And in that spot even the bushes seemed to have a mind to look the waves in the eyes so strenuously did they lean across the riband-like path, and nod in the direction of the blue, watery waste, while from the hills a wind was blowing that presaged rain. But hark! From some point among the bushes a low moan arose the sound which never fails to thrill the soul and move it to responsive quivers!
This dream was hard to interpret, yet Astyphilus of Posidonia, a man skilled in divinations, and intimate with Cimon, told him that his death was presaged by this vision, which he thus explained.
And that being assumed, how did I stand with regard to Rosetta Rosa? Was the thing a coincidence, or had I indeed crossed her path pursuant to some strange decree of Fate a decree which Emmeline had divined or guessed or presaged? There was a certain weirdness about Emmeline that was rather puzzling. I had seen Rosa but twice, and her image, to use the old phrase, was stamped on my heart. True!
He felt that his daughter had come to a place where she had put reason firmly aside, and given her whole assent to the assurances of her intuition. He had no arguments for an antagonism of this kind.

The prophecy of the sibyl doth explain and lay out before us the same very predictions which have been denoted, foretold, and presaged to us by the decree of the Virgilian lots and the verdict of your own proper dreams, to wit, that you shall be very much disgraced, shamed, and discredited by your wife; for that she will make you a cuckold in prostituting herself to others, being big with child by another than you, will steal from you a great deal of your goods, and will beat you, scratch and bruise you, even to plucking the skin in a part from off you, will leave the print of her blows in some member of your body.
"Anything to win" has been the motto. Man against man, and group against group, they have struggled for gain, first, in order to "get ahead;" then to accumulate the comforts and luxuries, and last of all, to possess the immense power that goes with the control of modern wealth. The early history of the country presaged anything but this.
To palm-plumed equatorial isles, where dying auricular nerves mistook them for seraphic utterances? To toiling mariners, tossed helplessly by fierce typhoons, who, pausing in their scramble for spars, listened to the weird melody that presaged woe and wreck?
I've been one of them, and I know. I remember " He broke off short, his blue eyes dreaming. Presently he gave his shoulders the characteristic little shake which presaged the dismissal of some recalcitrant secret thought, and went on in quick, practical tones.
