There is no beauty or romance or mystery in the sea except for the men that sail abroad upon it, and for those that stay at home and dream of them. As for your song, it rings night and morning, year in, year out, in the ears of men that are born in Wrellisford; at night it is part of their dreams, at morning it is the voice of day, and so it becomes part of their souls.
Great purple rings had settled around his closed eyelids, his lips were blue, his sweet mouth partly opened, he seemed to breathe with difficulty. I could not speak. Mr. Bristed turned down the coverlet from the little shoulders. "Look, Miss Reef," said he hoarsely, his voice quivering with agitation, pointing to some hideous marks on the little sufferer's throat "those are his finger marks."
Nor can I quite pass over the probability of the former existence of large archipelagoes of lofty islands, where now only rings of coral-rock scarcely break the open expanse of the sea, throwing some light on the distribution of the inhabitants of the other high islands, now left standing so immensely remote from each other in the midst of the great oceans.
We have had our full share without fighting for it. Thus all things come to him who contrives and waits. Meanwhile, there are "groups" and "rings." And, likewise, "leaders" and "bosses."

One day Jim Tracy noticed that a long to the ground between one of the rings and a wooden platform. "What's that, Joe?" asked the ringmaster, "Looks like an extra guy wire for the pole."

Among the insect species of the strepsiptera, the female is a shapeless worm which lives its whole life long in the hind body of a wasp; its head, which is of the shape of a lentil, protrudes between two of the belly rings of the wasp, the rest of the body being inside.
Before she could be answered, the impatient Emperor returned, and brought with him the abbot, who proceeded to find the place in his book, and to ask the bridegroom for the rings. Ebbo looked at Sir Kasimir, who owned that he should have brought them from Ulm, but that he had forgotten.
She has so many gold rings on her fingers that you can't see the dirt underneath; and she owns so many brothels and wine-shops that she can even buy off the tax-collectors. Do I love her? Do I love Rome? No! I love you, Sextus, son of Maximus, and I will go with you to the world's end if you will lead the way." "I love Rome," Sextus answered.
"Bide a while, lord," he answered; "there is that which I would bring with me." For a space Eric waited and then called aloud, "Swift! thou fool; swift! the ship sinks!" And as he called, Skallagrim came, and his arms were full of swords and byrnies, and red rings of gold that he had found time to gather from the dead and out of the cabin.
God's truth! to know such bliss as that of which she rings the bells and lights the fires, what man would not forfeit a third of his future happiness? and he who has known her once would for a second night forfeit without regret eternity." "But," said Raoul, "in things which should be so much alike, how is it that there is so great a difference?" "Ha! Ha! Ha!"
