No Royal ceremonial, overburdened with snobbish conventionalities and hypocritical parade, ever presented so splendid and imposing a sight as that concentrated mass of the actual people, the working muscle and sinew of the land's common weal, marching in steady and triumphant order, surging like the billows of the sea around that brave ship, their Sovereign, cheering him to the echo, and waving around him the flags of the country, while he, still bare-headed, rode dauntless in their midst looking every inch a king! more kingly indeed than he had ever seemed, and more established in the affections of his subjects than any living monarch of the time.
On a sudden the blank and helpless agony left her face. She vanished over the bank from his sight. Knight felt himself in the presence of a personalized loneliness. 'A woman's way. Haggard cliffs, of every ugly altitude, are as common as sea-fowl along the line of coast between Exmoor and Land's End; but this outflanked and encompassed specimen was the ugliest of them all.
The resulting racial problem in South Africa is one of great intricacy. To the racial problem has been added the tremendous problem of modern capital brought by the discovery of gold and diamond mines, so that the future of the Negro race is peculiarly bound up in developments here at Land's End, where the ship of the Flying Dutchman beats back and forth on its endless quest.
'I am sure it would make her very unhappy if you went off in magnanimous silence to the Land's End; and remaining as the boy's tutor, without confession, would be a mere delusion and treachery towards my aunt. 'That woman! 'She is not her mother. 'Who knows how far she will think herself bound to obedience? With that sort of relationship, nobody knows what to be at.
Whistler has painted fireworks I mean literally in his blue and silver nocturne of old Battersea Bridge. Tennyson has painted them in his "Welcome to Alexandra" and elsewhere. Flash, ye cities, in rivers of fire! Rush to the roof, sudden rocket, and higher, Melt into stars for the land's desire! "Sudden rocket." How good the adjective is!
She threw down the glove to her accusers by demanding that they should be brought by warrant to accuse her. No doubt she realized that she had good support in her community, and that her challenge was not likely to be accepted. But a woman near Land's End in Cornwall seems to have overestimated the support upon which she could count.
Sez I, and I spoke it right out before I thought sez I "Why'ee!" sez I. "For the land's sake!" sez I, "has there been a funeral, or anything? And are these the mourners?" sez I. "Are they stoppin' here to warm?" For it wuz a cold day and I repeated the words to myself mechanically as it wuz, as I see 'em file up the path. "They be mourners, hain't they?"
In the midst of the most affecting passage in the most wonderful work, perhaps, ever produced, for the mixture of universal thought with individual interest I mean the two last cantos of Childe Harold the poet warms from himself at his hopes of being remembered "'In his line With his land's language.
Then, seeing that the goblins did not understand that the Land's End was the spot from which the spirits of the dead slid down to the shades below, the old chief laid himself down stiffly on the deck and closed his eyes. But still the goblins did not comprehend; they only looked at each other and spoke in their hard, hissing speech.
"Missy, where in the world did you get all those flowers?" "Ji Kitty's cousin gave them to me." "For the land's sake!" It required a moment for mother to find further words. Then she continued accusingly: "I thought you were to come home with Mrs. Allen and Kitty." "Kitty got sick, and her mother had to take her home." "Why didn't you come with them?" "Oh, mother! I was having such a good time!"
