Mahommed shrank perceptibly he was astonished. "I mean not reference to thy father nor to the Christian Princess, thy mother, nor to thy history, which is of an obedient son and brave soldier, nor to thy education, unusual in those born inheritors of royal power I mean none of these, for they are in mouths everywhere, even of the beggars nursing their sores by the waysides.... In thy father's palace there was a commotion one night thou wert about to be born.
It was as if the mellow brightness, as tender as that of the primroses which starred the dark waysides like petals wind-scattered over beds of moss, had been meted out to us by the cubic foot distilled from an alchemist's crucible.
But their great want was some vessel that would bear the heat of the fire; the tin pot was so small that it could be made little use of in the cooking way. It grows in great abundance on dry sandy lands and wastes, by waysides. "If we could but make some sort of earthen pot that would stand the heat of the fire," said Louis, "we might get on nicely with cooking."
It is the time in which the earth gives a feast to all her children, and joyous and changing scenes were represented by the waysides.
When the Nile overflowed its banks in ancient times, and caused the young frogs to swarm up as a pest upon the Egyptians, the same law of life was operative in that land, as when warm thunder-showers pelt the earth with us in the summer season, causing hundreds and thousands of these batrachians to come out of the gritty waysides, and swarm along our highways and by-ways, leading ignorant and thoughtless people to suppose that they have rained down from the sky.
One feels this in merely glancing at the index, and reading such titles of chapters as "Wet Meadows and Low Grounds"; "Dry Fields Waste Places Waysides"; "Hills and Rocky Woods, Open Woods"; and "Deep, Cool, Moist Woods"; each a poem in itself, lyric or pastoral, and of a surpassing opulence of suggestion.
It would be a very desirable task for a young literary man, or, for that matter, for an old one; for the world can scarcely have in reserve a less hackneyed theme than Japan. This is a most beautiful day of English winter; clear and bright, with the ground a little frozen, and the green grass along the waysides at Rock Ferry sprouting up through the frozen pools of yesterday's rain.
He was a keen-faced, thoughtful-looking man; and he wore a blouse of blue cotton, from the pocket of which always dangled the leaves of some wild salad culled from our wasteful vacant lots or prodigal waysides. Altogether different in character was that Triestine, who came one evening to be helped home at the close of a very disastrous career in Mexico.
You'd make a sweet rosy jelly to eat with turkey for Thanksgiving dinner, you dear, comforting little boy!" Rodman ran towards home and Waitstill hurried along, scarcely noticing the beauties of the woods and fields and waysides, all glowing masses of goldenrod and purple frost flowers. The stone walls were covered with wild-grape and feathery clematis vines.
Two lilies there are that, escaping from gardens, in many places have become half wild the brick-red, black-spotted tiger lily with recurved flowerets, after the shape of the Japanese roseum, rubrum, and album, being also a native of Japan and China, and the tawny orange day lily, that is found in masses about old cellars and waysides, with its tubular flowers, held on leafless stems, springing from a matted bed of leaves.
