It shimmered and clustered in a visionary space between the tree and the border of blue larkspurs on the other side of the lawn. The firm figures of Michael and Nicholas and Dorothy held it together, kept it from being shattered amongst the steep blue spires of the larkspurs.
At the edge of the desert, and close to a few palm-trees, some white huts shimmered in the morning light. "Are those the tabernacles of Light, father?" asked Thais. "Even so, my daughter and my sister. Yonder is the House of Salvation, where I will confine you with my own hands." Soon they saw a number of women busy around the buildings, like bees round their hives.
For a moment or two nothing whatever was to be seen but our own decks, with the men standing stripped to the waist at their guns a row of statues half marble, half ebony, as the glare lighted up one side of each figure and left the other side in blackest shadow the spars and rigging towering weird and ghostly up into the opaque blackness above us like those of a phantom ship; whilst the water shimmered like burning brimstone under the baleful light.
I supposed that while he had been valeting old Worplesdon she must have trodden on his toes in some way. Florence was a dear girl, and, seen sideways, most awfully good-looking; but if she had a fault it was a tendency to be a bit imperious with the domestic staff. At this point in the proceedings there was another ring at the front door. Jeeves shimmered out and came back with a telegram.
It was Vettern that made it so pretty to look toward the north, because it looked as though a blue stream had risen up from the lake, and spread itself over land also. Groves and hills and roofs, and the spires of Jönköping City which shimmered along Vettern's shores lay enveloped in pale blue which caressed the eye.
Over the fields of yellowing fall wheat and barley, of grey timothy and purple clover, the heat shimmered in dancing waves. Everywhere the growing crops were drinking in the light and heat with eager thirst, for the call of the harvest was ringing through the land. The air was sweet with scents of the hay fields, and the whole country side was humming with the sound of the mowers.
They none of them answered me. Down below us the sea shimmered in the morning light. We sat on a ledge a thousand feet above it, and, save for the lapping waves on the reef, not a sound of life, not even a bird on the wing, came nigh us. You could have heard a pin drop when I went on. "Sleep-time and sun-time, is it fable or truth? Ruth Bellenden says its truth. I'll read you her words "
The whole land swam and shimmered in hot sunshine. The unpainted buildings danced in it, blurring with the heat waves. Save for the occasional green of cottonwoods, the land lay in the brown nakedness of a dry spring, wearying the eye with its sameness. Farwell swore to himself at the prospect, feeling his grievance against his employers and the world at large become more acute.
About those carcanets of rubies round drowned throats and those opals that shimmered and gleamed in dead men's skulls! At any rate, the most superficial critic of Poe's poetry must admit that every single one of his great verses, except the little one "to Helen," is pre-occupied with Death.
Moonlight shimmered through it, birds sang in green silences, and there was scent of birch and pine. Then swiftly the music changed. Through the utter sadness of it came also a hint of peace, as though one had planted a garden of roses and instead there had come up herbs and balm. In the passionate pain, there was also uplifting a flight on broken wings.
