The great melancholy of the land, attending him hauntingly, oppressed him with a sense of culpability. And he dared not ask himself wherein he deserved his good fortune above his countrymen, lest he seem to question the justice of the God of his adoption.
If I might dwell Where Israfel Hath dwelt, and he where I, He might not sing so wildly well A mortal melody, While a bolder note than his might swell From my lyre within the sky, and that where they have, they have perhaps risen a little higher, but never have sung more hauntingly and clear.
October first was a holiday at White Slides Ranch. It happened to be a glorious autumn day, with the sunlight streaming gold and amber over the grassy slopes. Far off the purple ranges loomed hauntingly. Wade had come down from Wilson Moore's cabin, his ears ringing with the crippled boy's words of poignant fear. Fox favored his master with unusually knowing gaze.
Long after he had left her, all down through the outlet to the Pass, the clinging clasp of her arms, the sweetness of her lips, and the sense of a new and exquisite birth of character in her remained hauntingly and thrillingly in his mind. The girl who had sadly called herself nameless and nothing had been marvelously transformed in the moment of his avowal of love.
Again he saw those shapes of cloud and wind flying over the long hills, while the name that should describe them ran, hauntingly splendid, along the mysterious passages of his being, though never coming quite to the surface for capture. Perhaps, too, he was glad that the revelation was only partial.
'Lumbago! he thought; 'that's what love ends in at my time of life! And suddenly Irene seemed very near, just as she had been that day of rambling at Fontainebleau when they had sat on a log to eat their lunch. Hauntingly near! Odour drawn out of fallen leaves by the pale-filtering sunlight soaked his nostrils. 'I'm glad it isn't spring, he thought.
The quaint analogy quite hauntingly remained with him, when he didn't indeed rather improve it by a still intenser form: that of his opening a door behind which he would have made sure of finding nothing, a door into a room shuttered and void, and yet so coming, with a great suppressed start, on some quite erect confronting presence, something planted in the middle of the place and facing him through the dusk.
On the train ride here she, of course, was not with him and yet, hauntingly, she was; and if he had gone in a second or third class carriage she would have particularly enjoyed this train ride with him more than she had: windows down, redolent smells grafted in the hard breeze and wafting the aisle of the car.
There was a shrill piping as of a singing wind, and a wail that echoed hauntingly through the air as the tuner revolved. "What in the name of goodness ?" began Mr. Crowninshield. "Hush, Dad! It is always like that," explained Dick hastily. "But it's horrible." "Yes, I know. But wait." "Isn't something out of order?" "No." Dick smiled patronizingly.
"What is it now?" "The name God gave me?" "Yes." "God knows!" "What do you want here?" He spread out his arms toward us four, and grinned. "Look see! Four Eenglis sportman! Could a man want more?" "Your face is hauntingly familiar," said the consul, searching old memories. "No doubt. Who carried your honor's letter to Adrianople in time of war, and received a bullet, but brought the answer back?"
