Bravely thus for a while, but at last Themistocles, watching from the poop with eyes that nothing evaded, saw how here and there the dip of the blades was weakening, here and there a breast was heaving rapidly, a mouth was panting for air. “The relief,” he ordered. And the spare rowers ran gladly to the places of those who seemed the weariest. Only a partial respite.
"Captain Marquinez was lying in a hammock in the cool of his verandah when the gate-keeper took me to him. He was, I think, the weariest man I ever happened on. 'So you want to leave the island? said he when my tale was out. 'Yes, yes, I believe you; I've learnt to believe anything of those devils up yonder. But you must wait a fortnight, till the relief-boat arrives from Jola' "
Because we know how great her misery was, we can more fully appreciate the extent of her heroism. Though, as she confessed to her friends in her weariest moments, her heart was broken, she never once swerved from allegiance to the heaven-given mandate, as Carlyle calls it, "Work thou in well-doing!"
With some difficulty, I prevailed sufficiently over the torpor that possessed him to induce him to look at our fellow passenger. "Do you know that charming person?" I asked. "No," he replied, with the weariest indifference. "I never saw her before. I'm tired tired tired! Don't speak to me; leave me by myself." I left him.
So long as one Israelite was in the channel it remained, a silent presence, to ensure his safety. It let their rate of speed determine the length of its standing there. It waited for the slowest foot and the weariest laggard. God makes His 'very present help' of the same length as our necessities, and lets us beat the time to which He conforms.
Those days had seemed months to Bertha, the weariest months of her brief, glad life. She was standing at a window that commanded the road, her favorite post, and the only locality where she ever remained quiet for any length of time, when the carriage in which Maurice was seated drove up the avenue.
But I fear we need in some practical and non-ostentatious way now and then to remind all these European folk that we get no particular encouragement by being unduly leaned on. It is, however, the weariest Christmas in all British annals, certainly since the Napoleonic wars.
They have dogs with them: that looks as if they were hunting something. It were better that they should not come up with Edward. In another half hour he will be safe at the Priory, if he make good speed, as methinks he will; for with the hope of speedy ease and rest, even the weariest traveller plucks up heart and spirit. If they are following him, to find even me will delay them.
It had lasted too long for the patience of the Supreme Inquisition: ...even the weariest river Winds somewhere safe to sea. On September 28, 1576, a vote was taken on Luis de Leon's case.
But the mingled, mingling threads of life are woven by warp and woof: calms crossed by storms, a storm for every calm. But once gone through, we trace the round again; and are infants, boys, and men, and Ifs eternally. Where lies the final harbor, whence we unmoor no more? In what rapt ether sails the world, of which the weariest will never weary? Where is the foundling's father hidden?
