Usage examples of shef.

I did mine on the Moog, but Ann and Shef synthesized whole orchestras.

Shef had expected, given the importance of his mission, to be shown to the great bin-Firnas, the flying man, at once.

Back in the bright daylight, Shef could see that bin-Firnas was flanked by aides and servants, among them the young man Mu'atiyah who had come on the embassy to the North and the ever-present factotum Suleiman.

Shef had made certain large quantities of the poles and cloth that bin-Firnas used for his devices had been taken with them.

One thing bin-Firnas had not realized, with the curious playful reluctance to push a theory to its limits which Shef had already noted as characteristic of this culture: experimenting with manned flight, or boyed flight, would be a good deal safer over a calm sea than a rocky ravine.

Thorvin had told the pair of them to sit to one side while they finished their strange meeting: first him talking, then some kind of discussion in the burring Norse Shef could almost follow, and then a skin of some drink passed ceremoniously from hand to hand.

When he finally stepped over the rowan-festooned cords for the first time, Shef realized that he was now bound to do the most dangerous thing he could in this crowded campment full of eyes and bored intelligences: hurry.

Shef pointed across the smoky, steaming room to a clutch of the army's drabs, who rose from the floor and stretched out the great banner at which they had been frantically stitching.

In the old legionary buildings of York Shef had been shown stairs and galleries that men swore dated from the time of the ancient Romans.

The light was beginning to show in the east as Shef led the rearguard up the final gentle slope to the lodgement that the advance guard had made on the walls of Rome itself, on the very slopes of the Aventine Hill.

Shef walked over, grasped the embedded arrow, worked it backward and forward.

With incredulity Shef saw the towering bulk of Echegorgun step out from behind a dwarf birch tree.

As the first axeman struck at a birch tree, Shef noticed a bundle wedged in its branches.

Shef waved the fifty men he had into a double extended line and led them off in a broad arrow formation.

As Shef looked at it, one center spot seemed to glow, to stand out against the fading colors of his dream, to swell towards him.
