They come to thee, the halt, the maimed, the blind, The devil-torn, the sick, the sore; Thy heart their well of life they find, Thine ear their open door. Ah! who can tell the joy in Palestine What smiles and tears of rescued throngs! Their lees of life were turned to wine, Their prayers to shouts and songs!
Eloise, with her clinging creamy draperies, and the vivid red of her silken scarf, and her glorious hair. "Oh, Gail Clarenden, is it really you?" she cried, stretching out both hands toward me with a glad light in her eyes. "Yes, Little Lees, it is I." I took both of her hands in mine. They were soft and white, and mine were brown and horny, but their touch sent a thrill of joy through me.
Hear all parties. He that is red for windlestraws, should not sleep in lees. He that is fraid of a far should never hear thunder. He is not the fool that the fool is, but he that with the fool deals. He loves me for little that hates me for nought. He that hes twa huirds, is able to get the third. He is a fairy beggar that may not goe by ane mans door. Hall-binks are fliddery.
He is led off to be hanged at last, much to the reader's satisfaction, who murmurs, in the words of R.L. Stevenson, "There's an end of that." But though the Usurper is dull, we reach a lower depth and muddier lees of wit in the Carnival, a comedy by Major Thomas Porter, of 1664.
Up on the Kansas prairies and the Missouri bluffs we have a central vetebra the family hearth-stone and we live all around it. That is the people who have them do. There isn't much home life for a freighter of the plains anywhere. Good by, Little Lees." I took her offered hand. "I'm glad you have let me be your friend, a hard-shelled bull-whacker like me."
The entire talk of a fashionable tea-party, strained from its lees of scandal, filtered through a sober reflection of the following morning, is not equal in value to the quivering of a single leaf.
Lee and Aunt Maria had exchanged several calls. They were, in fact, almost intimate. The Lees were at the supper-table when Wollaston made his deprecatory remark concerning Maria, and he had been led to do so by the law of sequence. Mrs. Lee had made a remark about Aunt Maria to her husband. "I believe she thinks Harry Edgham will marry her," she said.
As to Virginia, two of her delegates, in the first place, refused to sign it; these were Randolph, the governor, and George Mason. Besides these, Henry, Harrison, Nelson, and the Lees are against it. General Washington will be for it, but it is not in his character to exert himself much in the case. Madison will be its main pillar," etc. With respect to Washington, Jefferson was mistaken.
Only forty-two years of age, he might reasonably have looked forward to many years of active work and the enjoyment of his honors! But Lorenzo, although not a vicious, was a pleasure-loving man, and he had drained the cup of enjoyment to the very lees.
Maybe, but baroness, you will never again be as you were, flinging all body and soul into the fire of passion, and yearning for motherhood! Such times can never be the same. We burn, even desire, and consume our dreams. Child of aristocracy, you found in this South Sea eyot the freedom your atavism, or shall I say, naturalness, craved, and you drank your cup to the lees and thought it good.
