Seizing the sweep she poled with superhuman strength toward the nearest shore the Marsh of the Discontented Soul. If she remembered the spirit, she forgot her fear of it. Any terror was acceptable other than isolation on this mile-wide torrent of blood. The raft grounded, and as a viscous wash of red lapped across it, she leaped forth, landing with both feet in the horror.
But at last, jumping over a lake, she fell in and Thor was free of his pursuer. And so back to the Æsir and the Vanir Thor came in triumph, carrying on his head the mile-wide kettle. And those of the Æsir and the Vanir who had laughed most at Loki's mockeries rose up and cheered for him as he came in.
It was a glorious morning, and as the sun rose in the heavens, and pierced and burnt up with augmenting haste the pale mist that hovered over the Nile, and the vapor that hung a delicate transparent veil of bluish-grey bombyx-gauze over the eastern slopes, the cool shades of night vanished too from the dusky nooks of the narrow town which lay, mile-wide, along the western bank of the river.
If I could escape to that land with Helga, so would I at once save her and gain my freedom." Sigurd's eyes brightened, then gloomed again. "Yes, but that 'if' is like a mile-wide rift in the ice. You can never get over it." "It might be that I could get around it. I tell you I shall go out of my wits if I cannot see some trail to follow, no matter how faint it is.
Here and there he had noticed a rattler lurking in the shade of a rock or partly concealed under the thorny blade of a sprawling cactus; and he had seen a sage hen nestling in the hot sand. But these were fixtures as was also the Mexican eagle that winged its slow way in mile-wide circles in the glaring, heat-pulsing sky. The rider again halted the black horse.
It is really two islands, joined by the mile-wide isthmus of Taravao. Tahiti-nui is almost round; and Tahitiiti, oval. Both are volcanic, distinct in formation. They are united by a sedimentary piece of land long after they were raised from the ocean's bed. Mataiea is twenty-seven miles from Papeete, and well on toward the isthmus.
The mile-wide stockroute from Wilcannia to Hay was strewn with carcases of travelling sheep along the whole two hundred and fifty miles. And as human nature, thus sold, never grudges to others participation in the sell, the stooks improved in size and life-likeness for weeks and months.
Evening found them at rest under the village tree of a mud-walled, mud-roofed hamlet, talking to the headman as the cattle came in from the grazing-grounds and the women prepared the day's last meal. They had passed beyond the belt of market-gardens round hungry Umballa, and were among the mile-wide green of the staple crops.
John Baptist parishes and still seeking the Gulf of Mexico, turns from east to south before it sweeps northward and southeast again to give to the Creole capital its graceful surname of the "Crescent City." Mile-wide, brimful, head-on and boiling and writhing twenty fathoms deep, you could easily have seen, that afternoon, why its turfed levee had to be eighteen feet high and broad in proportion.
The spectre paused and his words echoed across the field like the cry of a lost soul. Again he spoke to the trembling wanderer: And that curse has endured through the centuries. Under this plain in mile-wide graves we faithless warriors lie, our bones knowing no repose; and never will that curse of our betrayed king be lifted from us or this place!
