The cunning helmsman stood silent, clenching his teeth, till he saw a heron come flying mast-high toward the rocks, and hover awhile before them, as if looking for a passage through. Then he cried, "Hera has sent us a pilot; let us follow the bird." The heron flapped to and fro a moment till he saw a hidden gap, and into it he rushed like an arrow, while the heroes watched what would befall.
Lindens and beeches spread a lofty arch of luxuriant growth over the whole place. Jasmines and roses blossom freely in that consecrated earth. Over the big old tombstones creep vines of ivy and periwinkle. There is a corner where the pine-trees grow mast-high. Does it not seem as if the young wood outside ought to be ashamed at the sight of them?
The heroes' hearts sank within them, and they lay upon their oars in fear; but Orpheus called to Tiphys the helmsman, 'Between them we must pass; so look ahead for an opening, and be brave, for Hera is with us. But Tiphys the cunning helmsman stood silent, clenching his teeth, till he saw a heron come flying mast-high toward the rocks, and hover awhile before them, as if looking for a passage through.
And there was the stupidity of it, because surely a child could have seen that my mother's attack was in answer to my defence. Why should we write a duet each saying the same thing? Well, I'm still very confused about it all, and I don't in the least know what I am going to do more likely to die on the last plank, than to get into port with my ensign mast-high.
And then there came another age And it grew wondrous cold; And ice mast-high came floating by, As green as emerald; and as the icebergs melted in the sun, the stones and the silt fell out of them, and covered me up; and I was in darkness once more, vexed by many an earthquake, till I became part of this brave English land.
But never mind that, I must get on with my story, or it will never come to an end. I've hardly begun it yet." "'And now there came both mist and snow, And it grew wondrous cold: And ice mast-high came floating by, As green as emerald.
The Ganges had by this time struck on the middle part of the Goodwins, and the sea was breaking mast-high over her. Her lights and flares had gone out, and the lifeboat had the greatest difficulty in finding her. Just when the lifeboatmen were in perplexity, she again burned blue lights, and these guided the advancing boat.
There was no rain, but the wind whipped the spray of the sea mast-high, obscuring everything except in the immediate neighborhood. Two waves only could Chris see at a time the one before and the one behind. So small and insignificant the schooner seemed on the long Pacific roll!
"It's cut off from land now, and waves mast-high all about it." "Mart Tinman?" cried Van Diemen. All started; all jumped up; and there was a scampering for hats and cloaks. Maids and men of the house ran in and out confirming the news of inundation.
And I've never been down here and seen it but trouble was on its heels. Georgie! there's two of them!" We all looked, but it was hidden in a curve, and when it stole in sight again there were two of them, filmy and faint as spirits' wings, and while we gazed they vanished, whether supernaturally or in the mist that was rising mast-high I never thought, for my blood was frozen as it ran.
