Apparitions.
How fading are the joys we dote upon! Like apparitions seen and gone. 95 JOHN NORRIS: The Parting. Appeal. I have done the state some service, and they know it. No more of that; I pray you in your letters, When you shall these unlucky deeds relate, Speak of me as I am, nothing extenuate, Nor set down aught in malice. 96 SHAKS.: Othello, Act v., Sc. 2. APPARITION. Thin, airy shoals of visionary ghosts. _Odyssey_. HOMER. _Trans. of_ POPE. My people too were scared with eerie sounds, A footstep, a low throbbing in the walls, A noise of falling weights that never fell, Weird whispers, bells that rang without a hand, Door-handles turned when none was at the door, And bolted doors that opened of themselves; And one betwixt the dark and light had seen _Her_, bending by the cradle of her babe. _The Ring_. A. TENNYSON. Great Pompey's shade complains that we are slow, And Scipio's ghost walks unavenged amongst us! _Cato, Act ii. Sc_. 1. J. ADDISON. Now it is the time of night, That the graves, all gaping wide, Every one lets forth his sprite, In the church-way paths to glide. _Midsummer Night's Dream, Act v. Sc_. 1. SHAKESPEARE. For night's swift dragons cut the clouds full fast, And yonder shines Aurora's harbinger; At whose approach, ghosts, wandering here and there, Troop home to churchyards. _Midsummer Night's Dream_, iii, 2. SHAKESPEARE.
