It rested a moment on the giant's shoulder, then it bent at the elbow, the fingers loosed, and the hammer fell. Old Christian will never be nearer to the pit of his imperial master until he stumbles over its rim. The hunchback glided by me and clapped his hand on Jud's shoulder. "Drop him," he cried. The blood of the giant was booming.
Now and then, to be sure, more by accident than by any wisdom of his own, he stumbles on some monster of the rocks, but of the sheep that he sees in his wanderings, not one in a hundred has a head so large as to make him consider it a trophy worth possessing.
Don't doubt but she got them; their mighty strength lifted her over the dark river almost dry shod. "Rests she not well whose pilgrim staff and shoon Lie in her tent for on the golden street She walks and stumbles not on roads star strewn With her unsandalled feet."
Every one who has helped to teach a child to walk has noticed that when its mother remains beside it and holds it up by the imaginary support of her hand, it steps out with confidence. If she should go several paces ahead, the child, left to itself, and overcome by the fear caused by the withdrawal of her protection, which he really does not need, hesitates, stumbles, and presently falls down.
When an unmounted horse stumbles, nature teaches him to drop his head and neck; philosophy teaches us the reason of it. During the instant that his head and neck are dropping the shoulders are relieved from their weight, and that is the instant in which the horse makes his effort to recover himself.
I have been working for some hours at my article on Mme. de Stael, but with what labor, what painful effort! When I write for publication every word is misery, and my pen stumbles at every line, so anxious am I to find the ideally best expression, and so great is the number of possibilities which open before me at every step.
The leader starts on the trail and the others, holding fast to their staffs, carefully follow, each one cautious to keep the rope stretching out in front of her rather taut; then if one girl stumbles the others brace themselves and keep her from falling. When descending the mountain, be careful to get a firm footing.
However drunk he may have been, however absurdly in a hurry act of God! If it thunder and lighten of a summer night, if it turn the milk a judgment! Luckily Monsignore has broad shoulders by all accounts; per Bacco! He had need. Now then, look at this case. A belated woman with a baby stumbles upon a company of shepherds all in the twittering dark.
What, now, is the particular point on which their attention will have to be concentrated, and what will here be the function of intelligence? To reply to these questions will be at once to come to closer grips with the problem. But here a few examples have become indispensable. A man, running along the street, stumbles and falls; the passers-by burst out laughing.
There was Flaxman, another naturally great man, with as true an eye for nature as Raphael, he stumbles over the blocks of the antique statues wanders in the dark valley of their ruins to the end of his days. He has left you a few outlines of muscular men straddling and frowning behind round shields. Much good may they do you! Another lost mind.
