Fifteen months had now elapsed since the laying of the embargo, and it had more than realized all the presages of its opponents. Our minister, Armstrong, had written from France, that it had produced no effect in France and was forgotten in England.
He began to long for something that would break this ominous, deadly silence, be it ever so slight the sound of a falling nut from a tree, or of a wild animal stirring in the undergrowth but nothing came. The same stillness, heavy with omens and presages, reigned in all the forest. The whole night passed without event and the day came.
Quicherat, who has had much to say upon architectural subjects, defines the Romanesque as an art "which has ceased to be Roman, although it has much that is Roman, and that is not yet Gothic, although it already presages the Gothic." This is not a very helpful interpretation.

Hamilcar bent his head, dazzled by such presages of greatness. "But he has been for some time restless and disturbed.
The old women tell you that always presages misfortune, but I was as far then as I am now from making my happiness into an omen of grief. But this time chance made the foolish belief of good effect. I received a letter and a large packet from Paris; they came from Manon. I opened the letter and I thought I should have died of grief when I read, "Be wise, and receive the news I give you calmly.
I was wonderfully affected with this pathetic complaint, which seemed so well calculated for my own disappointment in love, that I could not help attaching the idea of Narcissa to the name of Monimia, and of forming such melancholy presages of my passion, that I could not recover my tranquillity: and was fain to have recourse to the bottle, which prepared me for a profound sleep that I could not otherwise have enjoyed.
