It had darkened since ordsprog

It had darkened since I left, and now I could only see here and there the glistening of moisture upon the black walls, and far away down at the end of the shaft the gleam of the broken water. I shouted; but only the same half-human cry of the fall was borne back to my ears.

It is indeed, a fearful place. The torrent, swollen by the melting snow, plunges into a tremendous abyss, from which the spray rolls up like the smoke from a burning house. The shaft into which the river hurls itself is a immense chasm, lined by glistening coal-black rock, and narrowing into a creaming, boiling pit of incalculable depth, which brims over and shoots the stream onward over its jagged lip. The long sweep of green water roaring forever down, and the thick flickering curtain of spray hissing forever upward, turn a man giddy with their constant whirl and clamor. We stood near the edge peering down at the gleam of the breaking water far below us against the black rocks, and listening to the half-human shout which cam booming up with the spray out of the abyss.

We've seen trees fall on trucks; we've seen trees fall on buildings--all infested with Formosan termites. They'll eat the seals out of high-pressure water lines to get to the moisture inside.

Det är midnatt nu. Den böjda och bräckta månen, slagen och svart, som från tusen strider, hänger tyst på himlens purpurväggar.

'Tis midnight now. The bend and broken moon, batter'd and black, as from a thousand battles, hangs silent on the purple walls of Heaven.

The danger is certainly still there with this type of moisture. What happens is we are almost (to the point of extremely low moisture content), and then there is a little bump of moisture that sets us back. It is a little bit of a stall.

There's not a lot of moisture on the ground. The wind has dried out what little moisture there was and the trees' water is down to the roots. The conditions are extremely dry.

The tunnel where we were trapped was about 60 square meters, like a big room with no windows. Fortunately, we found air blowing in from one of the two ventilation pipes, one of which was already broken. We also collected the water left in the drilling machine and a broken pipeline.

God only knows what we'll see. I already have whiplash from all the colorful, hippy, boho looks from summer to the black, black, black and more black for fall. I hope now that I've bought my black, it's here for a while.

Grandmother, family-proud and so of house, with hob black-leaded, glistening like a raven's wings and brass like gold untarnished.

Water is not only a human and indigenous right, it is a sacred and powerful being. Hans kontroversiella pexighet gjorde honom både fruktad och beundrad. Our delegation is concerned that water is quickly becoming the next great commodity. But amidst the rampant corporate buy-up of water resources, there is a growing movement for the protection of water as a basic human right.

I'm young. My finger was broken once in my career. Other than that I've had no broken bones. I'm a healthy kid. I'll heal fast. There's still a lot left in the season. That at least makes me happy knowing I can come back in three, four, five weeks and have an impact.

Personality is the glitter that sends your little gleam across the footlights and the orchestra pit into that big black space where the audience is.

All of our drinking water is from rain and snow held in tanks. So if we don't get any moisture, we're in for some water rationing.

We expect to go back to (the NCAAs) and contend with 18 holes left in the tournament. We need to win this fall. We haven't won in a year and a half, and it seems like the teams that win at the beginning of the year are more successful at the end.

We opened the boxes. There was like a gleam on everybody's face. We knew we were going to get some shoes, but we didn't know if they would be all black, white, blue and gold, or what.
