I have sometimes felt, when convoying a distinguished stranger through its precincts to its door, that he might question whether star-eyed Science had not missed her way when she found herself in this not too attractive locality.
Child of my love, I would almost as soon see you in your shroud as under a bridal veil, for you will love your husband best, and oh! I want all of your dear heart for my own. How can I ever give you away, my one star-eyed angel of comfort!" Her white hand caressed the head upon her bosom, and clasping her mother's waist, the girl said distinctly: "Let it be as you wish.
Ebbs the crimson life-tide fast, And the dark Plutonian shadows Gather on the evening blast. Sometimes I grew so impassioned, so heedless of all save my mimic sorrow and the swing of the purple lines, that I could not bring myself to modify my voice, and the passers-by heard my shrill tones vibrating with: As for thee, star-eyed Egyptian! Glorious sorceress of the Nile!
"The applause didn't bust loose till almost a minute after she'd kissed the cross in that rich brown voice of hers, and even then my couple didn't join in. Nettie set still, all frozen and star-eyed, and Chester was choking and sniffling awful emotionally. 'I've sure nailed the young fools, I thinks.

"He's nothing in my young life," he said indifferently. "What I want to know is whether you are home to stay?"
Oh, if this be star-eyed science, give us anything in place of it! Blear-eyed bigotry in his cloistered den, mumbling unintelligible prayers, and believing that man is to be saved, not by what he does, but by a credo only, is far preferable to it. But oh, how unspeakably preferable the simple faith of the star-led Magi, who
Lonely are my days in this place, where none dwells save my nurse, my tutor, and Lavarcam.
