"He struck the mainmast with his hand, The foremast with his knee " All that he had been and all that he had done, if man were only something more than man, if devil's luck and devil's power would come to his whistle, if the seed of his nature could defy the iron stricture of the flesh, reaching its height, shooting up into a terrible upas-tree so for the moment Baldry saw himself.
He saw the other was like an animal ready to spring and anxious to spring, the one evident stricture on his desire being that there was nothing to spring at unless it was himself. "What happened last night?" he asked. Keith's mind was already working swiftly. McDowell's question gave him the opportunity of making the first play against Shan Tung.
He growled incoherently; he was reduced by fear and pain to the level of a beast, and, beast-like, he fought for his life with hands and feet, only the possession of the prehensile thumb, perhaps, preventing him from using his teeth; for Ross, unable to avoid his next blind lunge, went down, with the whole two hundred pounds of Foster on top of him, and felt the stricture of his clutch on his throat.

She stood with one silver slipper poised on the stairs, a sweet, guilty look on her face. "O Cloudy! I thought you were asleep, and I didn't want to waken you," she said, penitently; "but you haven't gone to bed yet, have you? I'm glad. We wanted you to know we were home." "Is anything the matter?" Julia Cloud asked with a stricture of emotion in her throat.
"He has a talent of the hospital," growled Field in the intervals between his wine drinking, pipe smoking and the washing of his linen the latter economical habit he contracted from Clementi. There is some truth in his stricture. Chopin, seldom exuberantly cheerful, is morbidly sad and complaining in many of the nocturnes.
Most skilful surgeons are misled by its cunning into believing and pronouncing able-bodied young women to be victims of spinal disease, "stricture of the oesophagus," "gastrodynia," "paraplegia," "hemiplegia," and hundreds of other affections, with longer or shorter names.
