We may guess with what fervour he must have ascended the steps of the holy altar; if up to that moment he had merely loved his God, he must on that day have dedicated to Jesus all the powers of his being, all the tenderness of his soul, and his every heart-beat.
Each heart-beat, as he calculated it, overcomes a resistance equal to one hundred and eighty thousand pounds; the modern physiologist estimates its force at from five to nine ounces!
He repeated it with every heart-beat until he fell in with some friendly red men, who took him to their camp, where to his great surprise he met M. Roussillon. It was his song when again he strode off toward the west on his lonely way.
It is overrun by neighbors become friends, to whom no one pays attention. And now, in this sacred homelet, where death still bleeds, I cannot prevent a heavy heart-beat in me towards the girl who is prostrated like the rest, but who reigns there, in spite of me of herself of everything. I feel myself agitated by an obscure and huge rapture the birth of my flesh and my vitals among these shadows.
There had been nothing but little things like these; out into Bel's head, as she and Aunt Blin carried home the tea-blush silk, and laid it by with care in its white box upon the sofa-end, came that little wish, with a spring and a heart-beat, "If she might have it on for a minute, and if in that minute he might happen to come by!"
Repeat this act about fifteen times every minute. The Sylvester Method. All this may be kept up for several hours. The first sign of recovery is often seen in the slight pinkish tinge of the lips or finger-nails. That the pulse cannot be felt at the wrist is of little value in itself as a sign of death. Life may be present when only the most experienced ear can detect the faintest heart-beat.
A great fear seized upon his heart and in some degree sobered him. He listened for the heart-beat and clasped shaking fingers to a wrist that at first seemed pulseless. But at last he found a faint flutter of life in the body he had thought lifeless so faint and wavering a flutter that it seemed only a whispered echo of a departed vitality. For a while he stood stupefied, then he thought of Mary.
"Do you pretend that Bryant is not a poet in the grain, and that the wondrous boy, Willis, was not also 'to the manner born? Read 'Thanatopsis, or are you acquainted with it already? I hardly think you can be. Read those scriptural poems." "A very smooth school-exercise the first, no more. There is not a heart-beat in the whole grind.
Just so the heart pumps to keep the blood flowing round and round, through the muscles and all over the body. If you put your finger on your wrist, or on the side of your neck, you can feel a little throb, or pulse, for every spurt from your heart-pump; and that means for every heart-beat. This heart-pump is made of muscle, and is about the size of your clenched fist.
Still he enjoyed it except when his thoughts drifted to Valentine, and then he felt that he was very far away from her. La Roche is at least an hour and a half from Paris. It is also true that he felt a happiness, a quick heart-beat when, at eight o'clock that night the train which bore them from La Roche rolled into the Gare St. Lazare and he was once more in the city of Valentine.
