A little pause, during which crickets shrilled, then, in a softer voice: "Blow him again to me While my little one, while my pretty one sleeps." Another pause and still more softly: "Wreathe me no gaudy chaplet; Make it from simple flowers Plucked from the lowly valley After the summer showers." The coolness of the August wind touched Amos' face, "Oh! Patience, Patience " he murmured.
We tint the pebbles of a brook till they compare with Florentine mosaics. We wreathe and festoon every bare old bowlder and every niche made barren by the winds. Indeed, the list of our works would fill a volume." Leo listened and looked, though his feet were getting numb and his fingers nearly frozen.
And they say it will go on growing till the Last Day, when the horse will falter and her hair will gather in; and the horse will fall, and the hair will twist, and twine, and wreathe itself like a mist of threads about him, and blind him to everything but her.
In all creation did I stand alone, Still to the rocks my dreams a soul should find, Mine arms should wreathe themselves around the stone, My griefs should feel a listener in the wind; My joy its echo in the caves should be! Fool, if ye will Fool, for sweet sympathy! We are dead groups of matter when we hate; But when we love we are as gods!
"I hope she has a fortune, if you don't mind my speaking of it: I mean some of the money we didn't in our time have and that we missed, after all, in our poor way and for what we then wanted of it, so quite dreadfully." She had been able to wreathe it in a grace quite equal to any he himself had employed; and it was to be said for him also that he kept up, on this, the standard.
Yes, he was sure Hirschvogel would care. Had he not decked it all summer long with alpine roses and edelweiss and heaths and made it sweet with thyme and honeysuckle and great garden-lilies? Had he ever forgotten when Santa Claus came to make it its crown of holly and ivy and wreathe it all around?
The dress of the Armenian ladies differs but little from Western costumes, and their deportment would wreathe the benign countenance of the Lord Chamberlain with a serene smile of approval; but the minds and inclinations of the gentle Hellenic dames seem to run in rather a contrary channel.
"Would you like me to wear bright colors, Jims?" "You bet I would," said Jims emphatically. After that she always wore them pink and primrose and blue and white; and she let Jims wreathe flowers in her splendid hair. He had quite a knack of it. She never wore any jewelry except, always, a little gold ring with a design of two clasped hands.
Catharine neglected not to reach down flowery bunches of the fragrant whitethorn, and the high-bush cranberry, then radiant with nodding umbels of snowy blossoms, or to wreathe the handle of the little basket with the graceful trailing runners of the lovely twin-flowered plant, the Linnaea borealis, which she always said reminded her of the twins Louise and Marie, her little cousins.
After dinner, when the Captain had betaken himself to the bridge and the smoke from the Spaniard's cigarettes and Benton's pipe had begun to wreathe clouds against the ceiling-beams, Blanco broached his diplomacy. In the dulled expressionlessness of the face opposite him and the stoop of the shoulders, Manuel read a need for an active antidote against the corrosive poison of despair.
