A warmth from the past from the ashes of bygone years and the raked-up embers of long ago will sometimes thaw the ice about our hearts; but it must be otherwise with our successors.
'And a large well, a fair-sized mansion in town, and a pedigree as long as my walking-stick; though that bears evidence of being rather a raked-up affair done since the family got rich people do those things now as they build ruins on maiden estates and cast antiques at Birmingham. Elfride merely listened and said nothing. He continued more quietly and impressively.
Don evened off the flower beds, carried the raked-up grass around to the chickens, and put the gardening tools away. "Dinner at twelve sharp," Barbara called after him. At first he felt odd, throwing to the bag and not finding Ted there. He made some crazy tosses. But Marty's long reach always saved him, and Marty's cheery voice kept calling, "That's the stuff; that's what will get them."
One morning in the month of November, A.D. 1818, this man arose before daylight, and on coming out of the apartment where he slept he was surprised at finding old Moya in the kitchen, sitting over the raked-up fire, and smoking her tobacco-pipe in a very serious and meditative mood. "Arrah, Moya," said he, "what brings you out of your bed so early?"
Thus I had secured a pile of compost which nearly top- dressed an acre for fodder corn. In the poultry-room we managed in this fashion. A foot of raked-up leaves and rich earth was placed under the perches of the fowls. Every two or three weeks this layer was shovelled out and mixed thoroughly, and was replaced by a new layer.
It is true we know very little of the poet's life; and what we do know consists for the most part of raked-up and chiefly suspicious anecdotes, of about such a character as those which are told at inns to inquisitive strangers who visit the birthplace or neighborhood of a celebrated man.

The larger room was furnished meagerly with a rough deal table, several common chairs, and a double-doored cupboard against the wall. In the deep, wide fire-place glowed a heap of raked-up embers, on which, suspended from an iron crane, a kettle simmered, sadly, as if in grief for her long-lost brother pots and pans.
In any case it is instructive to become familiar with the much raked-up soil from which our virtues proudly arise. For the complication of human character moving dynamically in all directions very rarely accommodates itself to adjustment through a simple alternative, as our antiquated moral philosophy would have it. And how about the value of the dream for a knowledge of the future?
