Tennyson, also, in his "Palace of Art," gives us a glimpse of the royal lover expecting the interview: "Holding one hand against his ear, To list a footfall ere he saw The wood-nymph, stayed the Tuscan king to hear Of wisdom and of law." When so many less active agencies were personified, it is not to be supposed that the winds failed to be so.
To Phil's amazement, Madge stood still during the brief instant when the horses hesitated. It was then she might have saved herself, but she lingered for an instant, then turned to run. The leader of the drove of horses had made up his mind that he had nothing to fear from the wood-nymph that had tried to block his path. He tossed his shaggy head, giving the signal to his company.
The fantasy of the wood-nymph underwent translation in Ingolby's mind; she was now like a mortal, who, having been transformed, at immortal dictate was returning to mortal state again. To heighten the illusion, he thought he heard faint singing in the depths of the wood.
She was very beautiful, at least so the schoolmaster thought; perhaps she was the personification of the morning, perhaps she was a wood-nymph it did not matter much; he felt, in his excitement and exhaustion, that her beauty and grace were not real, but only an hallucination of moving sun and shade.
"Holding one hand against his ear, To list a footfall ere he saw The wood-nymph, stayed the Tuscan king to hear Of wisdom and of law." When so many less active agencies were personified, it is not to be supposed that the winds failed to be so. They were Boreas or Aquilo, the north wind, Zephyrus or Favonius, the west, Notus or Auster, the south, and Eurus, the east.
"I've been trying to find a face among them for a picture I'm doing; but the little dears are all too young, and I must look elsewhere for a model for my wood-nymph." "Are models hard to find?" asked Jessie, eating her ice with the relish of a girl who does not often taste it. "What I want is very hard to find.
Of course he was utterly foolish not to have known it was she Billy Strong's bewitching cousin, the girl from Orange. There she stood with her big, brown eyes searching, gazing here and there, as lovely, as incongruous as a wood-nymph strayed into a political meeting.

His first idea was that a heated imagination had raised the image on which it doted into visible existence; his second, that he beheld an apparition; the third and abiding conviction, that it was Amy herself, paler, indeed, and thinner, than in the days of heedless happiness, when she possessed the form and hue of a wood-nymph, with the beauty of a sylph but still Amy, unequalled in loveliness by aught which had ever visited his eyes.
No," and I was amused to see how gravely and doggedly John kept to his point "though this lady did not look like a sylph or a wood-nymph being neither very small nor very slight, and having a comfortable woollen cloak and hood over the grey silk gown still, I don't believe she's an old woman, or married either." "How can you possibly tell? Did you see her face?"
