This strange Sabbath seemed to me the most natural thing in the world; and I, who had seen Charles X. hurled from his throne, was no longer amazed by anything. Nay, I myself was gently swaying with a see-saw movement that influenced my nerves pleasurably in a manner of which it is impossible to give any idea.
It demands that we shall not live alternately with our opposing tendencies in continual see-saw of passion and disgust, but seek some path on which the tendencies shall no longer oppose, but serve each other to a common end. It demands that we shall not pursue broken ends, but great and comprehensive purposes, in which soul and body may unite like notes in a harmonious chord.
iv Matter and mind form one another, i.e. they give to one another the form in which we see them. They are the helpmeets to one another that cross each other and undo each other and, in the undoing, do and, in the doing, undo, and so see-saw ad infinitum. Organic and Inorganic Animals and plants cannot understand our business, so we have denied that they can understand their own.
In his absence the see-saw, in due obedience to the laws that govern all see-saws, gives a lurch to the other side, and things go all wrong again in San Domingo. The preparations for the despatch of the caravels are neglected as soon as his back is turned; not fifty days, but nearly one hundred days elapse before they are ready to sail from San Domingo to Xaragua.
Our Fortunatus' cap was put to better purposes, but to have the cap, and not to be emasculated by the possession, might excuse a little reasonable pride in ourselves. Thus did Optimism and Pessimism have their turn, like the two great parties in the State, and the subsiding see-saw restored a proper balance, much to the nation's comfort.
Again Benson played see-saw with his sounding-line over the boat's gunwale. "If my lead isn't hitting the 'Farnum," declared the young skipper, positively, "then it's the 'Farnum's' ghost. Hold steady, now, Hal." Immediately afterward, Benson caused the lead fairly to dance a jig on whatever it touched at bottom. "What's the good of that, anyway?" demanded Jacob Farnum.
"Let's try it!" exclaimed Georgina, delighted with the suggestion. "There's some hanging up in the old powder-horn over the dining-room mantel. You have to give it to 'em in milk. Wait a minute." Jumping from the see-saw after giving fair warning, she ran to one of the side windows. "Barby," she called. "I'm going to give Captain Kidd some milk."
Most people, royal or republican, would "consider it not so deeply." The world has grown so familiar with the see-saw of French royalty, that a fall or a flight, exile or abdication moves it but little. In the old guillotine times, there were sensations. England's great ally, and his lovely wife, Eugenie, every inch an Empress, were received with tremendous enthusiasm.
'Not much to be said for her, I am afraid, when she comes to business, he said to Kendal in a whisper, as the two leant against the door of the box. 'Where did she get those tiresome tricks she has, that see-saw intonation she puts on when she wants to be pathetic, and that absurd restlessness which spoils everything? It's a terrible pity.
Then the falling motion changed into a slow rocking see-saw, coupled with a sense of extraordinary lightness, and Stuart, looking overhead, saw the outstretched circle of a modern parachute. Swaying in sea-sick fashion, Stuart saw the forests, far below, seem to rise up to meet him.
