It may still harbour artists who lead a mystic, ecstatic existence, but we met none of them. Poetic images are aroused at dusk along the banks of canals, bathed in spectral light. Here Georges Rodenbach, that poet of delicate images, placed his hero, a man who had lost a beloved wife. He saw her wraith-like form in the mist and at the end went mad.
But Roscoe threw him off with astonishing force and shook his head emphatically. Nevertheless he followed the pair to the entrance a tall wraith-like form moving behind them, a shadow in the shadows. As soon as the door had closed and the visitors were once more in the street, the police officer broke out: "Upon my word, Shafto, you ought to be ashamed of yourself!
He lifted his eyes to the grayish film of smoke rising between him and the balsam-covered tent, and slowly he saw another face take form, framed in that wraith-like mist of smoke the face of a golden goddess, laughing at him, taunting him. Laughing laughing!... He forced his gaze from it with a shudder. Again he looked at the picture of the Girl in his hand. "She knows. She understands.
But perhaps my idea was that she would be sorry for what she had done and write to me, or to you. I think I wanted to give Karen time." "Well, and then?" Mrs. Talcott asked. "If she had written?" "Well, then, I'd have gone to her." "You'd have taken her back?" "If she would have come, of course," said Gregory, in his voice of wraith-like gentleness.
And here, on a low, bushy ridge, we lay all day, seeing in the forest not one living thing, nor any movement in that dim solitude, save where the grey and wraith-like water tossed a flat crest against some fallen tree, or its dull and sullen surface gleamed like lead athwart the valley far ahead.
In Which Tom and I Seriously Start in Treasure Hunting. Tom and Sailor and I were now, to the best of our belief, alone on the island, and a lonesomer spot it would be hard to imagine, or one touched at certain hours with a fairer beauty a beauty wraith-like and, like a sea-shell, haunted with the marvel of the sea.
One has deep heliotrope ribbons, and another crapy material seems almost alive. There are plain mulls, with wide hems, there are gloves and sashes and wraith-like plaitings of tulle; a pretty, dainty bonnet and a black chip hat, simple and graceful. Madame Vauban has certainly taken into account youth, bridehood, and the husband's wishes.
I shut the closet to conceal the strange, wraith-like apparel it contained; which, at this evening hour nine o'clock gave out certainly a most ghostly shimmer through the shadow of my apartment. "I will leave you by yourself, white dream," I said. "I am feverish: I hear the wind blowing: I will go out of doors and feel it."
Wraith-like and pale, she stood before me, with no sign of emotion but the slight tremor of her frame, and answered my greeting with a sad humility: "I came because I promised to cleave to you through health and sickness, poverty and wealth, and I must keep that vow till you absolve me from it.
She is in pure white, his favorite attire for her, but the wraith-like laces draping her lend her a different air from anything he has seen before. The rose-leaf tint in her cheek, her lovely dimpled mouth, the eyes that look browner and more like velvet than ever, and the shining hair give her a glamour of sweetness and youth that stirs his heart to its very depths.
