The visit of Tomo Chichi to England was greeted in some beautiful poetry, of which the following stanza is an extract: "What stranger this? and from what region far? This wonderous form, majestic to behold? Unclothed, yet armed offensive for the war, In hoary age, and wise experience old? His limbs inured to hardiness and toil, His strong large limbs, what mighty sinews brace!
If I had been a moderately good otter I suppose I should get back into human shape of some sort; probably something rather primitive a little brown, unclothed Nubian boy, I should think." "I wish you would be serious," sighed Amanda; "you really ought to be if you're only going to live till Tuesday." As a matter of fact Laura died on Monday.
"And did you," continued the lady in the same sepulchral tone, "did you note how that man that beacon, if I may use the expression, set up as a warning to deter all wilful boys and men from reckless, and wicked, and wandering, and obstreperous courses did you note, I say, how that man, that beacon, was shipwrecked, and spent a dreary existence on an uninhabited and dreadful island, in company with a low, dissolute, black, unclothed companion called Friday?"
To the aged saint "the trees clap their hands, the little hills rejoice, and the mountains break forth into singing;" and when the earth is empty of every other sentient pleasure, it is in the beauty of its sights and sounds, still full to him of the glory of his God. And so must it be for ever! The glorified saint is not "unclothed," but "clothed upon."
"Tamara," said Mrs. Hardcastle, when they were safely descending the further sand-path, with no unclothed young giant in view, "did you see there was a man in that chair? What a dreadful person to be lying on the balcony undressed!" "I never noticed," said Tamara, without a blush. "I am surprised at you having looked, Millie when this view is so fine."
She could take no action of any kind till her husband's return. Lingard's warnings were not what had impressed her most. This man had presented his innermost self unclothed by any subterfuge. There were in plain sight his desires, his perplexities, affections, doubts, his violence, his folly; and the existence they made up was lawless but not vile.
"You would make a lovely picture, even dressed," I returned, musing; "but then of course it would not sell for half the price." "Nothing is really snapped at but the nude. That lovely landscape I painted when I was young and foolish, it took me two years to work it off, and the veriest little daub of an unclothed girl goes directly at a hundred guineas."
The women wore graceful head-dresses of long braids of hair and flowers, with pearls in their ears. The upper parts of their bodies were unclothed, but they were amply covered from the breast downwards in native cloth stained black. Regular dramas were represented before the strangers, and the style of dancing was objectionable in the extreme.
She had some time returned from one of these inspections, and had curled herself at her master's feet, when I heard a singular and persistent tapping upon the unclothed floor, and looking round caught sight of my friend Schwartz, who was making a crouching and timid progress toward us, and was wagging his cropped tail with such vehemence that it sounded on the boards like a light hammer on a carpeted flooring.
And there were rubies hanging in strange trees, and at their feet the glamour of light dissolved, half of it perished, gone from the world, drunk up by the earth, half living on where gray walks wound like paths in a dream, between rings of spectral green, islands of dimmed, mysterious red, so transformed, so unclothed and clothed again by glamour, as to be hardly discernible as beds of geraniums in grass.
