Suddenly the earth seemed to be giving way under me.

The earth seemed to be on fire in a hundred different places.

Then the earth seemed to rise up in front of him.

Earth and sea had seemed to be at his master's service.

Then the Earth seemed suddenly to bow out at her.

The earth seemed to be blowing up all about him.

Over a period of months the Earth, like the other planets, would seem to move among the stars.

For a moment the earth seemed to shift beneath him.

Fifteen feet away from the track the earth seemed to give way under her.

The very earth seemed to fall away not 20 yards distant.
