And nowadays the eye inquires wonderingly how so much history and so much glory can have had for their scene so small a space, such a rugged, jumbled pile of paltry buildings, a mole-hill, looking no bigger, no loftier than a hamlet perched between two valleys.
If only I'd known what happened then at the police station and that some wretch... had insulted him with this suspicion! Hm... I would not have allowed that conversation yesterday. These monomaniacs will make a mountain out of a mole-hill... and see their fancies as solid realities.... As far as I remember, it was Zametov's story that cleared up half the mystery, to my mind.
"How suggestive to send white ones," she murmured with half a smile, and Patricia, who had been half-way to the skies at this condescension on the part of Tancredi, became aware that she was making a mountain out of a very mediocre mole-hill.
The pile of bricks I had left in the strong room was considerable. But it was a mole-hill compared with the ruins I had forced from the outer wall. I am fully assured that the work I had thus performed would have been to a common labourer, with every advantage of tools, the business of two or three days. But my difficulties, instead of being ended, seemed to be only begun.

Even the stems of the pollard willows were white, but only on the side against which the wind had blown. Painfully he walked on across the snow-covered heath, at every step sinking in over his ankles.
It is Jupiter that stoops; it is Olympus doing obeisance to the mole-hill; it is the divineness of the universal law the formal law in man that is prostrate and suppliant in her person; and the Poet exhausts even his own powers of expression, and grows inarticulate at last, in seeking to convey his sense of this ineffable, impossible, historical pretension.
It is absurd to follow it further in the light of what we know making a big mountain of a very small mole-hill." Blight, however, didn't think so. He argued for delay and for stern measures. Dr. Jebb put the motion and it was carried with but one dissenting vote; and so the matter was officially closed. As they dispersed, Dr.
Off toward the bay another of these shoals, mole-hill high in the distance, ran across the marsh for half a mile, bearing a single broken file of trees sentinels they seemed, some of them fallen, others gaunt and wind-beaten, watching against the sea. These were the lookouts and the resting-places for passing birds.
Don't be silly; don't for an impulse, for a caprice, break off anything desirable on account of a man for whom you really care nothing whose amiable exterior and prospective misfortune merely enlist a very natural and generous sympathy in you." "Do you suppose that I shall endure interference from anybody? from my uncle, from Howard?" "Dear, you are making a mountain out of a mole-hill.
The philosophers toil and struggle on mole-hill peaks far below. He who has not loved has not tasted the ultimate sweet of living. I know. I love Margaret, a woman. She is desirable. In the past twenty-four hours many things have happened. To begin with, we nearly lost the steward in the second dog-watch last evening.
