Then you hear "tap, tap," in the branches above. It is the little nuthatch hard at work scooping out his home in the bark. He sways his body with every stroke of his beak, and is so busy he takes no notice of you. The nuthatch is very fond of filberts, as his name implies.
Silvestro shakes from head to foot. One hand slides from the lock; he joins it to the other, clasps them both together, and sways himself to and fro as a man in bodily anguish. At the sight of the balance-sheet a kind of horror has come over the marchesa. So intense is this feeling, she absolutely forgets to abuse Silvestro. All she desires is to get rid of him before she has betrayed her alarm.
"Are you sure you won't despise me? I could not bear that. It seems to me that I have done such an awfully mean thing in making love to you in my own home, and then in changing." Her laugh rang out merrily. "Fate has been too strong for you, and I think I mean I hope, it has been kind. Bless you, Burt, I could never get up any such feeling as sways you.
Rather rat the Play which has no Interest. Interest sways as much in the Theatre as at Court. And you know it is not always the Companion of Merit in either." The handsome student from Leyden the potential Congreve who wrote Love in Several Masques, and had Lady Mary Wortley Montagu for patroness, might fairly be supposed to have expectations which warranted the civilities of Messrs.
He ought to do something with his life, perhaps, as his mother had so warmly urged. But his soul was stirred by no ambitious promptings. They were within two hundred yards of the gate at the end of the enclosure, when Vixen gave a sudden cry: "Did papa's horse stumble?" she asked; "look how he sways in his saddle."
I confess that I never like to compare them, one with the other, although their lives were so closely related that it is always natural to do so. Their characters were opposite; so, also, their work. One sways us by his all-compelling strength; the other draws us by his alluring charm.
And meanwhile the fat pink profile perdu, the toupé of grey hair like powder of a colossal soprano sways to and fro fatuously over the gold grating above us. All this vaguely on for a space of time seeming quite indeterminate. Little by little, however, a change came over things, or my impression of them.
I examine the earth, the air, the ocean, the heaven: I find that all have a mystic sympathy with each other that the moon sways the tides that the air maintains the earth, and is the medium of the life and sense of things that by the knowledge of the stars we measure the limits of the earth that we portion out the epochs of time that by their pale light we are guided into the abyss of the past that in their solemn lore we discern the destinies of the future.
"No," said Vaura, earnestly; "the Alpine heights are too pure and too lofty for her, she loves the heated gaslit salon, with the music of many voices; but we are all the better for an outing with Dame Nature, I do love her so, with her sunlit air, her breezy fan, her robes of green, while her children, the brook and field, sing and laugh, they are so merry and so rich; yes, I love her so, I should just like to take her in my arms; see the birds in the trees as we pass, she rocks them to sleep, for as she breathes she sways the branches to and fro, and so gives a tuneful accompanyment to their song ere they rest."
The true Christian form is elastic, like the stem of a palm-tree, which curves and sways and yields to the wind, and has the sap of life in it. If any man is sad, let him fast; 'if any man is merry, let him sing psalms. Let his ritual correspond to his spiritual emotion and conviction.
