To see him striding along the profile of a hill on a windy day, with his clothes bagging and fluttering about him, one might have mistaken him for the genius of famine descending upon the earth, or some scarecrow eloped from a cornfield.
Page 560 - Fair as herself— but the boy gazed on her ; And both were young, and one was beautiful : And both were young — yet not alike in youth.
