I did send for thee, That Talbot's name might be in thee revived, When sapless age and weak, unable limbs, Should bring thy father to his drooping chair. But O malignant and ill-boding stars! First part of Henry the Sixth. Duncan and his party had not proceeded very far in the direction of the Caird's Cove before they heard a shot, which was quickly followed by one or two others.
Nor was there any castle nor stronghold anywhere nigh; the great building with walls and moats which stood on the south side of the King's pool was but the peaceful cloister of the Augustine Sisters of Pillenreuth. All about the water lay marsh-ground overgrown with leafless bushes, rushes, tall grasses, and reeds. It was verily a right dismal and ill-boding spot.
He was startled that could not bode any good. Mr. Douglas shook hands with him kindly, but from under his iron-gray, bushy brows shot an ill-boding look. "Is your father at home?" he asked, and his voice sounded angry and threatening. "He is in the parlor," Paul said, depressed; "if you will allow me, I will take you to him."
Then to him answered the bright-eyed goddess Athene: "O Father, Lord of the bright lightning and the dark cloud, what is this thou hast said? A man that is a mortal, doomed long ago by fate, wouldst thou redeem back from ill-boding death? Do it, but not all we other gods approve."
Then at last, in uncontrollable irritation, he shouted, "Curse you, begone!" and the ill-boding bird flapped away with a startled screech, that to Van Berg's morbid fancy was like a demon's laugh. But it alighted again a little further off and drove him half wild with its dismal cries.
How true it is that a misfortune never comes single; we live in expectation of some one happiness that we propose to ourselves, an age almost, and perhaps miss it at the last; but sad accidents have wings to overtake us, and come in flocks like ill-boding ravens. I expect my eldest brother to-day; if he comes, I shall be able to tell you before I seal this up where you are likely to find me.
"They fly by night, and assail infants in the nurse's absence." "Even the ill-boding owl is declared a bird of good omen." "The Stygian owl gives sad omens in a thousand places." "A feather of the night owl." "And, on her palace top, The lonely owl with oft repeated scream Complains, and spins into a dismal length Her baleful shrieks." Trapp's Trans. "And sell bodies torn from their tombs."
Left to herself, Ruth hesitated before going to her father with her ill-boding tidings. None knew better than she of the great, silent love that bound her parents. As a quiet, observant child, she had often questioned wherein could be any sympathy between her father, almost old, studious, and reserved, and her beautiful, worldly young mother.
Instead of the bearer of a letter from my mother, whose signal at the door put an end to my last letter, it was my mother herself. Dear and welcome as those features and that voice once were, now would I rather have encountered the eyes of a basilisk and the notes of the ill-boding raven.
They then sat down; Mrs Delvile preserving an air the most formal and distant, and Cecilia half sinking with apprehensive dismay. After a short and ill-boding silence, "I mean not," said Mrs Delvile, "to embarrass or distress you; I will not, therefore, keep you in suspense of the purport of my visit.
