Do you care anything for Louis Quinze?" Jane found herself on the threshold of a long and glittering apartment; it was full of the ornate and complicated embellishments of the eighteenth century an exhibition of decorative whip-cracking. Grilles, panels, mirror-frames all glimmered in green and gold, and a row of lustres, each multitudinously candled, hung from the lofty ceiling.
Then God spake unto the fish; and from the shuddering cold and blackness of the sea, the whale came breeching up towards the warm and pleasant sun, and all the delights of air and earth; and 'vomited out Jonah upon the dry land; when the word of the Lord came a second time; and Jonah, bruised and beaten his ears, like two sea-shells, still multitudinously murmuring of the ocean Jonah did the Almighty's bidding.
Thus, in the thronging hum of metaphor, Justine sometimes pictured their relation; seeing it, again, as a journey through crowded populous cities, where every face she met was Amherst's; or, contrarily, as a multiplication of points of perception, so that one became, for the world's contact, a surface so multitudinously alive that the old myth of hearing the grass grow and walking the rainbow explained itself as the heightening of personality to the utmost pitch of sympathy.
But old and mighty walls now surround the spot which Manto found sterile and lonely in the heart of the swamp formed by the Mincio, no longer Benaco; and the dust of the witch is multitudinously hidden under the edifices of a city whose mighty domes, towers, and spires make its approach one of the stateliest in the world.
The hour or two after luncheon and on Sundays with especial rigour, for one of the domestic reasons of which it belonged to Maggie quite multitudinously to take account were habitually spent by the Princess with her little boy, in whose apartment she either frequently found her father already established or was sooner or later joined by him.
He went with the Princess to a high secret place, and Alianora, crying sweetly, in the famous old fashion, "Torolix, Ciccabau, Tio, Tio, Torolililix!" performed the proper incantations, and forthwith birds came multitudinously from all quarters of the sky, in a descending flood of color and flapping and whistling and screeching.
Ever the night thrilled more and more with silent twinklings; more and more multitudinously lights pointed in the eternities; the Evening Star quivered like a great drop of liquid white fire ready to fall; Vega flamed as a pharos lighting the courses ethereal, to guide the sailing of the suns, and the swarming of fleets of worlds.
You dare not mock at the Sphinx!" Not less stupendously placid than the Sphinx, and even grimmer in his remoteness from the places that have heard Messiah's name, is the Boodh, throned in trance, and multitudinously worshipped. Shall I tell you how I first beheld him in his glory? We were approaching some sacred caves in Burmah.
As they neared it now, journeying since the break of day, impatience seized them; so when the cry sped down the irregular column "It is here! It is here!" they answered with a universal labbayaki, signifying, "Thou hast called us here we are, here we are!" Then breaking into a rabble, they rushed multitudinously forward.
His mind was indeed one of those multitudinously organized cross-roads of truth which are occupied only at rare intervals by children of men, and from which nothing is either too far or too near to be seen in due perspective. Patientest observation, exactest mathematics, shrewdest discrimination, humanest feeling, flourished in him on the largest scale, with no apparent detriment to one another.
