In the clear eastern air, the different characters of the foliage that clothed the sides of that sea-washed mountain might be discerned from a long distance by the naked eye; the silver gray of the olive-trees near its summit; the heavy green and bossy forms of the sycamores lower down; broken here and there by a solitary terebinth or ilex tree, of a deeper green and a wider spread; till the eye fell below on the maritime plain, edged with the white seaboard and the sandy hillocks; with here and there feathery palm-trees, either isolated or in groups motionless and distinct against the hot purple air.
And to sleep long and sound," he answered; "for I've been sea-tossed and sea-washed, months and months." "My friend and companion," said I, rising from the sofa, "is absent; you must have his room." "He won't come back to-morrow; will he?" "No," said I, answering almost mechanically, in spite of my utmost efforts; "not to-morrow."
"Then do you excuse his conduct?" "I only seek to account for it, and never, for a moment, could allow myself to believe that shame ever prompted a single act in Antony. I do you suppose I could ever blush? Nay, we cease to feel shame when we have lived to feel such profound contempt for the world." "But why then should Marc Antony have shut himself up, in yonder sea-washed prison?"
There where modern life had found well-nigh perfect expression, where there was no discipline and no order, where men did not move, but drifted like sticks on a sea-washed beach, hung the socialist banner with its promise of the co-operative commonwealth. McGregor looked at the banner and at the moving people and was lost in meditation.
But she did know that everywhere that shore was belted by rocky islands, and sea-washed skerries. "You may be able to steer into safety between them," she said. "You may split the ship on some half-sunk rock not far from the land, and so we ourselves may be saved in the boat. I think that is the best for so may come a sea grave for my grandfather and no enemy's hand shall touch him or his."
Just where the vegetation met the white, sea-washed sand, Linda spread the Indian blanket, and Donald brought the lunch box. At their feet adventurous waves tore themselves to foam on the sharp rocks. On their left they broke in booming spray, tearing and fretting the base of cliffs that had stood impregnable through aeons of such ceaseless attack and repulse.
"A deathless bubble from the fresh lips blown Of Cherubim at play about God's throne Seemed her virginity. She dreamed alone Dreams round and sparkling as some sea-washed stone. Then an oaf saw and lusted at the sight. They smashed the thing upon their wedding night." Dunch, Susan Miles.
Already there were a few people about, hurrying beachward; and when I reached the level of the firm, yellow sand, there were the red-trousered men of the bathing-machines, in full activity, getting their horses into the traces, while dogs raced wildly over sand-hillocks, and children played with bright, sea-washed shells the waves had flung them.
"You like it?" she whispered eagerly, and was terrified at the awful pallor that overspread his face. For a moment he could not speak. The words, the intonation! He was back again in Japan, looking at the painting of a lonely fir tree clinging to a jutting sea-washed cliff the faintest scent of oriental perfume seemed stealing through the air. He drew his hand across his eyes.
Domes, spires, and cupolas rose over the old grey walls, crowned with floating banners the consular flags of France, and Spain, and Britain, waving alongside the eagle of the Aztecs.
