Here it grows in dense sods, like grasses, from forty to eighty feet high, bending all together to the breeze and whirling in eddying gusts more lithely than any other tree in the woods.

But the American sentries saw no furtive French Canadians gliding through that dark November night and heard no suspicious noises above the regular ripple of the eddying island current.

His heart was like the clear pool just yonder across which the sunshine lay and far down in which she could see the stones and pebbles as through so much clear glass; hers was like the rushing stream above, eddying and swirling and hiding itself under its own light spray.

I chatter over stony ways, In little sharps and trebles, I bubble into eddying bays, I babble on the pebbles.

'So shall I.' She leaned upon the rail and looked down at the eddying water.

I. Upon a rock, high on a mountain side, Thousands of feet above the lake-sea's lip, A rock in which old waters' rise and dip, Plunge and recoil, and backward eddying tide Had, age-long, worn, while races lived and died, Involved channels, where the sea-weed's drip Followed the ebb; and now earth-grasses sip Fresh dews from heaven, whereby on earth they bide I sat and gazed southwards.

I chatter over stony ways In little sharps and trebles; I bubble into eddying bays; I babble on the pebbles.

EDDYING, moving in circles.

Why are "eddying bays" dangerous to the swimmer? FRETTED BANKS, banks worn away by the action of the water.

Now suddenly sloping his hurricane flight, With an eddying whirl he descends; The air all below him becomes black as night, And the ground where he treads, as if mov'd with affright, Like the surge of the Caspian bends.

Borne like a leaf by some soft eddying wind, Mine eyes, impelled as by enchantment sweet, From part to part with circling motion rove, Yet seem unconscious of the power to move; From line to line through endless changes run, O'er countless shapes, yet seem to gaze on One.

Already fire and eddying smoke I view; The impetuous millions to the devil ride; Full many a riddle will be there untied.

MEPHISTOPHELES Upward the eddying concourse throng; Thinking to push, thyself art push'd along.

From fall to fall, with eddying shock, it pours, In thousand torrents to the depths below, Aloft in air up-tossing showers of spray.

Now to the hall accusers throng; On cushioned throne the judge presides; Surging meanwhile in eddying tides, Confusion waxes fierce and strong.

I worked through the bends and reaches, till the deep, strong current of Shirley Gut was to be stemmed, where the tide runs with great force,nearly fifty feet in depth of pure green water, eddying and whirling round, all sorts of ripples and small whirlpools dimpling its surface,with the rushing sound which deep and swift water makes against its banks.

And she had a sense, too, that she had never really known lifethat her narrow existence had touched life at but a few minor pointsand that the great on-struggle of the world, the vast life of the race, the million-eddying evolution were all outside her limits.

They stood a few minutes in the judge's end of the court-rooma crowd eddying about them.

But over the land, and for thousands of feet up into the sky, the air is more irregular than a torrent among rocks; it isif only we could see ita waving, whirling, eddying, flamboyant confusion.

Sometimes outstretcht, in very idleness, Nought doing, saying little, thinking less, To view the leaves, thin dancers upon air, Go eddying round; and small birds, how they fare, When mother Autumn fills their beaks with corn, Filch'd from the careless Amalthea's horn; And how the woods berries and worms provide Without their pains, when earth has nought beside

Although in this truly fearful cold the air was comparatively still, every now and again little puffs of wind came eddying across the snow plain with blighting effect.

See the gathered waters madly leaping, Plunging from the rocks in headlong chase, Boiling, eddying, whirling, downward sweeping All that meets them in their foaming race!

Few sights are more picturesque than these flocks of Snow-Buntings, whirling with the subsiding winds, and moving as if they were guided by an eddying breeze, now half-concealed by the direction in which they meet the rays of the sun, then suddenly flashing with a simultaneous turn they present the under white side of their wings to the light of heaven.

But the current, though eddying and sluggish, set towards Union.

Through the calm and frosty air Of this morning bright and fair, Eddying round and round they sink Softly, slowly: one might think, 10 From the motions that are made, Every little leaf conveyed Sylph or Faery hither tending, To this lower world descending, Each invisible and mute, 15 In his wavering parachute.
