Vast, built of wood, dishevelled, with broken statues and blurred coats of arms, with its empty scene, its uncurling frescoes, its hangings all in rags, its cobwebs of two centuries, its dust and mildew and discoloured gold this theatre, a sham in its best days, and now that ugliest of things, a sham unmasked and naked to the light of day, is yet sublime, because of its proportioned harmony, because of its grand Roman manner.
These gracious things, uncurling themselves hour by hour, blooming, fading, in obedience to the strange instinct of life, surprised him by a sudden thrill.
Through the rough turf the bracken pushed upward, uncurling sturdy croziers of brownish green.
I leaves it all to you." His tone was rich with conciliation and concession; he bent over and tore a pair of button boots from his bare feet, which he stretched towards the fire, painfully uncurling his toes. "I hope you take a larger size than them," said he. "I'd have had a see if you'd given me time. I wasn't in long afore you." "And you won't tell me how you got in?" "Wot's the use?
In all this I see a manifestation of delight. We rub our hands when rejoicing at a success; the Ammophila is celebrating her triumph over the monster in her own fashion. During this fit of delirious joy, what is the wounded caterpillar doing? It can no longer walk; but all the part behind the thorax struggles violently, curling and uncurling when the Ammophila sets a foot upon it.
The uncurling fists were outflung passionately. "I can't! I can't!" cried Pemrose Lorry, choking upon her own wishbone. "I I'm not in the humor for it for foolery! I must go on right on and search! This this is the shortest trail down the mountain, if it's the roughest I know that!" She looked desperately at old Andrew.
Because she's very happy as she is, her face has all the lovely beauty of perfect content and I'd rather do anything than trouble her peace." There followed a pause. The fire crackled and burned with a warm Christmas glow, and Charlie, uncurling his soft silky body, stretched out each one of his tiny paws separately, with slow movements expressive of intense comfort.
She likened herself so bravely to the other children of her Mother to the stars, to the fair birch-trees, where emerald showers now twinkled down over the silver stems, to the uncurling fronds of the fern, to the little trout in the coomb-stream; and yet she was not content as they were.
He loved best an aimless wending from haunt to haunt, an accumulation of small treasures in places unknown to others; and most of all the rich sense of observation of a hundred curious and delicate things; the nests of birds in the shrubbery, the glossy cones of the young pines, the green, uncurling fingers of the bracken, the fresh green sword-grass that grew beneath the firs; he did not care to know the nature or the reasons of these things; it was enough simply to see them, to explore them with restless fingers, to recognise their scents, hues, and savours, with the sharp and unblunted perceptions of childhood.
It will be seen to have turned some way around the stem, and finally may be seen to make a complete revolution in the direction opposite to the screw, and thereby demonstrating the fact of its uncurling. The cause of this phenomenon is to be sought in the intimate connection of the basal parts of the leaves, which we have detailed above.
