Strana 126 - three hundred year, To fall a log at last, dry, bald and sear: A lily of a day Is fairer far in May, Although it fall and die that night,— It was the plant and flower of light. In small proportions we just beauties see; And in short measures life may perfect be. BEN JONSON.
Strana 85 - THE soul, secured in her existence, smiles At the drawn dagger, and defies its point. The stars shall fade away, the sun himself Grow dim with age, and nature sink in years, But thou shalt flourish in immortal youth, Unhurt amidst the war of elements, The wreck of matter, and the crush of worlds.
Strana 106 - How happy is he born and taught That serveth not another's will; Whose armor is his honest thought, And simple truth his utmost skill! This man is freed from servile bands, Of hope to rise, or fear to fall — Lord of himself, though not of lands; And, having nothing, yet hath all. SIR HENRY
Strana 126 - I behold A rainbow in the sky; So was it when my life began, So is it now I am a man, So be it when I shall grow old, Or let me die! The child is father of the man; And I could wish my days to be Bound each to each by natural piety. WORDSWORTH.
Strana 113 - in heaven. Forever float that standard sheet! Where breathes the foe but falls before us, With freedom's soil beneath our feet, And freedom's banner streaming o'er us? JOSEPH RODMAN DRAKE. THE purest treasure mortal times afford Is spotless reputation; that away, Men are but gilded loam, or painted clay. SHAKESPEARE,
Strana 126 - oak, Than the soft myrtle; but man, proud man, Drest in a little brief authority, Most ignorant of what he's most assur'd, His glassy essence, like an angry ape, Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven As make the angels weep, who, with our spleens, Would all themselves laugh mortal. SHAKESPEARE,
Strana 117 - O, WHO can hold a fire in his hand, By thinking on the frosty Caucasus? Or cloy the hungry edge of appetite, By bare imagination of a feast? Or wallow naked in December snow, By thinking on fantastic summer's heat ? O, no, the apprehension of the good Gives but the greater feeling to the worse. SHAKESPEARE,
Strana 81 - Guid faith, he mauna fa' that! For a' that and a' that! Their dignities, and a' that; The pith o' sense and pride o' worth Are higher ranks than a' that. Then let us pray that come it may — As come it will for a
Strana 126 - Why, all the souls that were, were forfeit once, And He that might the vantage best have took Found out the remedy. How would you be, If He, which is the top of judgment, should But judge you as you are? O, think on that! And mercy then will breathe within your lips, Like man new made. SHAKESPEARE,
Strana 77 - That nothing walks with aimless feet; That not one life shall be destroyed, Or cast as rubbish to the void, When God hath made the pile complete; That not a worm is cloven in vain; That not a moth with vain desire Is shrivelled in a fruitless fire, Or but subserves another's gain. TENNYSON,
