I fancy that the difference between the feelings with which they and the fishes inspire us is much the same as that between our mental attitude towards hill-men or house-elves, and towards men and women. The spiny lobsters are red. The common lobsters are blue.
I want none of your treasures; but I command you to give me my sister, and let us go!" Arndt folded his arms around Reutha, and walked with her through all the gorgeous rooms, the Hill-men and women following behind, and luring him with their sweetest songs and most bewitching smiles. But Reutha's voice and Reutha's smile had greatest power of all over her brother's heart.
The shudder, the stumble, the swerve ere the star-stabbing bowsprit merges The orderly clouds of the Trades and the ridged roaring sapphire thereunder Unheralded cliff-lurking flaws and the head-sails' low-volleying thunder? His Sea in no wonder the same his Sea and the same in each wonder His Sea that his being fulfils? So and no otherwise so and no otherwise hill-men desire their hills!
Their armies are not sent on interesting little expeditions to restrain a too-militant tribe of hill-men or to patrol the distant marches of a magnificent Empire, but must stand at attention generation after generation, year after year, maintaining the featureless routine of military life.
On the outskirts of the forest tents spring up, like mushrooms, in a night; the devotional voices of the temple are drowned in the clamour of bugles, the throb of racing hoofs, the challenging gaiety of the band, and the heart-stirring wail of the Royal Chumba Pipers; wiry hill-men, in kilts and tartans; the pride of the young Rajah's heart.
The sleek-barrelled swell before storm grey, foamless, enormous, and growing? Stark calm on the lap of the Line or the crazy-eyed hurricane blowing? His Sea in no showing the same his Sea and the same 'neath all showing His Sea that his being fulfils? So and no otherwise so and no otherwise hill-men desire their Hills! The Sea and the Hills.
There is a great tendency to blame the native hunter for the decrease of this and other pheasants, and from what I have personally seen in many parts of the Himalayas there is no question that the Garwhalese and Nepalese hill-men have wrought havoc among the birds. But these men are by no means the sole cause.
The Bursuk number about 5000 shields, own no chief, and in 1854 were at war with the Girhi, the Berteri, and especially the Gallas. In this country, the feuds differ from those of the plains: the hill-men fight for three days, as the End of Time phrased it, and make peace for three days. The maritime clans are not so abrupt in their changes; moreover they claim blood-money, a thing here unknown.
"They say also that in the journey from El Katif to Medina he travelled behind the caravan when he might have been first." "I see not the virtue in that. The hill-men love best to attack the van." "Tell me, O Emir, which wouldst thou rather face, a hill-man or the Yellow Air?" "The hill-man," said the other decidedly. "And thou knowest when those in front abandon a man struck with the disease?"
Twenty yards from the tent the foremost of the hill-men took the kris or bent poniard with which he was armed from between his teeth, and held it aloft in his right hand as he came warily crawling on a foot at a time followed by the others, each with his weapon raised as though already about to plunge it into our throats.
