The man carrying the hod to the top of the walls that rankly grow and grow as from his life's blood, will only lay down his load when he feels the mortal glare of the sun blaze in upon heart and brain; the plethoric millionaire for whom he toils will plot and plan in his office till he swoons at the desk; the trembling beast must stagger forward while the flame-faced tormentor on the box has strength to lash him on; in all those vast palaces of commerce there are ceaseless sale and purchase, packing and unpacking, lifting up and laying down, arriving and departing loads; in thousands of shops is the unspared and unsparing weariness of selling; in the street, filled by the hurry and suffering of tens of thousands, is the weariness of buying.
When this fiery element is too abundant in man, whilst he is labouring under certain diseases, it plunges him into delirium; when it is in too weak or in too small a quantity, he swoons, he sinks to the earth. This igneous matter diminishes in his old age it totally dissipates at his death.
I heard the grating of a dagger in its sheath and the distant baying of the death-hounds." "And what have you seen, Shaman?" she asked again, "looking through the Gate you guard?" "Strange sight, Khania, my niece. But men awake from swoons."

Dante swoons at every turn in his journey through hell, and nothing paints better the violence of his emotions and the ardor of his piety. ... And intense joy?

Give her wounds water: I will bathe them and catch on my lips the last breath that haply yet lingers. So speaking she had climbed the high steps, and, wailing, clasped and caressed her half-lifeless sister in her bosom, and stanched the dark streams of blood with her gown. She, essaying to lift her heavy eyes, swoons back; the deep-driven wound gurgles in her breast.
Sugar paste may be used if preferred. Little tartlets are made in the same way, only baked in tins and turned out. SWOONS. In a swooning fit, the patient should immediately be exposed to the open air, and the face and neck sprinkled with cold water. Pungent odours, or volatile spirits, should be held to the nostrils, and the feet rubbed with hot flannels, or put into warm water.
If bereft of a great part of memory, it swoons or sleeps; and when its memory returns, we say it has returned to life. Life and death, then, should be memory and forgetfulness, for we are dead to all that we have forgotten. Life is that property of matter whereby it can remember. Matter which can remember is living; matter which cannot remember is dead.
