Signore, no,I think of it every time I hear a plash in the canals, and every time I think of it I curse the Ancona-man in my heart.

What plash, what plunge the liquid glass destroys?

Blaize followed them, but not without receiving a few accidental plashes from the fiery torrents, which elicited from him the most astounding yells.

The stillness was ominous; there being no sound save the plash of a muskrat as he skurried through a dismal, dark pool near by.

Like one that strives to shun a little plash Of shallow water, and (avoiding it) Plunges into a river past his depth: Like one that from a small spark steps aside, And falls in headlong to a greater flame.

Already thou art growing dim, And distant on the fast receding shore; The tide is strong, but still I trust in Him, And know that I shall safely struggle o'er, For now the plash on yonder shore I hear, Amid sweet angel voices calm and clear.
