This mass runs along on its wheels as easily as a billiard ball; it rolls with the rolling, pitches with the pitching, comes and goes, stops, seems to meditate, begins anew, darts like an arrow from one end of the ship to the other, whirls around, turns aside, evades, rears, hits out, crushes, kills, exterminates. It is a ram battering a wall at its own pleasure.
"A thousand pardons! but I have already had the honour to inform you, that I have contracted an obligation which does not allow me to listen to terms." As a serpent, that, after all crawlings and windings, rears itself on end, Louvier rose, crest erect: "So then it is finished. I came here disposed to offer peace you refuse, and declare war."
Three mournful days the mother prays, And weeps the children's fate; The prince in vain has scoured the plain A sound is at the gate. The mother hears, her head she rears, She lifts her eager finger 'Rejoice, rejoice, 't is Albrecht's voice, Open! Oh, wherefore linger? See, cap in hand the woodman stand Mother, no more of weeping His hound well tried is at his side, Before him Albrecht leaping,
If he be suddenly awoke, and hurriedly called, he rears himself up to see what sheep are running away, and he is so honourable, that he will lie among pails full of milk, and neither touch them himself, or suffer cat, rat, or any other creature to molest the store. The drovers' dogs are somewhat larger, and more rugged.
The ever smoking volcano rears its bare cone on one side, while the two larger islands are clothed with vegetation to the summit of the hills. Going on shore, I walked up a pretty path which leads to the highest point of the island on which the town is situated, where there is a telegraph station and a magnificent view.
Do you see this passage with pencil-marks against it, and all the words underscored? "Ah me! the laurel wreath that Murder rears, Blood-nursed, and watered by the widow's tears, Seems not so foul, so tainted, and so dread, As waves the nightshade round the sceptic head.
From the banks of the Moskwa the Kremlin rears its glittering crest, surrounded by green-capped towers and frowning embattlements, its umbrageous gardens and massive white walls conspicuous over the vast sea of green-roofed houses, while high above all, grand and stern, like some grim old Czar of the North, rises the magnificent tower of Ivan Veliki.
It is in such situations that, along with titmice and some other birds, the wryneck rears its young; and it doubtless owes many an escape to this habit of hissing, accompanied by a vigorous twisting of its neck and the infliction of a sufficient peck, easily mistaken in a moment of panic for the bite of an angry adder. Thus does Nature protect her weaklings.
In several sad respects, both Church and State are in positions of acute antagonism to those great catholic objects. An ecclesiastical supremacy in the British sovereign rears its head over these Covenanted kingdoms; for, as Blackstone writes, this supremacy is "an inherent right of the British Crown."
The risen Christ rears the true temple on earth, for through Him the Holy Ghost dwells in His Church, which is collectively 'the Temple, and in all believing spirits, which are individually 'the temples' of God. So the false witnesses distorted into a lie a great truth. The Incarnate Word was dumb all the while. He 'was still and refrained' Himself.
