And afterwards, again yielding to the need of loving whilst yet allowing reason, so hard to satisfy, her share in his intellect, he had staked his final peace on a second experiment, and had gone to Rome to see if Catholicism could there be renewed, could revert to the spirit of primitive Christianity and become the religion of the democracy, the faith which the modern world, upheaving and in danger of death, was awaiting in order to calm down and live.
My child! Soon after another louder and more imperative call, 'The women! the women! Another disturbance, another breaking through the crowd in all directions. Then a third and more formidable cry, 'The army! the soldiers! Forward! And once more an indescribable upheaving, but simultaneous, resolute, rapid.
The duration was about one minute. My wife said to me, 'Why, what sort of express train have they got on to-day? It broke on to us, upheaving and making the earth undulate, and as it came I said, 'By Jove! that is a good earthquake. She called out, 'All the people are rushing out into the garden undressed shall we go too? I said, 'No, my girl; you and I have been in too many earthquakes to show the white feather at our age. 'All right, she answered; and I turned round and went to sleep again."
And she had sat in the cab with the young woman, who was a paintress at Peel's great manufactory at Shawport, and suffered from a weak chest; and they had talked about the potters' strike which was then upheaving the district, and the cab had overtaken a procession of thinly clad potters, wending in the bitter mist to a mass meeting at Hanbridge; and Hilda had been thereby much impressed and angered against all employers.
A high wind came roaring up from the bosom of the waters, and over all gathered a world of lurid gloom, kindled fiercely red by the sun when it went down, and slowly engulfed the ship, which was last seen struggling fearfully in the wild upheaving of the elements. North seemed possessed of a demon that night.
And so it was that, from the first, Tolstoy brought with him a disturbing and incalculable magic an upheaving force, like leaven stirring in the dough, or like a sword in unconditioned and unchartered peace.

Follow me not, but remember!" And therewith she turned about and fled like the wind down the stream. But Walter stood wondering, and knew not what to make of it, whether it were for good or ill: for he knew now that she had paled and been seized with terror because of the upheaving of the ugly head; and yet she had seemed to speak out the very thing she had to say.
Or rather, by the upheaving force which causes earthquakes, when it acts in a single shock, cracking the earth's crust by an explosion; but which acts, too, slowly and quietly, uplifting day by day, and year by year, some portions of the earth's surface, and letting others sink down; as in the case of the valley of the Jordan and the Dead Sea, which is now 1,300 feet below the level of the Mediterranean.
But when we find them associated with such passages as these then we find that our former theory will not do, for here are deeper and broader foundations to build upon. We discover that Lady Macbeth was an unbeliever morally, and so found it necessary to keep down all imagination, which is the upheaving of that inward world whose very being she would have annihilated.
Some of us remember when the science of geology was young and we were young too we remember how there was a certain romance and fascination about those fearless and richly imaginative theories which explained all the great changes in the crust of the earth by magnificent cataclysms, upheaving, exploding, overwhelming. The crack of doom meant something after all! What had been should be again.
