Red forked lightnings fiercely glare around, Sharp, crashing thunders on the winds are borne, And see yon spiral column, black as night, Rearing triumphantly its wreathing form; Ruin's abroad, and through the murky light Drear desolation marks the spirit of the storm. The 19th of August came, and our little harvest was all safely housed. Business called Moodie away for a few days to Cobourg.
Occasionally one of them, seized with a sudden impulse, would spring forward toward the nucleus of the comet with a sudden access of velocity that would fling every one of its crew from his feet, and all would lie sprawling on the floor of the car while it rushed, as it seemed, to inevitable and instant destruction. Saved on Ruin's Brink.
They could do nothing with it; the artists did not take their sketch-blocks from their pockets. But in the theatre, where a few broken columns marked the place of the stage, and the stone benches of the auditorium were here and there reached by a flight of uncovered steps, the human interest returned. "I suspect that there is such a thing as a ruin's being too old," said Colville.
But the man Lessing, harassed and striving life-long, always poor and always hopeful, with no patron but his own right-hand, the very shuttlecock of fortune, who saw ruin's ploughshare drive through the hearth on which his first home-fire was hardly kindled, and who, through all, was faithful to himself, to his friend, to his duty, and to his ideal, is something more inspiring for us than the most glorious utterance of merely intellectual power.
You would have ruined yourself for me." "Ruin's a large word," he answered, and still holding her hand he drew her down again. She yielded reluctantly.

"You must have seen a good deal of life," remarked Harriet sympathetically. At this remark I saw one of our Ruin's long hands draw up and clinch. He turned his head toward Harriet. His face was partly in the shadow, but there was something striking and strange in the way he looked at her, and a deepness in his voice when he spoke: "Too much! I've seen too much of life."
It isn't only that ruin's staring me in the face, though there's that possibility in the situation, too, but that privation, bitter misery, and despair are lying in wait for them. God! what an iniquity! "But I can't give in, Broadcastle I can't give in, John Barclay! It means the sacrifice of a principle I've held out for, and that I know is right.
We have counted long before that something like it was bound to happen. And you are brave. Ruin's an empty word for us two. 'Yes, dear, it is: we will pay what is asked of us, Aminta said. 'It will be heavy, if the school... and I love our boys. I am fit to be the school-housekeeper; for nothing else. 'I will go to the boys' parents. At the worst, we can march into new territory.
He was wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, which he then thrust into the deeps of his pockets, hugging a hammer to his body under his armpit.
