But Angelica and Moritz spoke of what their feelings had been on that evening long ago; of their having been so devotedly in love with each other, and unable to help attaching the most overweening importance to every little incident which occurred: how the pure beam of that love of theirs had been reflected by everything, and even the sweet bond of alarm wove itself out of loving, longing hearts and how the Uncanny Guest, heralded by all the spectral voices of ill-omen, had brought terror upon them.
It was the first time he had thought of that kiss with anything but pain. It used to hurt him that he had made the mistake and taken her for Kate. It had seemed like an ill-omen of what was to come. But now, it thrilled him with a great new joy. After all he had given the kiss to the right one. It was Marcia to whom his soul bowed in the homage that a man may give to a woman.
In Sweden they are called "Bad-Weather-Birds," because they are mostly seen when the fallen snow has caused them to roam from place to place, in quest of their subsistence. They are far from being birds of ill-omen, however, as we see them commonly when the storm is past.
"Who is the lady?" inquired Anne of Austria abruptly. "You said, I believe, she was one of the ladies of honor?" "Did I say so?" replied Madame. "Yes; at least I thought I heard you mention it." "Are you not aware that such a woman is of ill-omen to a royal house?" "Is it not Mademoiselle de la Valliere?" said the queen-mother. "Yes, indeed, that plain-looking creature."
He continued: "Do you know, I have heard since that to give any one a knife cuts friendship, and brings bad luck and separation, and numbers of dreadful things. So you and I are now declared enemies, I suppose. Shall we go and throw the little ill-omen in the lake after lunch?" "No; I will not part with my knife; I find it very useful," I said, in a bête way.
The sailors manage to keep them at a distance by means of handspikes, but I shall not be surprised if they persist in following us, instinctively intelligent that we are destined to become their prey. For myself, I confess that they give me a feeling of uneasiness; they seem to me like monsters of ill-omen. DECEMBER 18th to 20th.
We have all had our minds permeated with a strong fear of Hell.... After that night many will thank their stars that this abode of ill-omen is HOT and therefore apparently DRY. Each man was told to do the best for himself with a ground sheet.
It was while whispering together beside this brook, and oppressed by the suspense of night and danger near, that they detected a sound of more than usual ill-omen, and that, the certain one that some creature had stepped into the stream above, and was cautiously and slowly wading in it.
The ill-omen had affected him more than could have been believed, and he who formerly was never half an hour without speaking, now fell into long reveries from which Nadia found it difficult to arouse him. The kibitka rolled swiftly along the road. Yes, swiftly! Nicholas no longer thought of being so careful of his horse, and was as anxious to arrive at his journey's end as Michael himself.
And the mother said, 'Keep silence! thou beast of ill-omen! wilt thou make me burst with misery? Then the cock spied, and called out: 'Cock-a-doodle-do! see here comes Letiko! And the mother said again: 'Be quiet! thou bird of ill-omen! wilt thou make me burst with misery?
