All the while the horses cropped, Garth strode ceaselessly up and down, biting his lips; while the white-faced boy, who had not spoken all morning, sat holding his bursting head between his hands; and Rina, crouching apart, gazed over the prairie with unseeing eyes.
Hugh was breathing fast; he had evidently fled across the snow at top speed. "Get in, then, quick out of sight." Pete was already tearing up boards above that long-waiting place of hiding. Hugh was about to step down into it when he glanced up and saw Sylvie. She was standing as the unseeing stand in moments of frightened bewilderment, her hands clasped, her head turning from side to side.
In their blind, unseeing rushes they collided with each other, and a score of fierce passions leaped to life within them, chief of which was a lust for war. Madly, savagely, senselessly, neither knowing or caring with whom they fought, they stabbed and shot, and clawed and scratched, and boxed and wrestled with each other.
Hath left me in sorrow and love distraught, * Unseen and unseeing, that fairest may: She promised me grace, then jilted and said, * 'The promise of night is effaced by day!" Then Abu Mus'ab came forward and recited these couplets, "When wilt thou be wise and love-heat allay * That from food and sleeping so leads astray?
As Butler puts it in one of his sonnets: He who gave eyes to ears and showed in sound All thoughts and things in earth or heaven above From fire and hailstones running along the ground To Galatea grieving for her love He who could show to all unseeing eyes Glad shepherds watching o'er their flocks by night, Or Iphis angel-wafted to the skies, Or Jordan standing as an heap upright And so on.
Once a wave leaped over the stern, stunning them with its thunderous impact, dragging at them powerfully, as though to draw them back into the sea whence it came. Plunging thus, helpless, unseeing, they seemed to be flying as swiftly as the wind. A wild ride to where? Were they driving out into the lonely heart of the deep, there to perish in a last long dive?
It was with a most transparent effort that she managed to infuse life into her conversation. There were times when she stood staring out over the sea with unseeing eyes, and one knew that she was not thinking of the ocean. More than once Genevra had caught her watching Deppingham with eyes that spoke volumes, though they were mute and wistful.
Here was something not the serpent, yet so much more than a mere picture of it; a dead and cast-off part of it, but in its completeness, from the segmented mask with the bright unseeing eyes, to the fine whip-like tail end, so like the serpent itself; I could handle it, handle the serpent as it were, yet be in no danger from venomous tooth or stinging tongue.
The two men stared at each other with unseeing eyes, neither conscious, it would seem, of the other's presence. The circumstances called for prompt action, for swift decision, for keen and subtle energy, yet they were silent, helpless, looking into vacancy, and seeing visions.
But Miss Carmichael looked with unseeing eyes; the whirling prairie with its golden flecks of cactus bloom was but part of the universal strangeness, and the dull ache of homesickness was in it all. "My dear! my dear!"—a head in crimpers was thrust from between the curtains of the section opposite—"I’ve been awake half the night. I was so afraid I wouldn’t see you before you got off."
