Section 11. Such was the outline of Thyrsis' story. He judged that it might be a very great story, or a comparatively commonplace one it all depended upon the power with which it was visioned. He must get into himself and wrestle the thing out. This was to be his act of creation his baby! It was the first time since his marriage that Thyrsis had tried really to do what he called work.
You remember how she drooped last summer? Taking her to New York has done more than give her love and happiness. She is quite another girl, so resourceful and clear visioned." "She's on her own trail, Doris, that's all. Things are right with Nancy. The rule holds." "But, David, I have not told her yet " "Told her? oh! I see about the birth mix-up?"
He had imagined bull-fighting to be something utterly distinct from what he had just witnessed; he had thought that always it would display the mastery of man over beast, and that the sword-thrusts would flash like lightning; that every moment of the struggle would bring forth something interesting and suggestive; and instead of a spectacle such as he had visioned, instead of a gory apotheosis of valour and strength, he beheld a petty, filthy thing, a medley of cowardice and intestines, a celebration in which one saw nothing but the torero's fear and the cowardly cruelty of the public taking pleasure in the throb of that fear.
She shivered when he left her, shuddered with a terrible little cry which she tried to choke back even as she visioned the first glow of that wonderful new life that was dawning for her. David knew why. He left her without looking down into her eyes again, anxious to have these last terrible minutes over. At the open door of the cabin he hesitated, a little sick at what he knew he would see.
Had she not visioned these sorrows and these priceless joys, when as yet unable to understand them? Indeed, sometimes there seemed no break between then and now. She longed unconsciously for what was now come, that was all. Everything had befallen so naturally, so inevitably, step by step, a rising from vision to vision. Would the future perfect her life's progress? But Lydia was not forgotten.
It was the little window that brought them back to the tragedy of their flight. Kent visioned it as it must look from the shore a telltale blotch of light traveling through the darkness. There were occasional cabins for several miles below the Landing, and eyes turned riverward in the storm might see it. He made his way to the window and fastened his slicker over it.
The pictures of the different valleys suitable for ranch sites, scattered here and there over his extensive range, traveled through his mind in kaleidoscopic procession and he visioned a squatter outfit established on every one. If they locked him up at this time he was lost. He nodded slowly. "Well, I guess you've got me," he said. "I don't see that it will amount to much, anyway.
Here was, again, a loveliness perceived in twilight, a beauty not clearly visioned. "Yet am not I a monstrous clever fellow," he would console himself, "to take them all in so completely? It is a joke to which, I think, I do full justice." So Jurgen abode among these persons to whom life was a high-hearted journeying homeward.
"It is the mind that makes the man, and our strength measure vigor" any one of the three words would do "our measure is in our immortal souls." Why why is there truth in books? Had Ovid lived and been a man, a man who knew and fought it out himself? Will Shakespeare caught sight of a great and glorious kingdom he had not visioned before. The schoolmaster hitherto had talked in riddles.
"Let her buck." From the cook-shack door the girl viewed these preparations, then turned her eyes to the flat and visioned it with a carpet of rippling hay. There was a clatter of hoofs and a rattling of gravel as five horsemen put their sure-footed mounts down the steep slope two hundred yards back of the house and followed along the fence of the corral.
