arrowy

I feel her arrowy beam Already, for her spirit is awake, And passes down the future like a gleam, - Thus have I made the woman of my dream.

Strong must she be and gentle, like a star Her soul burn whitely; nor its arrowy beam May any cloud of superstition mar: True to the earth she is, patient and calm.

Near the end of March, 1845, I borrowed an axe and went down to the woods by Walden Pond, nearest to where I intended to build my house, and began to cut down some tall, arrowy white pines, still in their youth, for timber.

Next, glorious bars of light sprang up across the eastern sky, and through them the radiant messengers of the dawn came speeding upon their arrowy way, scattering the ghostly vapours and awaking the mountains with a kiss, as they flew from range to range and longitude to longitude.
