After one of his quiet moods, he slowly aroused and addressed himself in this manner: "That oath! it was a great mistake, this worst blunder I have made. In spite of myself it will haunt me. And the curse! that awful curse! Gods! will it never cease ringing in my ears! night and day, sleeping and waking it never leaves me! I see her now! How weird-like her prophetic looks!
Nothing could exceed the peculiar weird-like aspect of the scene, as we struggled under the full moonlight with the midnight gale.
