On such a night How many tireless travellers may attain The happy goal of their desire
A Lute of Jade by Cranmer-Byng, L. View in context
Sometimes the banks were overhung with thick masses of willows that wholly hid the ground behind; sometimes we had noble hills on one hand, clothed densely with foliage to their tops, and on the other hand open levels blazing with poppies, or clothed in the rich blue of the corn-flower; sometimes we drifted in the shadow of forests, and sometimes along the margin of long stretches of velvety grass, fresh and green and bright, a tireless charm to the eye.
A Tramp Abroad by Twain, Mark View in context
The driver in his bast shoes ran panting up to it, placed a stone under one of its tireless hind wheels, and began arranging the breech-band on his little horse.
War and Peace by Tolstoy, Leo View in context
