It is against you in the morning, when you start for a day's trip, and you pull a long distance, thinking how easy it will be to come back with the sail. Then, after tea, the wind veers round, and you have to pull hard in its teeth all the way home. When you forget to take the sail at all, then the wind is consistently in your favour both ways.
And Albenzaide keep thy tastes Proportioned to thy state; For oft from unrestrained desires Spring hopes infatuate. Flee from thy thoughts, for they have wings, Whose light ambition lifts Thy soul to empty altitudes, Where purpose veers and drifts. Fling not thyself into the sea, From which the breezes blow Now with abrupt disdain, and now With flattering whispers low.
But the focus of the gardening scheme is at the southeasterly side entrance of the house. To this the drive comes on unrigorous lines from the street. The walk curves away a few steps earlier to go to the front door but the drive, passing on, swings in under the rear corner windows and to the kitchen steps, veers around by the carriage-house door and so loops back into itself.
They veers so far from time and place that, although most of them related to our country and epoch, I could not imagine anything approximate from them; and Hawthorne himself seemed a remote and impalpable agency, rather than a person whom one might actually meet, as not long afterward happened with me.
"See how it veers to and fro back and forth and back and forth it goes again. If either side were winning it would all go one way. Do you know how long we have been here watching?" "I have no idea whatever." He looked at his watch and then pointed upward at the heavens where in the zenith a film of light appeared through the blur of cloud and smoke. "There's the sun," he said; "it's noon.
If he makes it in an old iron pot, so much the better, for then you can move it around to the windward when the breeze veers, and carry it into your tent without risk of setting everything on fire, and even take it with you in the canoe while you are fishing. Some of the pleasantest pictures in the angler's gallery of remembrance are framed in the smoke that rises from a smudge.
Even then it is sometimes terrific enough; but how much more so when the wind veers and the mighty waves come rolling in one after another, and breaking with tremendous force upon the rocks on which we stand! So it was with this preacher. All eyes were fixed on him when he gave out his text, and proceeded with his usual introduction.
"Between five and six miles, as near as I can calculate." "Will they be able to run in by dark?" "I think so. You see, the wind is shifting, and it depends a good bit on how much it veers around," concluded the old sailor. Slowly the sun sank in the west. It was growing cloudy and a mist was rising. The mist made Martin Harris shake his head; but, not wishing to alarm the others, he said nothing.
"One, who agrees with every one, for the pleasure of speaking their sentiments for them so fond of talking that he does not contradict only because he can't wait to hear people out. "A tripping casuist, who veers by others' breath, and gets on to information by tacking between the two sides like a hoy, not made to go straight before the wind.
So soon as the wind veers, they will be beyond Guy's reach; and if I were to stand on my guard against every man who loved thy father better than mine, what good would my life do me? The poor knaves will be true enough when they see a Saracen before them!" And away went Edward, to be glanced at as he passed through the camp, as a severe, hard, cruel tyrant.
