There is a perfumed air on Adam's cheek, sweeter than ever swooned in the rose garden of Cashmere or the jasmine bowers of Araby the Blest; there is a touch upon his forehead softer than the white dove's fluttering bosom; there is a voice in his ear more musical than Israfil's marshaling the Faithful in fields of asphodel, crying, "Awake, my lord!" and the first of men is looking with enraptured soul upon the last, best work of an all-wise God, a beautiful woman.
Dove obeyed, gazing first at the glorious sea, then at the plain and the trees, and lastly behind her at the towering cliff steeped in shadow for the sun was westering down the face of which the waterfall seemed to hang like a silver rope. As her eyes fell upon this cliff Mrs. Dove's face changed. "I know this spot," she said in a hurried voice. "I have seen it before."
Hemans, after staying a fortnight at Rydal Mount, took a little cottage called Dove's Nest near the lake. Here she was joined by her children, into whose pursuits she heartily threw herself. This was a season of grateful rest to her. "How shall I tell you of all the loveliness by which I am surrounded, of all the soothing and holy influence it seems shedding down into my inmost heart!
The moment he had spoken the words, he was sorry, for the child was too young and sensitive to be trifled with. She never doubted that her great cruel brother had robbed her. It was too much. Her "dove's eyes" shot fire. Flyaway could be terribly angry, and her anger was "as quick as a chain o' lightning."
Maud and her assistant laid out the dress and the jewels, yet Lady Frances was ill satisfied. "Said I not that the stomacher needed lengthening? The point is not a point, but a round! Saw one ever the like? It is as square as a dove's tail, instead of tapering off like a parroquet's!" "Did your ladyship mean," said the elder of the bewildered girls, "that the stomacher was square or round?"
He had a calm and collected air about him, his voice was kind and tender, and his eye was as gentle as a dove's. His whole make-up of form and person, looks and manner had a kind of gentle and soothing magnetism about it that drew every one to him and made them love, respect, and honor him. I fell in love with the old gentleman and felt like going home with him.
The women showed their sentiments in the dressing of their hair. Very curious very curious. And here, in the hair, half-concealed, is an imitation dove's nest." "The deuce there is!" ejaculated Turner, pulling at his cigar. "A fashion which ruled for a still briefer period." "I should hope so. Well, roll the thing up, and I will do my best for you.
Provisions reached such a figure that "an ass' head was sold for eighty pieces of silver and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver." An incident recorded of that heavy time will give one a very good idea of the distress that prevailed within these crumbling walls. As the King was walking upon the battlements one day, "a woman cried out, saying, Help, my lord, O King!
So the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel. And it came to pass after this, that Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his host, and went up, and besieged Samaria. And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver.
Or was it a mere physical illusion had he any dreams? "The heart of another is a dark forest" to all but the one who loves. One morning, he held up a letter. "Ah, ha! Paul Rosek went to see our house. 'A pretty dove's nest! he calls it." The memory of the Pole's sphinxlike, sweetish face, and eyes that seemed to know so many secrets, always affected Gyp unpleasantly.
