Neela was calmer when she had concluded, and printing one warm kiss on the cold face of the dead, she covered it with a veil, and returned to her seat. She had sat about a quarter of an hour, musing on her desolate situation, when a slight noise aroused...
الصفحة 25 - INEZ. DOWN behind the hidden village, fringed around with hazel brake, (Like a holy hermit dreaming, half asleep and half awake, One who loveth the sweet quiet for the happy quiet's sake,) Dozing, murmuring in its visions, lay the heaven-enamoured lake.
الصفحة 245 - He threw a spear against a tree, and dashed after to recover it. He fired at a mark as he hurried on at full gallop; every feat was insufficient to tame his exhaustless spirits. The Chief marked him with eyes, whose deep melancholy expression darkened as he gazed. He was known as bravest among the brave; yet gentle and kindly as a woman. He was very young, singularly handsome; his countenance was stamped with traces of intellectual refinement, while his person was tall, muscular, and strong, but...
الصفحة 250 - He held a steel cap in his hand — and now he stooped down to fill it ; but with the effort the ground slid from under him, and he fell. There was a ringing in his ears — a cold dew on his brow — his breath came thick — the cap had fallen from his hand — he was dying. The bough of a tree, shot off in the morning's melee, lay near ;— the mind, even of a dying man, can form swift unerring combinations of thought ; — it was his last chance — the bough was plunged in the waters, and he...

He had been educated in Paris, and travelled in Europe and America, and was aware of the progress made in the science of politics all over the civilized world. He felt that Greece would soon share the benefits to arise from the changes then operating, and he looked forward at no distant day to its liberation from bondage. He educated his young ward for that day. Had he believed that Greece would have continued hopelessly...
الصفحة 251 - ... willing to obey his will — he sat up, but he was too weak, and his head dropped. As a mother tending her sick first-born, the Greek chief hovered over him ; he brought a cloak to pillow his head ; as he picked up this, he found that some careful soldier had brought a small bag at his...
الصفحة 254 - ... and happiness that a woman must derive from being held the friend of man, not his slave, she thanked God that she was a Greek and a Christian ; and holding fast by the advantages which these names conferred, she looked forward eagerly to the day when Mahometanism should no longer contaminate her native land...
الصفحة 254 - ... and teachers of sages. Her brother was her idol, her hope, her joy. And he who had been taught that his career must be that of deeds, not words, yet was fired by her poetry and eloquence to desire glory yet more eagerly, and to devote himself yet more entirely and with purer ardour to the hope of one day living and dying for his country.
الصفحة 261 - He grew more silent, as he became weaker. Now and then he spoke a few words to record some other of Euphrasia's perfections, or to repeat some of her dying words; to speak of her magnanimity, her genius, her love, and his own wish to die. "I might have lived," he said, "till her image had faded in my mind, or been mingled with less holy memories. I die young, all her own. Those whom the gods favor, all die young.
الصفحة 250 - And Valency rose; he staggered a few steps, and fell heavily at the feet of the Chief. He had fainted. The Greek looked on the ghastly palor of his face ; he half rose — his own wound did not bleed, but it was mortal, and a deadly sickness had gathered round his heart, and chilled his brow, which he strove to master, that he might save the English boy. The struggle brought cold drops on his brow, as he rose on his knees and stooped to raise the head of Valency; he shuddered to feel the warm moisture...
