Strana 169 - EXCEPT the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it : except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
Strana 228 - THE world's a room of sickness, where each heart Knows its own anguish and unrest ; The truest wisdom there, and noblest art, Is his who skills of comfort best ; Whom by the softest step and gentlest tone Enfeebled spirits own, And love to raise the languid eye, When, like an angel's wing, they feel him fleeting by...
Strana 19 - Is this Improvement ? — where the human breed Degenerates as they swarm and overflow, Till Toil grows cheaper than the trodden weed, And man competes with man, like foe w:ith foe, Till Death, that thins them, scarce seems public woe?
Strana 159 - Tis thus Omnipotence his law fulfils, And Vengeance executes what Justice wills. Again — the band of commerce was design'd To' associate all the branches of mankind ; And if a boundless plenty be the robe, Trade is the golden girdle of the globe.

He will then find, not only what a stupid dread of innovation, but what a savage spirit it has infused into the minds of many of his countrymen.
Strana 44 - But it is to you, ye Workers, who do already work, and are as grown men, noble and honourable in a sort, that the whole world calls for new work and nobleness. Subdue mutiny, discord, wide-spread despair, by manfulness, justice, mercy and wisdom. Chaos is dark, deep as Hell ; let light be, and there is instead a green flowery World. Oh, it is great, and there is no other greatness. To make some nook of God's Creation a little fruitfuller, better, more worthy of God...
Strana 237 - The human sorrow and smart ! And yet it never was in my soul To play so ill a part : But evil is wrought by want of thought As well as by want of heart!
