This is harder to find than the steer, however. He then attaches his rope to the hide of the remains, having cut it with his knife first. He next starts the mule off, and a mile or so away he discovers that the hide is entirely free from the cold and pulseless corps.
This pulseless, rigid iron frame-work, on which the soft soil of human life is placed, and above which its aërial flowers and foliage rise, does not pass with him for the essential and innermost principle of all. It is rather that which, being itself poorest, the poorest of faculties can apprehend.
We will not attempt the vain task of describing her feelings through that terrible day; of picturing the alternate states of hope and deep despondency, that now made her heart bound with a lighter emotion, and now caused it to sink low, and almost pulseless, in her bosom. It passed away at last, and brought the gloomy night fall but not her husband's return.
He went down between two great drifts into a pit which seemed bottomless. He crawled to the top of the second, using his pulseless hands like sticks in the snow, and at the top something rose from the other side of the drift to meet him. It was a face, a fierce, bearded face, the gaunt starvation in it hidden by his own blindness.
In brief, Truth, according to the world, is simply whatever the world is pleased to consider as Truth for the time being. 'Tis a somewhat slight thing to stake one's immortal destinies upon!" Hilarion raised one of Alwyn's cold, pulseless hands it was stiff, and white as marble. "I suppose," he said, "there is no doubt of his returning hither?"

In the oppression of this desertion, the few Indian and half-breed children kept indoors, and Williams' Chippewayan wife, fat and lazy, left the company's store securely locked. In this silence and lifelessness Jan Thoreau felt a new and ever- increasing happiness. To him the sound of life was a thing vibrant with harshness; quiet the dead, pulseless quiet of lifelessness was beautiful.
"I am going O, Philip," she said, wildly, and ere he had time to call on God for mercy she was gone. "Good God, doctor, is she really dead?" cried Philip, as soon as he could speak to the physician upon the opposite side, whose fingers now let fall the pulseless wrist. "All is over," answered the physician, sadly. "Why did you not call me sooner if you saw the danger?
It was the night after the funeral. Ellice Lisle, the loving wife, devoted mother, kind mistress, and generous friend, had been laid away to rest; over her pulseless bosom had been thrown the red earth of her adopted Virginia, and, mingled with its mocking freshness, was the bitter rain of tears from the eyes of all who had known the lowly sleeper.
I laid my other hand upon her neck, pushed it lower till it rested above her heart, and enclosed one breast, nerveless, pulseless, and cold, colder than any snow. Slowly it chilled through my fingers. I smoothed one passive arm how cold. Then my hand sought her waist, and my arm leant upon her hip as once in Paris and here the coldness held and froze me.
But one of the mowing, apelike travesties emitted a wild shriek of madness, and Koolau waited while the shrill cachination was tossed back and forth among the rocky walls and echoed distantly through the pulseless night. "Brothers, is it not strange? Ours was the land, and behold, the land is not ours. What did these preachers of the word of God and the word of Rum give us for the land?
