One point in her favor is that while she sent tens of thousands of her sons to fight, her own territory escaped the scar and ravage of battle. All the fighting in Africa, so far as the Union was concerned, was in German South-West Africa and German East Africa. After my years in tempest-tossed Europe it was a pleasant change to catch the buoyant, confident, unwearied spirit of South Africa.
Oh, Agnes, Agnes! dear lily! fair lamb! lead a sinner into the green pastures where thou restest!" So wrestled the strong nature, tempest-tossed in its strength, so slept the trustful, blessed in its trust, then in Italy, as now in all lands.
She raised her colorless face, and said drearily, as she passed her hand over her forehead: "Weary? Ah, yes; weary as the lonely mariner, tempest-tossed on some pathless ocean, without chart or compass. In my sky, even the star of hope is shrouded. Weary? Yes; in body and mind." "Then humble your proud intellect; confess your ignorance and inability, and rest in God and Christianity."
The men had angered him. He was sore put about. Poor Willy, he suffers much. Yet it was cruel; it was cruel, indeed it was." Rotha walked across the kitchen and again took hold of the rannel-tree.

And arrive she did, that tempest-tossed, crippled, ice-bound, and half-burned little craft, after roaming over an extent of ocean that would have made up half a dozen ordinary sea voyages.

And to Isis in her later character of patroness of mariners the Virgin Mary perhaps owes her beautiful epithet of Stella Maris, "Star of the Sea," under which she is adored by tempest-tossed sailors. The attributes of a marine deity may have been bestowed on Isis by the sea-faring Greeks of Alexandria.
And while the floor of the drawing-room seemed rocking with him, like the deck of a tempest-tossed ship, he heard the words of his host whirling through his brain: "Madame, permit me to present to you Count de Volaski of St. Petersburg; Count, the Duchess of Hereward." "Madame, permit me to present to you Count de Volaski, of St.
"Stay, Dorothy, stay!" cried Madge. "Think on what you are about to do. It will cost John his life. Come to me for one moment, Dorothy, I pray you." Madge arose from the bed and began groping her way toward Dorothy, who was unbolting the door. Madge could have calmed the tempest-tossed sea as easily as she could have induced Dorothy to pause in her mad frenzy.
