The earth seemed hidden under a fine web like the Lady of Shallot wove; soft purple in the west changing to shimmering white in the east. Under me on the left the Vosges, like rounded sand dunes cushioned up with velvety light and dark mosses (really forests). But to the south, standing firmly above the purple cloth like icebergs shone the Alps. My! they looked steep and jagged. The sharp blue shadows on their western...
...third statement is as follows: "The phrases most frequently uttered by Harvard Hughes supporters have to do with every subject on earth except the sole visible and apparently eternal issue of a Republican high tariff, sufficiently recognized by the rest of the country."

If those three facts are granted, as I think they must be, we are forced to the conclusion that Harvard University, being judged by its majority, is exposing...
...while the cheering thousands hang breathless on their move. The decision will be made amid tumultuous joy, the eager operators will flash the word to No Man's Land; while on roofs, in trees, on catboats, in the highest mountain tops and to the far corners of the cornerless earth, uncounted receivers will take up the word, and follow the victorious play...
