"If the Meneaska likes the pipe," asked The Whirlwind, "why does he not keep it?" Such a pipe among the Ogallalla is valued at the price of a horse. A princely gift, thinks the reader, and worthy of a chieftain and a warrior. The Whirlwind's generosity rose to no such pitch. He gave me the pipe, confidently expecting that I in return should make him a present of equal or superior value.
The bad spirits are all in your imagination; they will keep a respectful distance from us, I promise you." "Glad to hear you speak up, uncle," said Sidney, "for unless we overcome Whirlwind's prejudice against carrying any of these wonderful things home with us, to give occular proof of what we saw, every one will think our account exaggerated.
He could hear the soft impact of Whirlwind's hoof now and then as he shifted his position and continued nibbling the grass. The night wind sighed around the massive rock, fanning the blaze, and sometimes rising to a moan as it careered upward and swirled about the stupendous peaks towering near at hand.
Still to and fro you fare, a moving shadow through a narrow gloom, walled in with stone. Awful is this unnatural sanity of intellect: it is like the calm in the whirlwind's centre, where the waves run higher though the air is deadly still, and the surly mariner wishes the mad wind back again. To and fro you flit, goaded on and strengthened by untiring anguish.
On the moor was a throng of phantoms flitting on Petru's right and left hand, before and behind him. "Don't be afraid," said the bay. "Those are the Whirlwind's daughters; they are dancing in the air, waiting for the moon eater." So they reached Holy Friday's house. "Dismount and enter," said the bay. Petru was about to do what he had been told.
Do I know the whirlwind's roads?" "Was the letter signed with your name?" "No; but don't you think I will acknowledge my handwriting?" replied Bagger, quite earnestly. This earnestness with reference to an obligation which no one understood became comical; and Bagger felt at the moment that he was on the brink of the ridiculous.
The whirlwind's rage is past, and we now shall subdue our enemies without doubt. On Monday morning, when your friends are at breakfast, they will not suspect your departure, or even mistrust me being in town, as it has been reported advantageously that I have left for the west.
After the battle the entire tribe with the exception of the Whirlwind's band made peace with the Government; the remnant of the latter with which she remained, escaping into the mountains. But fate had doomed the little fleeing band to extermination.
Nature, awakening from her still repose, Shudders responsive to the whirlwind's shock Feels at her mighty heart convulsive throes; Her groaning forests to earth's bosom rock. But, hark! what means that hollow rushing sound, That breaks the sudden stillness of the morn? Red forked lightnings fiercely glare around: What crashing thunders on the winds are borne!
But when I turn to the following stanza in The Thorn: "At all times of the day and night This wretched woman thither goes; And she is known to every star, And every wind that blows And there, beside the Thorn, she sits, When the blue day-light's in the skies, And when the whirlwind's on the hill, Or frosty air is keen and still, And to herself she cries, Oh misery! Oh misery! Oh woe is me!
