end-stopped

I gave—er—Elisha's whirlagig here a spin and when the black end stopped 'twas p'intin' straight up.

Any glass tube, with its end stopped water-tight, will produce this effect, which is both beautiful and instructive.

This passage must form a snug porch in the winter when it is covered with slabs of frozen snow, and one end stopped up.

Obviously one may find such clear phrase-pauses, without punctuation, as will justify the caption "end-stopped."

The rhythm of the meter is also varied by the alternating of end-stopped and run-on lines, as in the last quotation.
