Strana 164 - And Joseph made haste ; for his bowels did yearn upon his brother : and he sought where to weep ; and he entered into his chamber, and wept there.
Strana 53 - Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee ; for whither thou goest I will go, and where thou lodgest, I will lodge ; thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God ; where thou diest I will die, and there will I be buried ; the Lord do so to me, and more also, if aught but death part thee and me.
Strana 141 - And bade me creep past. No! let me taste the whole of it, fare like my peers The heroes of old, Bear the brunt, in a minute pay glad life's arrears Of pain, darkness and cold. For sudden the worst turns the best to the brave, The black minute's at end, And the elements' rage, the fiend-voices that rave, Shall dwindle, shall blend, Shall change, shall become first a peace out of pain.
Strana 92 - I look for Ghosts; but none will force Their way to me: — 'tis falsely said That there was ever intercourse Between the living and the dead; For, surely, then I should have sight Of Him I wait for day and night, With love and longings infinite.
Strana 26 - Than no to be married ava," was a rhyme that would never have touched the stony heart of Fortune Williams. And yet, let me own it once more, she was very very fond of Robert Roy. He had never spoken to her one word of love, actual love, no more than he spoke now, as they stood side by side, looking with the same eyes upon the same scene.
Strana 141 - Till, sudden, the worst turns the best to the brave. The black minute's at end: And the elements rage, the fiend voices that rave Shall dwindle, shall blend, Shall change, shall become first a peace, then a joy, Then a light—then thy breast, O thou soul of my soull I shall clasp thee again, And with God be the rest!
Strana 12 - ... between the two whom heaven has designed and meant to become one ; a completed existence. If by any mischance this does not come about, each may lead a very creditable and not unhappy life ; but it will be a locked-up life, one to which no third person is ever likely to find the key. Whether such natures are to be envied or pitied is more than I can say; but at least they are more to be respected than the people who wear their hearts upon their sleeves for daws to peck at...
Strana 40 - If, instead of looking vaguely out upon the sea, he had looked into this poor girl's face; if, instead of keeping silence, he had only spoken one word! But he neither looked nor spoke, and the moment passed by. And there are moments which people would sometimes give a whole lifetime to recall, and use differently; but in vain. "My engagement is only for three years," he resumed; "and then, if alive, I mean to come back.
Strana 165 - And women are your only civilizers," said he. "That is why I wish my motherless lads to be taken into this household of yours, Miss Williams, which looks so — so comfortable," and he glanced round the pretty parlor with something very like a sigh. "I hope you will consider the matter, and let me know as soon as you have made up your mind.
Strana 126 - that point in life when,' according to Miss Mulock, 'we cease to be afraid of evil tidings, since nothing is likely to happen to us beyond what has happened.' She thought she had become utterly indifferent to everything, yet the sudden advent of ' Birdie ' was a shock to her, nor was the affair likely to pass soon away. Returning one day from a four-o'clock drive in the then empty Row, she asked if Sir Ayling had returned from Westminster, whither he had gone...
