High-tide or low- tide, there is little difference in the water; the river, be it broad or narrow, deep or shallow, looks like a pathway of polished metal; for it is as heavy weighted with stinking mud as water e'er can be, ebb or flow, year out and year in. But the difference in the banks, though an unending alternation between two appearances, is weird.
The face of the slightly taller man who stood at his shoulder was paper-white, expressionless, with a black beard. His name was Nevil Ormm, nobody was quite sure whence he had come, and he was Dunnan's henchman and constant companion. "You lie!" Dunnan was shouting. "You lie damnably, in your stinking teeth, all of you! You've intercepted every message she's tried to send me."
"With craving stomach she desires turnip strained in a smooth pan, cakes with thin juice, and shellfish in rows. "I do not remember the Great Frode putting his hand to the sinews of birds, or tearing the rump of a cooked fowl with crooked thumb. "What former king could have been so gluttonous as to stir the stinking filthy flesh, or rummage in the foul back of a bird with plucking fingers?
She saw the ditches, like long graves dug for the living, where the weary, listless men stood knee-deep in mud, hoping for wounds that would relieve them from the ghastly monotony of their existence; the holes of muddy water where the dead things lay, to which they crept out in the night to wash a little of the filth from their clammy bodies and their stinking clothes; the holes dug out of the mud in which they ate and slept and lived year after year: till brain and heart and soul seemed to have died out of them, and they remembered with an effort that they once were men.
It was a country of water in which there were no fish, of air in which there were no birds, of plants without flowers a reeking, stinking country still with the stillness of death. He began to turn yellow. His clothing, his canoe, his hands, face everything turned yellow. He could not get the filthy taste of sulphur out of his mouth.
"The trouble with me is the trouble with me is " Quantrell lowered his head and met Alan's stare. "I'm afraid, Donnell. Stinking sweaty afraid. The city's too big." Red-faced, he turned and walked away, back up the street. Alan silently watched him go. "Imagine that. Afraid!" "It's a big place," Rat warned. "Don't you feel the same way? Just a little?"
Three persons, who had evidently found no room even in the passage, lay in the anteroom, close to the stinking and leaking tub. One of these was an old idiot, whom Nekhludoff had often seen marching with the gang; another was a boy about twelve; he lay between the two other convicts, with his head on the leg of one of them.
And so now, I've said my say, and you may drag me to a stinking dungeon; what care I? I've spoke the truth, and so I'll hold hard, and not intrude upon your Highness's society." And the miller reined up and, clumsily enough, saluted. "You will observe, I have not asked your name," said Otto. "I wish you a good ride," and he rode on hard.
Moses and Elias, when they appeared on the holy mount, told Jesus of the sufferings which he should accomplish at Jerusalem. The saints are sprinkled by the hand of God here and there, as salt is sprinkled upon meat to keep it from stinking.
What, Madam Stella, shall not a stinking pride be taught its place by the Church? I'll give the hussy her lesson." That very day, my Lady Mary sitting to embroidery on the great terrace in the shade, and I holding her threads, she threw Mr Swift a word as he past, to ask the name of the nymph that was turned to a bush to escape the pursuit of Apollo; for that was the subject of her needle.
