I saw, as I moved with bruised limbs to the place, close by the lips of the dying magician, the flash of the ruby-like essence spilled on the sward, and, meteor-like, sparkling up from the torn tufts of herbage. I now reached Margrave's side. Bending over him as the Veiled Woman bent, and as I sought gently to raise him, he turned his face, fiercely faltering out, "Touch me not, rob me not!
For the forty years previous to that, these three men were in every way the most famous and conspicuous in America. Others flashed, meteor-like, into a brief brilliance; but these three burned steady as the stars. They had no real rivals.
And this, remember, has relation to one who was presumably about the most spontaneous and impulsive actor who ever flashed meteor-like across the boards of a theatre. Whoever has the soul of an artist grudges no labour given to his art, be he reader or actor, author or tragedian.

As Pen-zephyr and all its environing scenes disappeared behind Mousehole and St Clement's Isle, Baptista's ephemeral, meteor-like husband impressed her yet more as a fantasy. She was still in such a trance-like state that she had been an hour on the little packet-boat before she became aware of the agitating fact that Mr Heddegan was on board with her.
Beyond them was the attraction that fascinated my gaze that thing of roseate golden hue, whose shining presence seemed to light up the dark interior of the cabin gleaming meteor-like through the interstices of the logs now softly moving from side to side, and now, thank Heaven! gliding towards the door! Only for a moment stood she silently on the stoop one smiling moment, and she was gone.
She did not seem to notice their fragrance. As she neared the lake she moved more slowly, and reaching a rustic seat beneath a cedar that shadowed the entrance to the gardens she sat down, her grey eyes fixed upon the water that gurgled at her feet. A brilliant green dragon-fly, darting meteor-like across her vision, came presently to disturb her reverie.
Though the following lines of Donne, on the last night of the year, have something in them too scholastic, they are not inelegant: This twilight of two years, not past nor next, Some emblem is of me, or I of this, Who, meteor-like, of stuff and form perplext, Whose what and where, in disputation is, If I should call me any thing, should miss.

"They had a chance to let us down and save their hides, but they weren't having any." A meteor-like trail of reddish light whizzing through the air interrupted the argument.
Meanwhile a new star had arisen in the West in the person of U.S. Grant "Unconditional Surrender" Grant, as he was called, after his capture of Fort Donelson the event which riveted the eyes of the Nation upon him and which marked the beginning of his meteor-like advancement. We have already spoken of Grant as President, and of his unfitness for that high office.
