He begins to walk dreamily round the place at Easter. At Whitsuntide he brings down an iron vessel containing unmelted solder, and early in July the pump is mended. This mending of the pump is one of the epochs of Hythe, a sure harbinger of the approaching season.
If you remained unmelted by all this, my next visit to Boston which I am sorry to say cannot occur as soon as I would like to have it would almost certainly see my calls confined to insurance agents and lawyers or perhaps to the mythical other person referred to in your letter. "For the other person is purely mythical, as you must some day know.
In the upper portion of this amphitheater large patches of snow still remain unmelted during the summer. My examination of these two glaciers, however, was very cursory. I hasten on, therefore, to others which I traced more carefully. Lake Tahoe lies countersunk on the very top of the Sierra.
At four a.m. the ascent was resumed, and a second esplanade, called the Alta Vista, was soon reached, beyond which all trace of a path disappears, the rest of the ascent being over rough lava as far as the Chahorra Cone, with here and there, in the shade, patches of unmelted snow.
Snow had fallen during the earlier hours of the day, and, the surface of the ground being frost-bound, it, though by no means deep, remained unmelted.
As a bird, when it first finds itself in its bright new cage, darts hither and thither, trying the bars in turn to see if it cannot get through them and fly again into the open, so Heidi continued to run backwards and forwards, trying to open first one and then the other of the windows, for she felt she could not bear to see nothing but walls and windows, and somewhere outside there must be the green grass, and the last unmelted snows on the mountain slopes, which Heidi so longed to see.
His heart was a vase filled with boiling passions, while his will, a still, cold, unmelted lump of ice, lay at the bottom. Self-denial is not peculiar to Christians. He who goes downward often puts forth as much force to kill a noble nature as another does to annihilate a sinful one.
Between two sandhills the Bengali lay supine, a huddled heap of garish colour scarlet, yellow, tan against the cold bluish-grey of snow. A veil of unmelted flakes blurred his heavy, contorted features and his small, black eyes eyes as evil now, staring glassily up to the zenith, as when quickened by his malign intelligence.
Nothing daunted, the crocuses, hyacinths, and tulips pushed upward their succulent leaves with steady resolution. In the woods the flowers had all kinds of experiences. On the north side of Storm King it was still winter, with great areas of December's ice unmelted. On the south side of the mountain, spring almost kept pace with the calendar.
The sun rose as I watched, gilding the pinnacles of the icebergs, which still remained fixed in the bay, casting a silvery hue over the masses of snow yet unmelted on the hills, and making stronger than ever the contrast between the pure white of the snow-covered ice, and the deep blue of the tranquil ocean.
