The man walked on about ten paces, in the same manner as he had previously done; all of a sudden he turned, and taking the bridle of the burra gently in his hand, stopped her. I had now a full view of his face and figure, and those huge features and Herculean form still occasionally revisit me in my dreams. I see him standing in the moonshine, staring me in the face with his deep calm eyes.
At last, the youth succeeded, by means of the cleverest trick I ever saw, in clasping his opponent firmly. For a long time, Milo exerted all his strength to shake him oft, but in vain, and the sand of the Stadium was freely moistened by the great drops of sweat, the result of this Herculean struggle.
"No," she said, "I was wrong I do not need to be a man while there still be such men as you, my friend; but I would that I were not the unhappy woman whom Fate had bound to an ingrate king to a miserable coward!" They had reached the grade at last, and the motor was straining to the Herculean task imposed upon it.
His hair is smooth and flat, as though it has been licked by a possible and, if so, Herculean mother-cat. During Anthony's time at Harvard he had been considered the most unique figure in his class, the most brilliant, the most original smart, quiet and among the saved. This is the man whom Anthony considers his best friend.
Written down on paper, the imaginary conversation between them would have filled volumes. But to be called actually to the telephone she had telephoned to him a thousand times in the dream and hear her say, just as in the dream she had said "This is Rose; do you remember me?" was enough to make even his herculean knees knock together.
Silas Ware, his overseer, was in the prime of life, of florid complexion, rugged habit, short stubbly hair thick and bristling, that stood close and even on his round, heavy head from a little way above the beetling brows well down upon the bull-like neck which joined but hardly separated the massive head and herculean trunk.
The Herculean legs and feet of Porthos had, by swelling, burst his stockings; all the strength of his huge body was converted into the rigidity of stone. Porthos moved no more than does the giant of granite which reclines upon the plains of Agrigentum. According to Pelisson's orders, his boots had been cut off, for no human power could have pulled them off.
To his rear was a multitude of bold partisans, Tettenborn, the Hanseatic legion, Czernitscheff, who, at Halberstadt, captured General Ochs together with the whole of the Westphalian corps and fourteen pieces of artillery, Colomb, the Herculean captain of horse, who took a convoy and twenty-four guns at Zwickau, and the Black Prussian squadron under Lutzow.
He rubbed his eyes, and, by the dim light of the moon, saw a Herculean policeman lifting a stout stick over his head. His former terror came upon him with increased violence, and his heart stood for a moment still, then, again, hammered away as if it would burst his sides. "Come along!" roared the policeman, shaking him vehemently by the collar of his coat.
His hands were tied in the same manner, and round his neck was an iron collar, with a chain about six feet in length which was secured at the end to another band around the waist of one of the "braves." As the prisoner stood erect, Carpenter saw that he was a man of herculean proportions and over six feet three or four inches in height.
