Verse 27
(27) At her feet.—Literally, between her feet, as though the dauntless woman had stridden over him as he lay in the dead sleep of weariness.
He bowed.—The word means that he suddenly curled up his knees in one contortion of agony.
He fell.—Rolling, perhaps, off the divan on which he was resting.
He lay down.—Motionless in death, after that one convulsive movement.
Dead.—Rather, slaughtered, or murdered. With this one terrific word the scene ends, as with a blow.
Be the first to react on this!
