Strana 237 - Indeed the Lord is in this place, and I knew it not. And trembling he said : How terrible is this place ! this is no other but the house of God, and the gate of heaven.
Strana 145 - I say to you, Love your enemies: do good to them that hate you : and pray for them that persecute and calumniate you : That you may be the children of your Father who is in heaven, who maketh his sun to rise upon the good, and bad, and raineth upon the just and the unjust.
Strana 355 - ... and fell. The arteries of the neck had been severed, and the slumber of martyrdom at once settled on his eyelids. His blood softened, brightened, enriched, and blended inseparably with that of his father, which Lucina had hung about his neck. The mother's sacrifice had been accepted.
Strana 353 - For an instant there was dead silence; the multitude seemed softened, won. The graceful form of the gallant youth, .his now inspired countenance, the thrilling music of his voice, the intrepidity of his speech, and his generous self-devotion to his cause, had wrought upon that cowardly herd.

Strana 182 - They sometimes go quite straight to a great length ; but they are crossed by others, and these again by others, so as to form a complete labyrinth or net-work of subterranean corridors. To be lost among them would easily be fatal.
Strana 7 - Did the mother's heart flutter more than usual, as from a first anxiety, or was there a softer solicitude dimming her eye, that the youth should seize her hand and put it tenderly to his lips, while he thus replied: "Fear nothing, mother most beloved, your son has done nothing that may give you pain. Only say, do you wish to hear all that has befallen me to-day, or only the cause of my late return home?" "Tell me all, dear Pancratius," she answered; "nothing that concerns you can be indifferent to...

This certain hope is laid up in my bosom.
Strana 182 - A catacomb may be divided into three parts, its passages or streets, its chambers or squares, and its churches. The passages are long narrow galleries, cut with tolerable regularity, so that the roof and floor are at right angles with the sides, often so narrow as scarcely to allow two persons to go abreast.
