Narcissus' bag seemed, somehow, a symbol; and I had caught sight of a binding or two as it lay open in Tithefields that made me curious to see it open again.
Have you, like me, good reasons for employing your fingers so as to keep your brains from working? "'Let us stick to the question of the wall, said she, with a smile. "'Why, we have begun at the foundations, said I. 'Must not I know which of us ought to yield to the other in behalf of our suffering, or, if you choose, of our mania? Oh! what a charming clump of narcissus!
One day as Narcissus was wandering alone in the pathless forest, Echo, peeping from behind a tree, saw his beauty, and as she gazed her heart was filled with love. Stealthily she followed his footsteps, and often she tried to call to him with endearing words, but she could not speak, for she no longer had a voice of her own.
With neatness and ample force he brought his monkey wrench down on the German's skull; and then to Cappy Ricks, waiting on the bridge of the Narcissus, came the ancient Irish battlecry of Faugh-a-ballagh! For the benefit of those not versed in the ways of the fighting Celt, be it known that Faugh-a-ballagh means Clear the Road.
Soon he came to a spring, a placid basin of water canopied by an artificial grotto of rock, and kneeling down he gazed intently at his own reflection. But no thought of Narcissus, or of Horace's fountain of Bandusia, intervened to substitute literary memories for the reality of sensation; he was too genuine a lover of nature to interpret it in the terms of letters.
Well, they are not rare; you shall have as many as you like. Whereupon he waved his wand, and the Princess found herself surrounded and half buried in the fragrant flowers. She would certainly have betrayed that this was not the kind of narcissus she wanted, but for the Fairy Melinette, who had been anxiously watching the interview, and now thought it quite time to interfere.
Pure was she as the pale narcissus by the streams, and serving her what could I be but pure? And then, quite suddenly, upon the heels of such thoughts came the reaction. Horror and revulsion were upon me. This was but a fresh snare of Satan's baiting to lure me to destruction.
"And what is that?" "I does without." "But the marsh behind us " "Salt." "Narcissus Swiggs, you have been in my service twenty years." "Twenty-three." "During that time you have once or twice argued with me. I ask you, as a Christian man, to tell me truly what you got by it." "Naught." "Just so. On this occasion, however, I've listened with great patience to all your objections "
How troublesome girls were when they asked questions! "Well," he said, not very logically, "that narcissus has nothing but air around it; my thought of the narcissus has mind around it." "Then a thought is better than a thing because it has thought round about it?" "Well, yes" "Did the thing come there of itself, or did it come of God's thinking?" "Of God's thinking."
Otherwise, how should an outlaw whose face is so well known that you recognized him instantly how should he dare to approach the palace?" The centurion touched his forehead. "Mad, I daresay! Go on in. Get Marcia's protection for him. Bring me her command in writing! Wait, though let me look at you." He made Narcissus throw his heavy cloak off, clean his legs and change into his other foot-gear.
