And so at noon-tide, as he held on his way under the fierce blaze of the sun, he was parched with thirst in the hot drought of that desert place, and he suffered the extreme of anguish. But desire of Christ conquered nature, and the thirst wherewith he thirsted for God bedewed the heat of thirst for water.
Thus on foot he wandered through Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and France. In the villages he played upon his flute to pay for his food and his night's lodging. "Yet would the village praise my wondrous power, And dance, forgetful of the noon-tide hour. Alike all ages.
He had hitherto seemed doubtful between Christianity and paganism, but a wonder was seen in the heavens before his whole army, namely, a bright cross of light in the noon-tide sky with the words plainly to be traced round it, In hoc signo vinces "In this sign thou shalt conquer."
"Then, do you remember our pleasant walks to Enfield, and Potter's Bar, and Waltham, when we had a holyday holydays, and all other fun, are gone, now we are rich and the little hand-basket, in which I used to deposit our day's fare of savory cold lamb and salad and how you would pry about at noon-tide for some decent house, where we might go in, and produce our store only paying for the ale that you must call for and speculate upon the looks of the landlady, and whether she was likely to allow us a table-cloth and wish for such another honest hostess, as Izaak Walton has described many a one on the pleasant banks of the Lea, when he went a fishing and sometimes they would prove obliging enough, and sometimes they would look grudgingly upon us but we had cheerful looks still for one another, and would eat our plain food savorily, scarcely grudging Piscator his Trout Hall?
At morn, bow with thy loved ones round the throne; At noon-tide read and pray; and in the hour When evening's shades close round thee, let the truth Subdue thy heart by its transforming power; That thou, whom God has blessed, may'st serve him from thy youth. Affection's ties oft sunder; and the home Of peace and love, sorrow and death can enter.

I make for my goal, I follow my course; over the loitering and tardy will I leap. Thus let my on-going be their down-going! This had Zarathustra said to his heart when the sun stood at noon-tide.
Their bivouacs, their groups on guard, their indolent noon-tide repose on the mountain brow, their rude repast on the herbage among rocks and trees, every thing presented a study for a painter. But it was towards the approach of evening that I felt the highest enthusiasm awakened. The setting sun, declining beyond the vast Campagna, shed its rich yellow beams on the woody summits of the Abruzzi.
How the noon-tide heat must burden those who were fighting and struggling below; how the bleeding wounds of those who had fallen in the dust must burn!
These leaves are smeared with a species of bird-lime, made by bruising the berries of a tree by no means scarce. They are then strewed, with the gluten uppermost, near to the spot to which it is understood the tiger usually retires during noon-tide heat. If by chance the animal should tread on one of these smeared leaves his fate is certain.
