And now he was back again, a chance career ended, with option of picking up the severed threads his inheritance at the loom and of retying them, warp and weft, and continuing the pattern according to the designs of the tufted, tinted pile-yarn, knotted in by his ancestors before him. There was nothing else to do; so he did it.
There were currents and counter-currents, eddies and backwaters, and at the corner of Vine a veritable maelstrom through which two lines of electric cars pushed their way, east and weft, north and south, with incessant clanging of bells; followed by automobiles with resounding horns, trucks and delivery wagons with wheels reverberating on the granite.
And thou art little better, quoth she to the third; for nothing is there in thy panniers but trunk-hose and pantofles and so to the fourth and fifth, going on one by one through the whole string, till coming to the asse which carries it, she turns the pannier upside down, looks at it considers it samples it measures it stretches it wets it dries it then takes her teeth both to the warp and weft of it.
The greater part of the baskets are in the diagonal or twilled weave, in which each element of the weft passes over two or more warp elements. Variations are numerous, either to produce certain effects or to accommodate designs. Of these the most common are 1 under 2 over 2 etc. 2 under 2 over 2 etc. 2 under 4 over 4 etc.
"The fragment of a life, however typical, is not the sample of an even web" said George Eliot, and who knew the nature of the warp and weft of our human fabric better than she!
Other inventions quickly followed an improved loom, a machine for measuring and folding fabrics, an improvement of the "bobbin and fly frames" of the English spinners, and a weft winding-machine, with various improvements in the machinery for preparing, spinning, and weaving silk and cotton.
When the Prince and Princess rose, when they weft to bed, when they dined and supped with the ladies, all public conversations all meals all assembled were opportunities of paying court to them. The apartments could not contain the crowd. The characteristic features of the room were many.
By this means his belly is provided for, and nothing lies upon his hands but his back, which takes other courses to maintain itself by weft and stray silver spoons, straggling hoods and scarfs, pimping, and sets at L'Ombre. Is a corrector of the press gratis; and as he does it for nothing, so it is to no purpose.
The chief point about this is, that it may not have sharp angles that might catch in the warp whilst passing to and fro. The pointed end is sometimes made use of to poke between the warp-threads and press down the weft. A fresh bobbin is employed for each colour, and the wool is wound upon it two or three strands together, just as may happen to be required for the work.
And it is thanks to this balancing that the integral of life remains everywhere and always almost identical with itself. Such indeed is the economy of nature that secret relations and astonishing concordances exist throughout the whole vast weft of things. There are no loose ends; everything is consequent and ordered. Hidden harmonies meet and mingle.
