The river moved it over and joined it to Mississippi. We glided steadily down the river in the usual privacy steamboat or other moving thing seldom seen. Scenery as always: stretch upon stretch of almost unbroken forest, on both sides of the river; soundless solitude.
Fool of ignorance, I watched the descent of the weary, solemn, anxious moon down the widening vault above me, with no worse uneasiness than the dread of losing my way where as yet I had indeed no way to lose. I was drawing near the hills I had made my goal, and she was now not far from their sky-line, when the soundless wallowing ceased, and the burrow lay motionless and bare.
A sea more lonely than any ocean the most wide and distant, where no ship heaves, and no isle lifts beckoning trees above the level of the waves; a sea soundless, with no life below its lamentable surface, no little fish or proud leviathan plunging and romping and flashing from the silver roof of fretted wave dishevelled to the deep profound.
She was dumb, stupefied with misery. He turned upon her sharply. "Well?" Her lips moved in soundless assent, lips as pallid and bloodless as the wan young face beneath the small inconspicuous hat.
While it lasted, he was disquieted not by thoughts for he had no definite thoughts but by a slight emotion like that caused in a dream by the presence of something invisible soundless, and yet fantastic.
To either side, the long, dark lines of thrice-historic palaces; scarcely a poor light here and there at their water-gates; and now and then the lamps of the Traghetti.... Otherwise, darkness, soundless motion, and, overhead, dim stars. "Margaret! Look!" Kitty caught her companion's arm in a mad delight.
Twining and twisting, turning and tripping, in and out among the bush and the tree-trunks, soundless, and quite invisible, except when they crossed a moonbeam and then nearly so, because the moon has a trick of, as it were, dissolving the colors of even fairly conspicuous creatures they crept on their low way.
His plummet, if not suited to the soundless depths of Shakspeare, was able ten times over to fathom the little rivulets of Parisian philosophy. This he did effectually, and thus unconsciously levelled the paths for Shakspeare, and for that supreme dominion which he has since held over the German stage, by crushing with his sarcastic shrewdness the pretensions of all who stood in the way.
The dashing spray that leaped at the masts of the vessel, the wind that scooped up the billows into higher and higher pinnacles of emerald green, might have been soundless and powerless, for all he seemed to hear or to heed. "Why are you with us?" cried Thord again "How came you on this ship, where I thought I had hidden myself alone with her, voyaging to Death?
To see the flesh melt and the hair go white, the eye to be one hour bright like a fire in a kiln, and the next like mother on working vinegar that's not living at all no." The speech had evidently cost him much thinking, and when he ended, his cheeks puffed out and a soundless laugh seemed to gather, but it burst in a sort of sigh.
