They look large and near and palpitant; as if they moved on some stately service not needful to declare. Wheeling to their stations in the sky, they make the poor world-fret of no account. Of no account you who lie out there watching, nor the lean coyote that stands off in the scrub from you and howls and howls.
A pretty dispute followed, in which Edna warmly espoused her father's cause and the Doctor remained neutral. He observed his hostess attentively from under his shaggy brows, and noted a subtle change which had transformed her from the listless woman he had known into a being who, for the moment, seemed palpitant with the forces of life. Her speech was warm and energetic.
First on the way to Jimville you cross a lonely open land, with a hint in the sky of things going on under the horizon, a palpitant, white, hot land where the wheels gird at the sand and the midday heaven shuts it in breathlessly like a tent.
They went out together, but Lissa insisted on going to find grandpa first and helping him on with his light coat; then they all three went out across the farmyard and through the open gate into the field. The thresher stood humming and palpitant, its great bulk painted a dull pinkish colour like a locust, but faded and stained with rust.
Here the very air was palpitant with life. It hummed and buzzed unceasingly.

But what most made this a remarkable photograph was its living quality. So vital was the effect as one looked, that it seemed a palpitant personality of breath and soul.
Vivia still sat there and questioned the wide atmosphere, that, brooding palpitant between her and the lake, still withheld the desolating secret that horizon must have whispered to horizon throughout the aching distance. "Oh that the bells in all these silent spires Would clash their clangor on the sleeping air, Ring their wild music out with throbbing choirs, Ring peace in everywhere!"
He guessed the visitor to be Phoebe from the fluttered feminine quality of the sounds below staccato sentences whose words he could not catch, but whose very rhythm, broken and eager, betrayed them. A moment later, and a knock came at his door. It was Vassie who entered, somewhat sulkily, her beauty clouded by a shade of reluctance Phoebe, shrinking, palpitant, staying in the shadowy passage.
I saw that the mere foregoing of roof and bed is an indescribable distress; I learned something of what the palpitant anxiety before a battle must be, and the quaking fear at the first rattle of bullets, and the half-mad rush of determination with which men force valour into their faltering hearts; I was made to know something of the blight of war the horror of the battlefield, the waste of bounty, the ruin of homes.
Just in front of its nose a shimmering palpitant streak of silver shoots from the water into the air a delicate, organic mechanism of flight, endowed with sensation, power of direction, and love of life.
