Nearly all of these masses had two smooth flat sides, and resembled irregular slices of some black Plutonian pudding hardened into stone.
Such a moaning of the shadows has the tenacity of a syllogism. Here is a vast trouble for thought. Here is the raison d'être of mythologies and polytheisms. To the terror of those great murmurs are added superhuman outlines melting away as they appear Eumenides which are almost distinct, throats of Furies shaped in the clouds, Plutonian chimeras almost defined.
For instance, I wonder how many frequenters of the Alpine house ever saw or know that there is a dairy in its Plutonian regions. A rainy day discovered it to us, and, with many an injunction touching possible dust, we were bidden into those mysterious precincts.
This pie, according to the final verse of the song, would now be cut, so that the company could see exactly what a Plutonian banquet was like. The troubadour borrowed a dagger from a man-at-arms, made one or two slashes at the ornate crust of the pie and out flew four live pigeons. Then Peirol gave his birdlike call, and eluding the hands raised to catch them the pigeons swooped down to him.
Leave to those who take too much wine "the gloomy raven tapping at the chamber door, on the night's Plutonian shore," and give us the robin red-breast and the chaffinch. Let some one with a strong voice give out the long-metre doxology, and the whole world "Praise God, from whom all blessings flow." "But do you not suppose, Governor Wiseman, that every man has his irritated days?"
The wheel of Ixion might whirl, and the pitchy depths blaze with the fires of indignation, but all this did not dry the tears of the nymph, nor soothe her bitterness of woe. Every tenderness that could reconcile, every enjoyment that could wean, was vainly essayed; mourning for her Orpheus, she would not be comforted. At last the Plutonian shadows opened to receive the matchless man.
It was sufficient to know and feel that he was back again in the busy, bustling world, saved from being buried in a living tomb. An examination of the point where he had debouched from these Plutonian regions showed Fred that he was considerably below the general regions of the earth.
See the strained and still attention of the little group around him as he steps into the light of the fire! Hear him! "I am dying, Egypt, dying! Ebbs the crimson life-tide fast, And the dark Plutonian shadows Gather on the evening blast. Let thine arms, O Queen, support me, Hush thy sobs and bow thine ear; Listen to the great heart secrets Thou, and thou alone, must hear.
