Celia was not impulsive: what she had to say could wait, and came from her always with the same quiet staccato evenness.
Some orchards were still in blossom, and the great wild bees, hunting over flowers and grasses warm to their touch, kept the air deeply murmurous. Movement, light, color, song, scent, the warm air, and the fluttering leaves were confused, till one had almost become the other. And Stanley thought, for he was not rhapsodic 'Wonderful pretty country!
At Worms, the Siegfried story was pictured, in ancient times, in the Town Hall and on the Mint. All round Worms, place-names connected with the Nibelung tale occur with remarkable frequency.

He could hear a song sparrow high up on the telegraph wire, sing out its wild sweet lonely strain: Sweet sweetsweetsweet sweetsweet sweetsweet ! and a hum of bees in the wild grape that trailed over the sassafras trees. Beside him a little wood spider stole noiselessly on her busy way. But his heart was heavy with new burdens and he could not take his usual rhapsodic joy in the things of Nature.

"'There was a graven image of Desire Painted with red blood on a ground of gold." murmured Gouvernail, under his breath. The effect of the wine upon Victor was to change his accustomed volubility into silence.

We Discover New England Edwin Booth's performance of Hamlet had another effect.
'Now I shall always see them, she repeated. 'Thank you so much for showing me. I think they're so beautiful little red flames Her absorption was strange, almost rhapsodic. Both Birkin and Ursula were suspended. The little red pistillate flowers had some strange, almost mystic-passionate attraction for her. The lesson was finished, the books were put away, at last the class was dismissed.
A tone of literary distinction was imparted to the group by the presence of Augusta Smith, better known under her pen-name of Rhapsodic Pantril, author of a play that had had a limited but well-advertised success in Sheffield and the United States of America, author also of a book of reminiscences, entitled "Things I Cannot Forget."
