The bright, precipitous roof of the Church of the Recollets, and the spangled canopy of the vast foundation of the Grey Nuns reposed resplendent; and, within its ample enclosure, luminous as a moon-lit lake, the quadrangled and cloistered College of Montreal.
I entered this by the open wicket, and anxiously examined each window. At length I detected a ray of light struggling through a closed shutter in one of the upper rooms it was a novel feeling, alas! to look at any house and say there dwells its usual inmate the door of the house was merely on the latch: so I entered and ascended the moon-lit staircase.
Those shadowy, moon-lit "parterres," those living roses Beardsley has planted them since in another "enchanted garden" and those "eyes," that grow so luminously, so impossibly large, until it is almost pain to be "saved" by them these things are in Poe's true manner; for it is not "Helen" that he has ever loved, but her body, her corpse, her ghost, her memory, her sepulchre, her look of dead reproach!
Some little time ago, when I was at the coast, an incident happened a kind of unexpected emergency" he paused thoughtfully as a sudden vision of a moon-lit room flashed before him "I got through that all right," he added, "so I'm hopeful." "How thrilling," said Mary. "Won't you tell me what it was?" His eyes met hers with a placidity for which she could have shaken him.
Imagination sometimes gives human outlines to shadows among the moon-lit trees, so that elves and pixies, nymphs and fairies, become established in the world as the primitive man conceives it. Larger tasks are discharged by more important spirits, and everything natural thus becomes animated by supernatural beings.
Then suddenly in wild rapture she broke from the German, repeating the refrain in English ". . . The rapture that would be my own If I had you . . . if I had you . . . you." Piercing sweet it ended, filled with tenderness. Just you, you, you, going on far across the moon-lit waters into infinity.
From that auspicious opening in the morning when the clouds seemed to dissolve for the express purpose of allowing a fresh-washed sky to enter into the color scheme of the beautiful picture blue dome, chalk-white and sea-green war-ships, green and blue and white-edged little seas until that last moment at night when the last call on the last ship was blown and to its lingering cadence the last unwinking incandescent of the fairy-like illumination was switched off, leaving the hushed and darkened fleet riding to only the necessary anchor lights on the motionless, moon-lit sound who witnessed it all might not doubt the existence of that spirit which in conflict makes for more than thickness of armor or weight of shell.
So the great master of song sat in the high balcony on that June night and let his voice float out over moon-lit Rome; and presently Ortensia slipped from her chair and knelt before him, her hands clasped on his knees and looking up to his face, for his magic was more enthralling now than when it had first drawn her to him.
No one could ever remember just how the audience left the big top that night, and even Barker had no clear idea of how Jim took down the tents, loaded the great wagons, and sent the caravan on its way. When the last wagon was beginning to climb the long, winding road of the moon-lit hill, Jim turned to Polly, who stood near the side of the deserted ring.
As Roderick and Lawyer Ed drove homeward, down the moon-lit length of the Pine Road; they were surprised to hear ahead of them, within a few rods of Peter Fiddle's house, the sound of singing. Very wavering and uncertain, now loud and high, now dropping to a low wail, came the slow splendid notes of Kilmarnock to the sublime words of the 103rd psalm. The two in the buggy looked at each other.
