Where Crabbe is represented, not unfairly, as dwelling mainly on the seamy side of peasant and village life, such passages as the above are not to be overlooked. He is in the midst of the recollections of his departed flock when the tones of the passing-bell fall upon his ear.
Now since she is dying, let us ring her passing-bell; for when she is dead, we that live to see it, intend to ring out. Having in the foregoing discourse spoken of Antichrist his ruin, and the manner thereof, I now come to speak of the signs of the approach of her destruction.
"That clock has sounded the hour of a rendezvous." "For me, it sounds like a passing-bell. But be silent, Laure; here are three cloaks passing." They allowed three men to pass. Grandchamp followed them, made sure of the road they took, and returned to his seat, sighing deeply. "The snow is cold, Laure, and I am old.
Eight long years have slipped by since that night, and in that time a passing-bell has tolled for the Philippines which we found then. Who shall say for many a year whether the change be for better or for worse?
Jehoshaphat, when he was sore opprest By Amnon and by Moab, and the rest Of them that sought his life, no rest he found, Until a word of faith became a ground To stay himself upon; O, then they fell, His very song became their passing-bell.
"Ho! just loosen the rope, If it's only just for a while; I fancy I see my father coming Across from yonder stile." I had lied in telling him that the old doctor was dead. As a matter of fact he lay dying that afternoon. Half-way down the hill I saw the small figure of Jacobs, the sexton, turn in at the church-gate. He was going to toll the passing-bell.
She wept bitterly while she enquired at the bed- side how her lady did, but wept still more, when, without answering, or seeming to know her, Cecilia started up, and called out, "I must be removed this moment! I must go to St James's-square, if I stay an instant longer, the passing-bell will toll, and then how shall I be in time for the funeral?"
I cannot contentedly frame a prayer for myself in particular, without a catalogue for my friends; nor request a happiness wherein my sociable disposition doth not desire the fellowship of my neighbour. I never heard the toll of a passing-bell, though in my mirth, without my prayers and best wishes for the departing spirit.
"As the death-rattle became stronger the priest prayed faster; his prayers mingled with the stifled sobs of Bovary, and sometimes all seemed lost in the muffled murmur of the Latin syllables that tolled like a passing-bell." After the fashion of alternating these words, the author has tried to make for them a sort of reply.
How sad are the remembered strains that aforetime were incentives to love and promises of happiness! Gloom settles upon the scene; Mephisto, the only radiant one, flits across it, and mocks the poor broken-hearted girl clinging to the church door. There is a dungeon, the chanting of the procession of tonsured priests, the passing-bell.
