It is a great depredator in gardens, which it has been known to plunder of carrots, turnips, and maize the stalks of which it cuts close down to the ground. It is sought-for on account of its fur, which is very valuable. The traps are set close to a tree, and when one of the creatures is caught, its companions will instantly attack it and tear it to pieces.
The disturbed owl may take himself elsewhere, after being so unceremoniously disturbed; but there are roving, tramp-like characters, with dispositions taking them here and there through the winter nights, to whom, at break of day, a hole is ever a sought-for haven.
There was little reason, except in his own unaccountable conviction, for continuing thence in one direction rather than in the other; but by some process of thought he had convinced himself that the sought-for strait lay to the south rather than to the north.
They were needed just then. At the fifth line the men stayed awhile, waiting for the word to take the sixth line, and our barrage was directed on this trench line so heavily, the Germans could not hold it. They left and our wave crossed over, but could not reach the much sought-for ditch, as a massed counter-attack drove them back.
The common psychological element is shown when, as will be done in later parts of this book, we go into the deeper common basis of alchemy and freemasonry. Then first will the sought-for “etiological assumption” attain to its desired clearness.
Samson was not long in recognising him, and, checking the speed of the stout cob he rode, the mutual effort brought the two together at the sought-for spot. "Here you, Samson, who told you to exercise my pony?" "Exercise, Master Fred? You look at him." "Look at him? I am looking at him. Poor old fellow! he's all in a lather." "Yes; he hasn't had such a gallop for months." "How dare you, then!
"None left in Kentucky this generation back; none now in Missouri. The Plains!" His eye gleamed. "That's Sam Woodhull along," resumed Molly Wingate. "He was with Doniphan." "Yes." Banion spoke so shortly that the good dame, owner of a sought-for daughter, looked at him keenly. "He lived at Liberty, too. I've known Molly to write of him." "Yes?" suddenly and with vigor. "She knows him then?"
Here is where art takes the short cut to life, sacrificing every grace to gain reality; the typical goal and method of twentieth-century poetry. So long as a vivid impression of character and circumstance is produced, the writer apparently cares nothing about style. I say "apparently," because the styleless style is perhaps the one best adapted to produce the sought-for effect.
When the sought-for opportunity did not appear, he accepted the place that was offered, a place in which he was needed; for the first colonel, selected by the regiment itself, had already by his conduct lost their confidence. They exchanged him for Grant with high satisfaction.
And this strange desire was fulfilled, for a severe and painful malady afflicted her for three years. Again was she removed to some place for cure, for her case was desperate. And here her patience was supernal. Yet patience under bodily torments did not give the sought-for peace.
