured down out of the air, and masses of opaque matter plunged into the sea all about the falukah. Scalding mud, stones, hail, fell upon the deck. And still the fishing-boat, gyrating like a leaf, remained afloat with its crew of half-crazed Arabs.
A carved bird or beast at a corner seemed like some vast walking or flying dragon wasting the pastures and villages below. The whole atmosphere was dizzy and dangerous, as if men were upheld in air amid the gyrating wings of colossal genii; and the whole of that old church, as tall and rich as a cathedral, seemed to sit upon the sunlit country like a cloudburst.
The music stopped and the ever-watchful Pantalon bore down upon them. Abandoning Jinny to her fate, Ryder sought refuge and a cigarette. The hall was crowded now; the ball was a flash of color, a whirl of satins and spangles and tulle and gauze, gold and green and rose and sapphire, gyrating madly in vivid projection against the black and white stripes of the Moorish walls.
