"Yes, your Majesty, and proves it by treasuring up the ruby that by right is yours." "Then you think that the holding of this stone, reft from our crown, had something to do with the hold of these English upon our fair domains of France?" "Certainly, your Majesty, and moreover, I hold that it is your sovereign duty to restore it to its place."
"How all that is best in womanhood," wrote the old man, with the enthusiasm which no time had reft from his hearty, healthful genius, "how all that is best in womanhood is here opening fast into flower from the bud of the infant's soul! The atmosphere seems to suit it, the child-woman in the child-world!"
Then, O chief of the Bharatas, in course of that combat, I shot at Rama a powerful and heart-piercing arrow endued with great speed. Afflicted with that shaft, Rama then, his bow loosened from his grasp, fell down upon the earth on his knees, reft of consciousness! And meteors by hundreds fell, and thunder-rolls were heard, causing everything to tremble!
And beholding this slender, youthful figure thus outlined against the moon, the velvet coat brave with silver lace, the ruffles at throat and wrist, the silken stockings and buckled shoes, I knew myself surely mad, for this I saw was Joanna alive and breathing. "Shoot!" I cried, "Death has reft from me all I loved shoot!"
From the day I tied it on that block last year reft from home and all its pleasures, bought with paltry silver at Stevens' Auction Rooms I have not touched it save to dip and to replace it on its hook. When the flowers fade, thither it will return, and grow and grow, please Heaven, until next summer it rejoices me again; and so, year by year, till the wood rots.
The king, however, neither prevented Kichaka, nor inflicted any chastisement on him. The principal ally of king Virata in war, the cruel Kichaka reft of virtue is loved by both the king and the queen. And he never walketh in the path of virtue, nor doth he any virtuous act.
Let Rome in Tyber melt, and the wide arch Of the razed Empire fall. Taken from the Roman custom of raising triumphal arches to perpetuate their victories. And again, Act III. Scene IV. Octavia says to Anthony, of the difference between him and her brother, "Wars 'twixt you twain would be As if the world should cleave, and that slain men Should solder up the reft"
"Alas," said the yeoman, "he hath reft him from me by strength, and my master will slay me." Then he besought Sir Percival to take his hackney and follow, and get back his steed. So he rode quickly, and overtook the knight, and cried, "Knight, turn again." Whereat he turned and set his spear, and smote Sir Percival's hackney in the breast, so that it fell dead, and then went on his way.
Just as severely shaken is their belief in its moral superiority, even with many whose loyalty to the British cause never wavered during the Great War and who still pride themselves on India's share in its final victory, when they see how the world of Western civilisation has been reft asunder by four years of frightful conflict which drenched all Europe with blood and left half of it at least plunged in black ruin.
These sentiments, although applied to a later period, are beautifully expressed by a modern poet, to whom was granted no small share of the pathetic eloquence of the prophetic bard whose words have just been quoted. "Reft of thy sons, amid thy foes forlorn, Mourn, widowed Queen, forgotten Sion, mourn!
