They did not talk much, for the sun was getting high. The air they felt like a warm bath into which hotter water is trickling constantly, the temperature ro and ro, the boulders said, “I am alive,” the small stones answered, “I am almost alive.”Between the chinks lay the ashes of little plants.

And having no one el to speak to on that eternal rock, she gave rein to the subject, of marriage and said in her honest, decent, inquisitive way: ‘Have you one wife or more than one?’
The question shocked the young man very much. It challenged a new conviction of his community, a
nd new convictions are more nsitive than old. If she had said, ‘D o you worship one god or veral?’ he would not have objected. But to ask an educated India Moslem how many wives he has—appalling, hideous! He was in trouble how to conceal his confusion. ‘One, one in my own particular ca,’ he spluttered, and let go of her hand. Quite a number of caves were at the top of the track, and thinking, ‘Damn the English even at their best,’ he plunged into one of them to recover his balance. She followed at her leisure, quite unconscious that she had said the wrong thing, and not eing him, she also went into a cave, thinking with half her mind ‘sight-eing bores me’, and wondering with the other half about marriage.

That’s my Duchess painted on the wall,
looking as if she were alive. I call
That piece a wonder, now: Frà Pandolf’s hands
Worked busily a day, and there she stands.
Will’t plea you sit and look at her?
[……]
—E’en then would be some stooping; and I choo
Never to stoop. Oh sir, she smiled, no doubt,
When’er I pasd her; but who pasd without
Much the same smile? This grew; I gave commands;
Then all smiles stopped together. There she stands
As if alive. Will’t plea you ri? We’ll meet
The Company below, then. I repeat.
The count your master’s known munificence
Is ample warrant that no just preten
Of mine for dowry will be disallowed;
描写人物品质的成语Though his fair daughter’s lf, as I avowed
At starting, is my object. Nay, we’ll go

—And who is the best poet, Heron? asked Boland.
—Lord Tennyson, of cour, answered Heron.
—O, yes, Lord Tennyson, said Nash. We have all his poetry at home in a book. At this Stephen forgot the silent vows he had been making and burst out: —Tennyson a poet! Why, he’s only a rhymester!
—O, get out! said Heron. Everyone knows that Tennyson is the greatest poet. —And who do you think is the greatest poet? asked Boland, nudging his neighbor. —Byron, of cour, answered Stephen.
Heron gave the lead and all three joined in a scornful laugh.

—What are you laughing at? asked Stephen.
—You, said Heron. Byron the greatest poet! He’s only a poet for uneducated people.
—He must be a fine poet! said Boland.
—You may keep your mouth shut, said Stephen, turning on him boldly. All you know about poetry is what you wrote up on the slates in the yard and were going to be nt to the loft for.
Boland, in fact, was said to have written on the slates in the yard a couplet about a classmate of his who often rode home from the college on a pony:
As Tyson was riding into Jerusalem
He fell and hurt his Alec Kafoozelum.

—I don’t care what he was, cried Stephen hotly.
—You don’t care whether he was a heretic or not? said Nash.
—What do you know about it? shouted Stephen. You never read a line of anything in your life except a trans, or Boland either.
—I know that Byron was a bad man, said Boland.
—Here, catch hold of this heretic, Heron called out. In a moment Stephen was a prisoner.
—Tate made you buck up the other day (5), Heron went on, about the heresy in your essay.
—I’ll tell him tomorrow, said Boland.
—Will you? said Stephen. You’d be afraid to open your lips.
—Afraid?
—Ay. Afraid of your life.
—Behave yourlf! cried Heron, cutting at Stephen’s legs with his cane.
