Far indeed had the son of her heart wandered, like so many sons of stately English mothers, from that lilied moat and those old gables, and the proud old eyes that would look on her son no more forever.
It has been said that an old sea-dog, Jean Paradis, refused to act as pilot, and in a fog allowed them to run straight on to death; and also that among those who perished was one of the court beauties who had eloped with Sir Hovenden. The disabled vessels retreated before the artillery of the elements, and left Bourbon's Lilied Blue to wave for half a century longer over Fort St. Louis.
"I may not read more," she said, bending to the pottery with wild color in her face. "I I am very tired, Carl. You go in the morning?" "Yes." "You are strong and sure?" "Yes. Quite. I've promised Mic-co not to lose my grip again." "And sometime you will come here again?" "Often!" When the evening star flashed silver in the lilied pool, Carl sat alone.
The two others turned tail and fled, and the last seen of them was a dust cloud on the road to Paris. Gaspard had not drawn his sword. They stood by the bridge of a little river, and he flung Guise's jewel far into its lilied waters. "A useful bauble," he smiled, "but its purpose is served."

Which of us knows what the valley of Sparta is like, or the great mountain vase of Arcadia? which of us, except in mere airy syllabling of names, knows aught of "sandy Ladon's lilied banks, or old Lycæus, or Cyllene hoar"? "You cannot travel in Greece?" I know it; nor in Magna Græcia.

But the streams of Scotland are incomparable in themselves or I am only the more Scottish to suppose so and their sound and colour dwell for ever in the memory.
At the other end of the village a gabled inn, with a great stable-yard, busy with horses and waggons. Above the village, the slopes of gently rising pastures, intersected with footpaths and shadowed with woodlands. A little way out of the village, an old mill with a lilied mill-pond, a great, dripping water-wheel, and the murmur of the escaping stream.
Shrinking Caryatides Of just-tinged marble, like Eve's lilied flesh. This weird love-ballad in prose must have taxed the translator almost as much as if it had been in rhyme; for although an interpreter of poetry undeniably has the difficulties of form to struggle with, yet there is, on the other hand, an inspiration and waft of feeling in the metre which lends him wings and helps him on.
