Strana 209 - And they said, Go to, let us build us a city, and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven ; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
Strana 182 - If we could open and intend our eye, We all, like Moses, should espy Ev'n in a bush the radiant Deity. But we despise these his inferior ways (Though no less full of miracle and praise) : Upon the flowers of heaven we gaze ; The stars of earth no wonder in us raise, Though these perhaps do, more than they, The life of mankind sway.
Strana 230 - Thus would I double my life's fading space, For he that runs it well, twice runs his race.

Strana 173 - I never had any other desire so strong and so like to covetousness, as that one which I have had always that I might be master at last of a small house and large garden, with very moderate conveniences joined to them, and there dedicate the remainder of my life only to the culture of them and study of nature ; "And there, (with no design beyond my wall) whole and entire to lie, In no unactive ease and no unglorious poverty ; or, as Virgil has said, shorter and better for me.
