Some socks, and two shirts an' something to eat an' he hez a scar over his eye where a setting hen pecked him when he was little an' won't you please find him for me, sir?" The old voice quavered toward tears. Stonewall Jackson dismounted, and looked toward the on-coming column. The advance was now but a few hundred yards away; the whole army to the last wagon train had its orders for expedition.
Under the tall Palisades, to be screened from the wind, he passed, over the sparkling water, over the trees, under the Peregrines' eyrie, under the pirates' castle where the great grim Peregrines sat; peering like black-masked highwaymen they marked the on-coming Pigeon. Arnaux knew them of old.
And the answering lazy smile of Sunny Oak was good to see. It lit his unshaven face from his unwashed brow to his chin. And to an onlooker it might well have appeared a pity that an intense bodily indolence should so dominate his personality. He looked vastly capable, both mentally and physically. But his eyes never left the on-coming Scipio.
She had been told that at every third step she must throw a handful of daisies in the path of the on-coming bride, and her effort to keep count and at the same time keep her balance on the high French heels was almost too much for her. During her many rehearsals M'haley had counted her steps for her: "One, two, three throw! One, two, three throw!"
He, too, appeared to be gazing in the direction of the on-coming cattle. Horrocks tried hard to distinguish the man's appearance, but the light was too uncertain to give him more than the vaguest idea of his personality. The horse seemed to be black or very dark brown.
What days were those of the next few years before increasing age had presented preciser problems and demanded preciser answers; before all joy was darkened by the shadow of on-coming death, and when life seemed infinite!
Letty's keen sight at once decided this to be a man a man with a log in his hand. This log he carefully adjusted across the track. "What a very curious " began Letty. But her exclamation was cut short by the awful intuition that the man meant to wreck the on-coming train. All thought of private sorrow fled in an instant. What could she do? What must she do, for save the train she must, of course.
Ruskin is the bull that stands upon the track and threatens with annihilation the on-coming locomotive; and I think that any spectator who sees his menacing attitude and hears his roaring cannot but have fears for the locomotive. There are two sorts of infidelity concerning humanity, and I do not know which is the more withering in its effects.
The wary bull which had answered, having doubtless harbored a suspicion that all was not exactly right with the first call, had halted in his on-coming rush, with head upreared, and nostrils spread, trying to catch any taint in the air which might warn him of danger. But in the dead calm the heavy evergreens stirred not; no whiff reached him. The second call upset his prudence.
It is a sense of on-coming fate, a compulsion to do or to suffer, that produces the illusion of perfect knowledge. I call it illusion, although our contact with things may be real, and our sensations and thoughts may be inevitable and honest; because nevertheless it is always an illusion to suppose that our images are the intrinsic qualities of things, or reproduce them exactly.
