From eave and stringcourse and dripstone of the old castle the melting patches of dazzling snow sent down mimic showers of diamond drops, and the moisture thawed from them made dark stains upon the grey masonry.
For this the nymphs, at fall of eave, Oft dance upon the flow'ry banks, And sing my name, and garlands weave To bear beneath the wave their thanks. In coral bow'rs I love to lie, And hear the surges roll above, And through the waters view on high The proud ships sail, and gay clouds move.
If he left the clod of earth in its pasture with all its daisies untouched, this black-browed young peasant would cut it round with his hatchet and carry it to his wicker cage, that the homely brown lark of his love might sing to it some stupid wood note under a cottage eave.
Into each of these he put a pair of upright sticks, leading up to the eave log, one inside and one outside of it, then packed the earth around them in the holes. Next, he went to the brook-side and cut a number of long green willow switches about half an inch thick at the butt.
"That is my room," the girl said, "where the jessamine is you can just see it. Mark's is above look, under where the eave hangs out, away to the left. The other night " "Yes; the other night?" "Oh, I don't ! Listen. That's an owl. We have heaps of owls. Mark likes them. I don't, much." Always Mark! "He's awfully keen, you see, about all beasts and birds he models them.
It was about half-past ten when Rory was awakened by a crackling sound close beside him; and the first sight he saw was a broad tongue of flame leaping in under the eave, and licking the rafter above his head. He had heard of bush fires; and though he knew the locusts were starving on the surrounding plain, his roar of despair brought me to my feet on the floor.
'Hur be gone to dipping-place, replied the boy. We went to a third door, and immediately he cried out, 'Thuck's our feyther's: the kay's in the thatch. We looked and could see the handle of the key sticking out of the eave over the door. 'Where are they all? I said. 'Aw, Bill's in the clauver; and Joe he's in th' turmuts; and Jack be at public, a' spose; and Bob's wi' the osses; and
I stared out into the street and could scarcely believe my eyes. The houses in the market place just beyond were all little one-story buildings with bow windows and wooden eave troughs ending in carved dragon heads. Most of them had balconies of carved woodwork, and high stone stoops with gleaming brass rails. But it was the church most of all that aroused my astonishment.
There was at the bottom of his mind a kind of ache of shame that his father his own father should have stripped their hearth and sold their honor thus. A robin had been perched upon a stone griffin sculptured on a house eave near. August had felt for the crumbs of his loaf in his pocket, and had thrown them to the little bird sitting so easily on the frozen snow.
Under the dense bone of the forehead which overhangs them like the eave of a roof, the pale blue eyes look out at you with a deep inner radiance of the spirit, but from the midst of a face which has been stricken and has winced.
