It was again her purpose to present the appearance of defending herself against a viewless power, yet she was wholly unlike the Niobe whom she had formerly personated, for not only anguish, horror, and defiance, but deep despair and inexpressible astonishment were portrayed by her features, which obediently expressed the slightest emotion.
I doubt I may not tell you here of the anxieties and the fears, of the hopes and the self-sacrifices all, perhaps small in the tangible effect as the widow's mite, yet not the less marked by the viewless angels who go about continually among us which varied Libbie's life before she accomplished her purpose. It is enough to say it was accomplished.
How incalculable how measureless how viewless the consequences of one crime, even when we think we have weighed them all with scales that would have turned with a hair's weight! Yes; before I had felt no remorse. I felt it now. I had acknowledged no crime, and now crime seemed the essence itself of my soul.
For Earth levels all who have known her and loved her, And the soul fares forth where the great stars guide On the viewless path of the calling waters Out to Hy-Brasail upon the tide! Eleanor and Roger sat together in their own especial loop-hole window.
I suppose five minutes might have elapsed, and the hush remained unbroken; ten and there was no sound. Many present began, doubtless, to wonder for what Monsieur waited; as well they might. Voiceless and viewless, stirless and wordless, he kept his station behind the pile of flowers. At last there issued forth a voice, rather deep, as if it spoke out of a hollow: "Est-ce la tout?"
She even looked up toward the high sun and wondered what kind of sailor science would compel him to divulge his relations with a certain wooden gate.

"Ay, but to die," cries Claudio in Measure for Measure: "Ay, but to die, and go we know not where; To lie in cold obstruction, and to rot; This sensible warm motion to become A kneaded clod; and the delighted spirit To bathe in fiery floods, or to reside In thrilling regions of thick-ribbed ice; To be imprison'd in the viewless winds, And blown with restless violence round about The pendant world; or to be worse than worst Of those that lawless and incertain thoughts Imagine howling!"
Here, those viewless ministers of health the fresh winds of heaven had no free play; and poor human nature inhaled destruction from the poisonous effluvia that festered there.
With viewless, impalpable energy, the mighty breath of God swept across the ancient world and 'laid the lofty city' of paganism 'low; even to the ground, and brought it even to the dust. A breath passed over the whole civilised world, like the breath of the west wind upon the glaciers in the spring, melting the thick-ribbed ice, and wooing forth the flowers, and the world was made over again.
On the fourth side is the sea, stretching away towards a viewless boundary, blue and calm, except where the passing anger of a shadow flits across its surface, and is gone. Hitherward, a broad inlet penetrates far into the land; on the verge of the harbor, formed by its extremity, is a town; and over it am I, a watchman, all-heeding and unheeded.
