The natural revelry of the blood in speed suffers a violent shock, not to speak of our notion of being left behind, quite isolated and unsound. Or, if you insist, the condition shall be said to belong exclusively to Celtic nature, seeing that it had been drawn directly from a scion of one of those tribes. Young Patrick jumped from the train as headless as good St. Denis.
So many dead men, grey and blue, lying as in pattern! And then the plain beneath, and the Stonewall's desperate fight, and the battle in the wheat! The Federal cannon had sheared the heads from the men. The soldiers, mounting through the darkness in the whistling wind and rain, saw again these headless bodies.
Much it was to Filer's astonishment, then, when the surgeon asked him what he had brought in a headless trunk for; he declared that the lieutenant had a head on when he took him up, for he had himself asked him to take him from the breach, and that he did not know when the head was severed, which must have been done by one of the bullets of which there were so many whizzing about in all directions.

Davenant had coolly drawn his sabre, but had given no order to retire. "Move back the guns!" exclaimed Stuart. "Is it necessary, general?" asked Davenant. "Yes, they will be captured in five minutes!"
I put the good nails into kegs, and the headless nails and splinters were sent back to be melted into window weights. Handling sharp nails is hard on the hands. And the big half-dollar that I earned was not unmarred with blood. Every pay-day I took home my entire earnings and gave them to mother. All my brothers did the same.
Carmichael dropped the pistol into a pocket, and the king smoothed down his crumpled sleeves. "A fine comedy!" cried Herr Ludwig jovially, folding his arms over his deep chest.
