Dust lay thick on the unswept floor. Nathan needed her. She would win her way back to his heart. "Uncle Nate, I don't blame you one bit if you aren't nice to me. I haven't deserved it, but " "I guess you needn't 'Uncle Nate' me any more," he said when she paused. His speech was bitter and full of animosity, but it was better than his compelling silence.
Only for the real will I with the ideal part: Another shall not even tempt my heart. When I saw her just four weeks since, I knew her, And my heart responded as, with unseen wings, An angel touched its unswept strings, And whispers in its song, Where hast thou strayed so long?"
It seemed to me that it was extremely likely, from the general character of the sonnet, that a particular play was meant, and that the play was none other but Romeo and Juliet. Not marble, nor the gilded monuments Of princes, shall outlive this powerful rhyme; But you shall shine more bright in these contents Than unswept stone besmear'd with sluttish time.
'Thou wast a God that forgavest them, and Thou didst inflict retribution for their inventions. He does leave much of these outward issues unswept away by His forgiveness, and the great law stands, 'Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap. And yet the pardon that you and I need, and which we can all have for the asking, flows to us unchecked and full the great stream of the love of God, to whom we are reconciled, when we turn to Him in penitent dependence on the blood and righteousness of Jesus Christ, our Lord.
My father in one of his best explanatory moods in eager pursuit of a metaphysical point into the very regions, where clouds and thick darkness would soon have encompassed it about; my uncle Toby in one of the finest dispositions for it in the world; his head like a smoke-jack; the funnel unswept, and the ideas whirling round and round about in it, all obfuscated and darkened over with fuliginous matter!
But it was the paucity of men for the defence which oppressed me most. As I took my way about the head of the Mountain, inspecting all points, the emptiness of the place smote me like a succession of blows. The groves, once so trim, were now shaggy and unpruned. Wind had whirled the leaves in upon the temple floors, and they lay there unswept.
The open hall, though lofty, is shabby and extremely dirty, with an unswept broken pavement, littered at one side with potsherds, and disfigured by a number of more or less broken black pots as well as other rubbish, making it look rather like a shed in an untidy nursery garden than an imperial judgment-hall.
She had found the house unoccupied when she arrived; there was evidence that her father had left shortly after breakfast for the dishes were unwashed and the floor unswept two duties that he always had performed, knowing that in the morning she had a ten-mile ride before her. But she had done little else.
Beyond the kitchen was a large bedroom, her children, she explained, sleeping upstairs. Both rooms were smoke-dried to the colour of mahogany, unswept and very untidy, but the good woman seemed quite sensible of these disadvantages and apologized on account of narrow space. A large supply of clothes hung upon pegs in the bed-chamber, and it possessed also a very handsome old upright clock.
A deal table, three wooden chairs, some ragged curtains drawn back from the window, and a single lamp made up the furniture. The boards of the floor were bare and unswept; the paint peeled in strips from the panels of the walls; the discoloured ceiling was hung with cobwebs; the room in a word matched the outward aspect of the house in its look of long disuse. Yet it had occupants.
