Trang 222 - I scarce could turn to fall upon the ground, with my head to the northward, when I felt the heat of its current plainly upon my face. We all lay flat on the ground, as if dead, till Idris told us it was blown over. The meteor, or purple haze, which I saw, was indeed passed, but the light air that still blew was of heat to threaten suffocation.
Trang 262 - Rushed — a storm of sword and spear ; — Like the roused elements Let loose from an immortal hand, To chasten or to crush a land ! But there are none to hear ; Greece is a hopeless slave.
Trang 220 - Halboub, only they seemed to be more in number and less in size. They came several times in a direction close upon us, that is, I believe, within less than two miles.
Trang 123 - As it. bursts hollow through the rolling clouds, That from the north in sullen grandeur sail Like floating Alps.

The legions fly ; Volley on volley down the hailstones pour; Blind, famished, frozen, mad, the wanderers die, And dying, hear the storm but wilder thunder by.
Trang 149 - IT was the wild midnight, — A storm was on the sky ; The lightning gave its light, And the thunder echoed by. The torrent swept the glen, The ocean lashed the shore ; Then rose the Spartan men, To make their bed in gore...
Trang 222 - I saw from the southeast a haze come, in colour like the purple part of the rainbow, but not so compressed or thick. It did not occupy twenty yards in breadth, and was about twelve feet high from the ground. It was a kind of...
Trang 221 - ... in the air, which was a sure presage of the coming of the simoom. I begged and entreated Idris that he would not say one word of that in the hearing of the people, for they had already felt it at...
Trang 212 - He sigh'd, and at his sigh he saw it beam : Oh ! the sweet frenzy of the lover's dream ! A moment's lingering, and they both must die. The lightning round them shot a broader stream ; He felt her clasp his knees in agony ; He spoke the words of might...
Trang 223 - Their direction was very regular from north to south. From the beginning of the phenomenon there was not a space in the firmament equal in extent to three diameters of the moon which was not filled every instant with bodies or falling stars. All the meteors left luminous traces or phosphorescent bands behind them, which lasted seven or eight seconds.
