Strana 253 - Man, this is one of the most extraordinary, that he shall go on from day to day, from week to week, from month to month...
Strana 197 - I have some favourite flowers in spring, among which are the mountain-daisy, the hare-bell, the fox-glove, the wild-brier rose, the budding birch, and the hoary hawthorn, that I view and hang over with particular delight.
