cross the seas and scale the mountains

alive and kicking

shake heaven and earth(earth-shaking)

indecisive in one's mind

sack out(go to bed in one's clothes)

Samson at Gaza

faraway,distance from north sea to south sky

penetrating eyesight

regret for not having known each other earlier

wide of the mark(be no skin off somebody's back)

night and day

fox's tail-cloven hoof(something that gives away the evil intention of somebody like a fox tail)

dusky

be in a flap

dull(be repulsively grey)

A sweet rain falls on the parched seedlings.

stress the present,not the past(emphasize the present,slight the past)
