By the fretwork of its radiance through the chinks of our rudely-built cabin I had marked off the hours.

There were towering trees with buttressed trunks, whose leaves made a fretwork against the sky far overhead.

The moths, that were then battening upon its obsolete ledgers and day-books, have rested from their depredations, but other light generations have succeeded, making fine fretwork among their single and double entries.

This vision of frozen music, as some one has described it, is a square building with a dome and walls of perforated fretwork in marble as delicate as Jack Frost ever traced upon a window pane.
