(mark twain, the adventures of huckleberry finn)
she had pagan eyes, full of nocturnal mysteries, and their light, as it came and went, and came again, was partially hampered by their oppressive lids and lashes; and of these the under lid was much fuller than it usually is with english women. this enabled her to indulge in reverie without seeming to do so—she might have been believed capable of sleeping without closing them up. assuming that the souls of men and women were visible essences, you could fancy the colour of eustacia's soul to be flamelike. the sparks from it that rose into her dark pupils gave the same impression.
(thomas hardy, the return of the native)
then the gardener's eldest son set out and thought to find the golden bird very easily; and when he had gone but a little way, he came to a wood, and by the side of the wood he saw a fox sitting; so he took his bow and made ready to shoot at it. then the fox said, 'do not shoot me, for i will give you good counsel; i know what your business is, and that you want to find the golden bird. you will reach a village in the evening; and when you get there, you will see two inns opposite to each
other, one of which is very pleasant and beautiful to look at: go not in there, but rest for the night in the other, though it may appear to you to be very poor and mean.'
(jacob grimm and wilhelm grimm, grimm's’ fairy tales)
now, as christian was walking solitarily by himself, he espied one afar off, come crossing over the field to meet him; and their hap was to meet just as they were crossing the way of each other. the gentleman's name that met him was mr. worldly wiseman, he dwelt in the town of carnal policy, a very great town, and also hard by from whence christian came. this man, then, meeting with christian, and having some inkling of him,—for christian's setting forth from the city of destruction was much noised abroad, not only in the town where he dwelt, but also it began to be the town talk in some other places,—mr. worldly wiseman, therefore, having some guess of him, by beholding his laborious going, by observing his sighs and groans, and the like, began thus to enter into some talk with christian.

When i was young enough to still spend a long time buttoning my shoes in the morning, i'd listen toward the hall: daddy upstairs was shaving, in the bathroom, and mother downstairs was frying the bacon. they would begin whispering back and forth to each other up and down the stairwell. my father would whistle his phrase, my mother would try to whistle, then hum hers backi drew my buttonhook in and out and listened to it -know it was "the merry widow." the difference was, their song almost floated with laughter. how different from the record, which growled from the beginning, as if the victrola were only slowly being wound up. they kept it running between them, up and down the stairs where i was now just about ready to run clattering down and show them my shoes. what is the effect of the parallelism used in the above excerpt? it establishes the rhythm of a duet to echo the song. it expresses the same ideas. it mirrors opposite ideas. it is a paradox.
