When the song ceased, a great wave dashed on the shore, like a closing organ chord, and Von Glauben spoke. "There! You wanted your own way, my princess, and you have had it! You have sung like one of the seraphim; do not be surprised if mortals are drawn to listen. Sst! What is that?" There was a pause.
In a few moments these disquieting hints had grown to a positive clamor, and my head and heels were feeling very much as do those of gentlemen who have been dining out with "terrapin and seraphim" and their liquid accompaniments.
I have just finished a very long barbarous ballad for Miss Mitford and the Finden's tableaux of this year. I believe that you will certainly have 'The Seraphim' this week. Do macadamise the frown from your brow in order to receive them. Give my love to Miss Holmes. Your affectionate friend, E.B. BARRETT. My dear Mr.
But Ambrose's devotion to the Dean, to say nothing of youthful curiosity, outweighed all those scruples, and as he listened, he was carried along by the curious sermon in which the preacher likened the orders of the hierarchy below to that of the nine orders of the Angels, making the rank of Cardinal correspond to that of the Seraphim, aglow with love.
Lying like a log for pain neither permitted us to stir nor groan still rattled on, hard and quick, the rumbling bass and shrill tenor of that most inappropriately jubilant composition "cherubim and seraphim," "fire, hail, and snow," succeeding each other with a railway velocity that there was no resisting; no sooner had we got to "stands ever fast," than round again we went to the "boundless realms of joy," and so on, on, on, through each dreary minute of those dreary hours, an infinity, or perchance but twenty-four, according as time is computed by clocks or by agonised human beings.
Almost all his heroes make love either like Seraphim or like cattle. He seems to have no notion of anything between the Platonic passion of the Glendoveer who gazes with rapture on his mistress's leprosy, and the brutal appetite of Arvalan and Roderick. In Roderick, indeed, the two characters are united. He is first all clay, and then all spirit.
The variations were of a showy and popular character, and very well adapted to impress an audience like that to which he was playing. "Beautiful! Beautiful!" exclaimed the young ladies, while their partners pronounced it "tip-top" and "first-rate," by which they probably meant very much the same thing. "Oh, Mr. Gray!" exclaimed Miss Snodgrass fervently. "You play like a seraphim!"
And the halos of the saints settled lower upon their heads and narrowed and became pale, and the singing of the choirs of the seraphim faltered and sunk low, and the converse of the blessed suddenly ceased. Then a stern look came into the face of God, so that the seraphim turned away and left Him, and the saints.
M. Reybaud repeats, with greater emphasis, the wail of his master, M. Dunoyer: one would think them the two seraphim of Isaiah chanting a Sanctus to competition.
We give but once; and when we give, we give all that we have; and when we have once given it, neither common-sense, nor a concourse of expostulating seraphim, nor anything else in the universe, can induce us to believe that a retraction, or even a qualification, of the gift would be quite worthy of us." "But that that's foolish. Why, it's unreasonable," Anne pointed out. "Of course it is.
