"We swear we swear!" exclaimed every voice: and, crowding toward cross and weapon, the tapers were obscured by the intervening throng, and Montreal could not perceive the ceremony, nor hear the muttered formula of the oath: but he could guess that the rite then common to conspiracies and which required each conspirator to shed some drops of his own blood, in token that life itself was devoted to the enterprise had not been omitted, when, the group again receding, the same figure as before had addressed the meeting, holding on high the bowl with both hands, while from the left arm, which was bared, the blood weltered slowly, and trickled, drop by drop, upon the ground, said, in a solemn voice and upturned eyes: "Amidst the ruins of thy temple, O Liberty! we, Romans, dedicate to thee this libation!
Then the giant threw away his club, and caught the king in his arms, so that he crushed his ribs. Then the three maidens kneeled down and prayed for help and comfort for Arthur. And Arthur weltered and wrenched, so that he was one while under, and another time above.
The warmth was of the meagerest, and the street lamps, birds of fire in cages of glass, fluttered and danced in the prolonged gusts of the trade wind that threshed and weltered in the city streets from off the ocean. Presley entered the dining-room of the Gerard mansion with little Miss Gerard on his arm. The other guests had preceded them Cedarquist with Mrs.
For that matter the cliffs themselves, swept by the spray and humming with the roar of the beach even the bald headland towards which they curved as to the visible bourne of all things terrestrial shrank in comparison with the waste void beyond, where sky and ocean weltered together after the wrestle of a two days' storm; and in comparison with the thought that this rolling sky and heaving water stretched all the way to Europe.

At night that glowing landscape weltered there strangely, passionately, slumbering with uncovered bosom, and outspread twisted limbs, whilst heaving mighty sighs, and exhaling the strong aroma of a sweating sleeper. It was as if some mighty Cybele had fallen there beneath the moon, intoxicated with the embraces of the sun.

Full long shall be the interval betwixt the bright Utopia and the heavenly reality: the dungeon, the Storm, the death chamber and e'en the shining axe shall intervene. A great Nation shall have thrown off its old tyrants and weltered in the blood of new tyranny. What matter? The souls of the girl and the man are one, they shall be faithful unto the End!
