Before you've done anything whatever, you talk about having done it all." "And they call us Charlestonians fiery boasters," said St. Clair. "Why, there's nobody in all Charleston who's half a match for this sea islander, Happy Tom Langdon." Charleston received Lincoln's threat and gave it back. Many were glad that he had made the issue.
"Then what was the ointment for? to produce whiskers? that was the reason Tom oiled himself like a Loyalty islander his hair was so shiny, that Harry recommended a top-knot, like theirs, etc."
In entering upon the pebble beach the train had passed close to the ruins of Henry the Eighth's or Sandsfoot Castle, whither Avice was to have accompanied him on the night of his departure. Had she appeared the primitive betrothal, with its natural result, would probably have taken place; and, as no islander had ever been known to break that compact, she would have become his wife.
While Juag and I had been engaged with the thag, he had abducted her. I ran swiftly back to where Juag was working over the kill. As I approached him I saw that some-thing was wrong in this quarter as well, for the islander was standing upon the carcass of the thag, his javelin poised for a throw. When I had come nearer I saw the cause of his belligerent attitude.
The proposition that the average American workingman or European peasant is "better off" than the South Sea Islander, lolling under a palm and drunk with over-eating, will not bear a moment's examination. It is we scholars and gentlemen that are better off.
A South Sea Islander might have envied but could not have excelled him. It was these qualities that decided the course of his career just after he left school.
"Amid the deep revery of nature, on that mild October afternoon, we returned to the village of Huntington, there to meet the few, the very few, survivors who recall Walt's first appearance in the literary world as the editor of 'The Long Islander, nigh sixty years ago . Two of these forefathers of the hamlet clearly remembered his powerful personality, brimful of life, reveling in strength, careless of time and the world, of money and of toil; a lover of books and of jokes; delighting to gather round him the youth of the village in his printing-room of evenings, and tell them stories and read them poetry, his own and others'. That of his own he called his 'Yawps, a word which he afterwards made famous.
Drought may visit the islander, and he may be starved; the tornado may desolate his shore; fever and famine and thirst may lie in wait for him; sickness and sorrow and death abide with him. Thus is he dependent in his independence. And he is insecluded in his seclusion, for he can not escape from the intruder.
There’s Gary, Captain in the Athabasca Battalion, a Yankee if the truth were known; there’s Flint, a cockney lieutenant in a Calgary battery; there’s young Gray, a lieutenant and a Prince Edward Islander; and here’s me, a major in the Yukon Battalion four of us on the top of a cursed French mountain ten months of each other, of solitude, silence and the whole world rocking with battles and not a sound up here not a whisper!
Similarly, the killing of his nagual causes the death of a Central American Indian, the killing of his bush soul causes the death of a Calabar negro, the killing of his tamaniu causes the death of a Banks Islander, and the killing of the animal in which his life is stowed away causes the death of the giant or warlock in the fairy tale.
