Σελίδα 44 - Really, now you ask me," said Alice, very much confused, "I don't think " "Then you shouldn't talk,
Σελίδα 15 - A war in South Africa would be one of the most serious wars that could possibly be waged. It would be in the nature of a civil war. It would be a long war, a bitter war, and a costly war; and it would leave behind it the embers of a strife which I believe generations would hardly be long enough to extinguish.
Σελίδα 301 - Yet this little body of thought that lies before me in the shape of a book has existed thousands of years ; nor since the invention of the press, can any thing short of an universal convulsion of nature, abolish it.
Σελίδα 13 - The shepherd swains shall dance and sing For thy delight each May morning: If these delights thy mind may move, Then live with me and be my love.
Σελίδα 175 - With ardor all impassioned, I let my hopes fly free, And deemed the world was fashioned My playing-field to be. The cup of joy was filled then With Fancy's sparkling wine; And all the things I willed then Seemed destined to be mine. Friends had I then in plenty, And every friend was true; Friends always are at twenty, And on to twenty-two.

Σελίδα 15 - Kruger in order to force upon him reforms in the internal affairs of his State, in which secretaries of state, standing in this place, have repudiated all right of interference—that would be a course of action as immoral as it would have been unwise.
Σελίδα 301 - Why, so can I ; or so can any man : But will they come, when you do call for them ? Glend.
Σελίδα 274 - IT wAS a summer evening; Old Kaspar's work was done. And he before his cottage door Was sitting in the sun; And by him sported on the green His little grandchild Wilhelmine. She saw her brother Peterkin Roll something large and round. Which he beside the rivulet In playing there had found; He came to ask what he had found.
Σελίδα 117 - In a just and necessary war, to maintain the rights or honour of my country, I would strip the shirt from my back to support it. But in such a war as this, unjust in its principle, impracticable in its means, and ruinous in its consequences, I would not contribute a single effort, nor a single shilling.
Σελίδα 10 - He heeds no longer, for he cannot hear. None stauncher, till the drive was done, defied Temptation, rooted to his master's side ; None swifter, when his master gave the word, Leapt on his course to track the running bird, And bore it back — ah, many a time and oft ! — His nose as faultless as his mouth was soft. How consciously, how proudly unconcerned Straight to his master's side he then returned, Wagged a glad tail and deemed himself repaid, As in that master's hand the bird he laid ; If,...
