Look at him, convulsively doing battle with an invisible foe! his eyes start; his face gets bluer and bluer; his hands, fixed like griffin's talons, clutch at vacancy he wrestles struggles falls.
Let me beseech you to vex not this social stranger within your borders; the stranger who invades your swamps and drains them into his system for your comfort; who creeps through the slime of your sewers; who wrestles with the heat in your ditches and fields; who has borne your onerous burdens and cheered you with his song as he toiled; who has never heard the war whoop but that he has prepared for battle; whose one hope is to be allowed to live in peace by your side and develop his powers and those of his children that they may be factors in making of this land, the greatest in goodness in all this world.
Brewster, who had finally yielded to persuasion and decided not to venture out, though still deriding the restriction as the merest nonsense, was in a mood of restless silence, which his irrepressible daughter described to Fitzhugh Carroll as "the superior sulks."

Bitter as these wanderings were, my real misery now did not begin until I got to bed. Then began the terrible struggle of the soul that wrestles with its ancestral fleshly prison that prison whose warders are the superstitions of bygone ages.

He drove back to Medicine Woods whistling, singing, and talking to Belshazzar beside him.

He heard at Lady Wathin's that Mrs. Warwick was in town for the winter. 'Mr.
The burden of life grows heavier the husband becomes accustomed to the changed relationships. Very often he ceases to be a wage-earner and loafs about saloons. From then on the woman wrestles with worlds of trouble unimaginable difficulties. Truly, running a state may be easier than running a family.
With the Italian campaigns of Charles VIII., notre petit roi, as Brantôme calls him, and of the early Valois-Orleans kings, France enters the arena of European politics, wrestles with the mighty Emperor Charles V. and embarks on a career of transalpine conquest. But in Italy, conquering France was herself conquered by the charm of Italian art, Italian climate and Italian landscape.
I'm not, once I've written down or talked out some of my folly, so very foolish at bottom.

One of the excitements I had imagined beforehand was wrestling with Doubt. But I have no wrestles.
Democrates’s voice shook either with rage or with fear when he made shift to answer. “I see I’ve come to be incriminated and insulted. So be it. If I keep my pledge, at least suffer me to wish you and your ‘Cyprian’ a very good night.” Lycon good-humouredly lighted him to the door. “Why so hot? I’ll do you a service to-morrow.
