Again He stoops from the throne, and girds Himself with a towel, and, in all lowliness, endeavors to remove from thee and me the strain which His love dare not pass over. He never loses the print of the nail; He never forgets Calvary and the blood; He never spends one hour without stooping to do the most menial work of cleansing filthy souls.
Their long red caps are thrown back over their necks their black curls hang down on each side of the face and a crimson, many-folded sash, girds in a waist usually extremely small. Their neck, face, and breast, from continued exposure to the sun, are a red copper colour.
Yet when we think how narrow and how devious this path of Nature is, how dimly we can trace it, for all our lamps of science, and how from the darkness which girds it round great and terrible possibilities loom ever shadowly upwards, it is a bold and confident man who will put a limit to the strange by-paths into which the human spirit may wander.
One said, "One sister washes as many as she is pretty well able: it's hard on the back." "And does she have a towel?" said I. "She girds a towel, and then she washes and wipes them, and gives them a kiss." "Do you all have your feet washed?" I inquired further. "No, not those that have any weakness that prevents." "And will all these brothers have their feet washed?" "All that communes."
Even now the Phoenicians that dwell beneath the setting sun on the spur of Libya, shudder for dread, even now the Syracusans poise lances in rest, and their arms are burdened by the linden shields. Among them Hiero, like the mighty men of old, girds himself for fight, and the horse-hair crest is shadowing his helmet.
Outside Andvær lies an island, the haunt of wild birds, which no man can land upon, be the sea never so quiet; the sea-swell girds it round about with sucking whirlpools and dashing breakers. On fine summer days something sparkles there through the sea-foam like a large gold ring; and, time out of mind, folks have fancied there was a treasure there left by some pirates of old.
'Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth. The traveller, before he starts upon his long road, girds himself, and gathers his robes round him; and we have to 'run with perseverance the race set before us'; and shall never do it if our garments, however delicately embroidered, are flapping about our feet and getting in our way when we try to run.
"Your clear white light is sickness," I tell the White Logic. "You lie." "By telling too strong a truth," he quips back. "Alas, yes, so topsy-turvy is existence," I acknowledge sadly. "Ah, well, Liu Ling was wiser than you," the White Logic girds. "You remember him?"
A helmet on his head doth stand, A breastplate on his heart: A shield also is in his hand, That blunteth every dart. 49. Truth girds him round the reins, also His sword is on his thigh; His feet in shoes of peace do go The ways of purity. 50. His heart it groaneth to the Lord, Who hears him at his call, And doth him help and strength afford, Wherewith he conquers all. 51.
What, drink so shallow? It is enough to break both girds and petrel. This is called a cup of dissimulation, or flagonal hypocrisy. What difference is there between a bottle and a flagon. Bravely and well played upon the words! Our fathers drank lustily, and emptied their cans. Well cacked, well sung! Come, let us drink: will you send nothing to the river? Here is one going to wash the tripes.
