I touch'd upon the string on which hung all her sorrows: she look'd with wistful disorder for some time in my face; and then, without saying any thing, took her pipe and play'd her service to the Virgin. The string I had touched ceased to vibrate; in a moment or two Maria returned to herself, let her pipe fall, and rose up. And where are you going, Maria? said I. She said, to Moulines.
'The blossom opening to the day, The dews of heaven refin'd, Could nought of purity display, To emulate his mind. 'The dew, the blossom on the tree, With charms inconstant shine; Their charms were his, but woe to me, Their constancy was mine. 'For still I try'd each fickle art, Importunate and vain; And while his passion touch'd my heart, I triumph'd in his pain.
The blast came rustling through the hall, and gently touch'd my harp. The sound was mournful and low, like the song of the tomb. Fingal heard it the first. The crowded sighs of his bosom rose. Some of my heroes are low, said the gray-hair'd king of Morven. I hear the sound of death on the harp. Ossian, touch the trembling string.
And what is as yet unexplain'd, and to myself the Argument of some Horrid and Artfull Designe in the Perpetrators of this Barbarous Murther, was this, that the Women which were entrusted with the laying-out of the Corpse and washing it, being both sad Pearsons and very well Respected in their Mournfull Profession, came to me in a great Pain and Distress both of Mind and Body, saying, what was indeed confirmed upon the first View, that they had no sooner touch'd the Breast of the Corpse with their naked Hands than they were sensible of a more than ordinary violent Smart and Acheing in their Palms, which, with their whole Forearms, in no long time swell'd so immoderately, the Pain still continuing, that, as afterwards proved, during many weeks they were forc'd to lay by the exercise of their Calling; and yet no mark seen on the Skin.
With various stores of erudition fraught, The lively image, the deep-searching thought, Slept in repose; but when the moment press'd, The bright ideas stood at once confess'd; Instant his genius sped its vigorous rays, And o'er the letter'd world diffus'd a blaze: As womb'd with fire the cloud electrick flies, And calmly o'er th' horizon seems to rise; Touch'd by the pointed steel, the lightning flows, And all th' expanse with rich effulgence glows.
Foot-sore, way-worn, at length he touch'd his goal, The Christian city." Akbar's Dream may be taken, more or less, to represent the poet's own theology of a race seeking after God, if perchance they may find Him, and the closing Hymn was a favourite with Tennyson. He said, "It is a magnificent metre": Once again thou flamest heavenward, once again we see thee rise.
How the communication was conveyed into Slawkenbergius's sensorium so that Slawkenbergius should know whose finger touch'd the key and whose hand it was that blew the bellows as Hafen Slawkenbergius has been dead and laid in his grave above fourscore and ten years we can only raise conjectures.
My uncle Toby, tho' in the utmost distress for a comparison, most courteously refused Trim's offer till Trim telling him, he had half a dozen more in Bohemia, which he knew not how to get off his hands my uncle Toby was so touch'd with the pleasantry of heart of the corporal that he discontinued his dissertation upon gun-powder and begged the corporal forthwith to go on with his story of the King of Bohemia and his seven castles.
We are all brought into the light that we may impart light. 'Heaven doth with us as we with torches do; Not light them for themselves; for if our virtues Did not go forth of us, 'twere all alike As if we had them not. Spirits are not finely touch'd But to fine issues. II. And now turn to the second thought which I desire to draw from these words.
I have fancied, I say, some such venerable relic of this time of ours, preserv'd to the next or still the next generation of America. I have fancied, on such occasion, the young men gathering around; the awe, the eager questions: "What! have you seen Abraham Lincoln and heard him speak and touch'd his hand? Have you, with your own eyes, look'd on Grant, and Lee, and Sherman?"
