I, by my acceptance of it, simply put the belt on the drum that connects my loom with the engine, but it is the engine that drives the looms and the shuttle, and brings out the web at last. And so, Christian people who, with God's grace in their hearts, have utilised the 'pound, and thereby made themselves Christlike, have to say, 'It was not I, but Christ in me.
"And remember, if you fail this time you'll be put out!" shouted Laura, somewhat cruelly. The little lady looked distressed, but Faith leaned over and whispered quickly, "Did you ever make tatting, Mrs. Windemere?" "Why, yes, of course I have," surprisedly, wondering what tatting could have to do with the present game. "Make believe you're throwing your shuttle and then let the gromet fly.
No man knew when the Shuttle began its slow and heavy weaving from shore to shore, that it was held and guided by the great hand of Fate. Fate alone saw the meaning of the web it wove, the might of it, and its place in the making of a world's history.
Under the bushes in the distant nook the moorhen, reassured by the silence, came out from the grey-green grass and the rushes. Surely Calypso's cave could not be far distant, where she with work and song the time divides, And through, the loom the golden shuttle guides. For the Immortals are hiding somewhere still in the woods; even now I do not weary searching for them.
To and fro in front of the long loom, lifting a lever at either end, paces he who once with painstaking intelligence drove the shuttle. THEN he tasted the joy of completed work, that which his eye had looked upon, and his hands had handled; now his work is as little finished as the web of Penelope.
This eldest daughter, with her too-ruddy face, had shyly drawn near, and taken a chair at her father's elbow, where she sat very quietly, busily tatting. Plain though her face was, she had beautiful hands. Her play with thread and shuttle, just under Guthrie's eyes, held them watchful for a time the time during which no sign of Deborah's white gown was to be perceived upon the landscape.
He found that the fuel tanks were nearly full, but that still didn't leave much margin. Mars must have been notified by Everts and be ready to pick the raft up. He had to reach the wastelands away from any of the shuttle ports. They had no aspirators, however, and they couldn't cover much territory in the spacesuits they would have to use.
Speak, weaver! stay thy hand! but one single word with thee! Nay the shuttle flies the figures float from forth the loom; the fresher-rushing carpet for ever slides away.
There were three beds in it: one on which the sick man lay; divided from it by a tattered rug was another, for his wife and daughter; and a third for his little boy in the farthest corner. Underneath the window was fixed a loom, at which the poor weaver had worked hard many a day and year too hard, indeed even till the very hour he was taken ill. His shuttle now lay idle upon his frame.
"Yes," said Larry again, "the Tuatha De the Ancient Ones who had spells that could compel Mananan, who is the spirit of all the seas, an' Keithor, who is the god of all green living things, an' even Hesus, the unseen god, whose pulse is the pulse of all the firmament; yes, an' Orchil too, who sits within the earth an' weaves with the shuttle of mystery and her three looms of birth an' life an' death even Orchil would weave as they commanded!"
