His hands left their task of counting notes, seized an imaginary person by the lapels of an imaginary coat and shook him violently. "The noise, the great c-r-rash, the shoutings, the little squeals, and then the peoples running, the glasses breaking tinkle tinkle you have seen the smoke, thick black smoke, and smelling pah!" He wrinkled his nose with disgust.
Now the end of school was announced. In a short time the door was opened, and the boys and girls hastened out toward the open place before the schoolhouse, where suddenly all were crowded together like a huge ball, from the midst of which came a tremendous noise and confused shoutings. Something out of the common must have happened.
At last we reached the middle of the river, where the current became exceedingly rapid and began to carry us down with it. Out of the ominous darkness I heard the shoutings of my companions and the dull cries of fear and suffering from the horses. I was chest deep in the icy water. Sometimes the floating blocks struck me; sometimes the waves broke up over my head and face.
And always the mighty River of the Moose, gleaming, jewelled, barbaric in its reflections, slipped by to the sea. So rapid and bewildering was the motion of these two great powers the river and the sky that the imagination could not believe in silence. It was as though the earth were full of shoutings and of tumults. And yet in reality the night was as still as a tropical evening.
Think what it means to me and you To see it even as God Evolved it when the world was new! When Light rose, earthquake shod, And slow its gradual splendor grew O'er deeps the whirlwind trod. What shoutings then and cymbalings Arose from depth and height! What worship-solemn trumpetings, And thunders, burning white, Of winds and waves, and anthemings Of Earth received the Light!
Add to this "the right of peaceably assembling" violently wrested the rights of minorities, rights no longer free speech struck dumb free men outlawed and murdered free presses cast into the streets and their fragments strewed with shoutings, or flourished in triumph before the gaze of approving crowds as proud members of prostrate law! The spirit and power of our fathers, where are they?
Shut in on all sides by bush and tall timber, with the rushing river as sentinel, we seemed in a world all our own a tiny human world, with a camp fire for its hub; and as we dreamed on, half conscious of the moonlight and shoutings, the deep inner beauty of the night stole upon us.
Amid, then, all the noise and bustle made by intimating to such a number whether they were to "haw" or "gee," the shoutings of the younger parties assembled, the straining of chains and the creaking of boards, the ponderous pile was set in motion along the smooth white and marble-like snow road, whose breadth it entirely filled up.
Scarcely were my words uttered, when they rushed to the shore, with shoutings and songs of gladness; and soon every one was seen struggling under the biggest block of coral with which he dared to tackle.
And the screaming of the maid afar off in the dark did end very sudden; but in a moment there did be other screamings in diverse places, and the hoarse shoutings of the great men and the thudding of mighty feet that ran this way and that, a-chase. And the cryings of the humans came nearer, and the thuddings of the great feet.
