We shall soon have seen the last snow-shower, and have passed up into the companionship of Him whose raiment is exceeding white as snow as no fuller on earth can whiten it. To the right-hearted, the winter nights of earth will soon end in the June morning of heaven. The River of God, from under the Throne, never freezes over. The foliage of Life's fair tree is never frost-bitten.
"I saw your knuckles whiten beneath the skin.... Who was it?" "Hobbs," he acknowledged bitterly; "the mate of the Alethea." "I know.... And you think ?" "Yes. He must have been ashore when I was on board the brigantine; he certainly wasn't in the cabin.
The light was so strong upon him that I could see his lips whiten." "Or was it fancy, doctor?" "Fancy? No, my lad, that was no fancy; and I hope we have not many more like him in the regiment." "Well, for my part," said Captain Smithers, quietly, "I have often wished that my company was composed of Adam Grays." "Adam, eh? To be sure; I remember the fellow now.
A misty radiance washes the tall houses, the garden-walls, the archways, even the moonlight does not whiten Fez, but only turns its gray to tarnished silver. Overhead in a tower window a single light twinkles: women's voices rise and fall on the roofs. In a rich man's doorway slaves are sleeping, huddled on the tiles. A cock crows from somebody's dunghill, a skeleton dog prowls by for garbage.
Is it your youth that gives you pause? And would you spare those youthful locks? Never allow them to whiten if they are not white to-night. "And then what would you do in the world? If you go away, where will you go? What can you hope for if you remain? Ah! in looking at that woman you seem to have a treasure buried in your heart.
Time itself seems to lose its power over him. Years do not affect his constitution, nor age whiten his hair. Never was he seen to take any food. Never did he approach a woman. No sleep closes his eyes. Of the twenty-four hours in the day there is only one which he cannot command; during which no person ever saw him, and during which he never was employed in any terrestrial occupation."
They glozed his faults and made virtues out of his close-grained traits; they praised and lamented, with sighs and mournful words, but Isom's widow could not weep. Ollie wished they would go away and let her sleep. She longed for them to put out the lamps and let the moonlight come in through the window and whiten on the floor, and bring her soft thoughts of Morgan.
Then do thou say, 'O my lord, at great expense I set it in repair, for that I saw it in ruins and none could make use of it nor could anyone sit therein. If he says, 'Whence hadst thou the money for this? reply, 'I spent of my own money upon the stucco, thereby thinking to whiten my face with thee and hoping for thy bounties. And needs must he recompense thee fairly over the extent of thine expenses.
Twice vanquished in pitched battle, we scarce guard in our city walls the hopes of Italy: the streams of Tiber yet run warm with our blood, and our bones whiten the boundless plain. Why fall I away again and again? what madness bends my purpose? if I am ready to take them into alliance after Turnus' destruction, why do I not rather bar the strife while he lives?
Chrissy came tripping out, and addressed him with some sharpness "That is not right, Mr. Spottiswoode; you will never whiten your belt in that way, you will only soil the rest of your clothes. I watched the old sergeant doing it next-door for Major Christison. Look here:" and she took the article out of his hands, and proceeded smartly to clean it.
