Σελίδα 32 - The pure streams, the placid lakes, the green hills, and the " fixed mountains looking tranquillity," seemed to reproach him with his desertion of nature's fairer work ; for all the works of nature are linked together by an invisible, " electric chain." Redwood hurried from place to place ; he tried the power of novelty, of activity ; he gazed on those objects that have been the marvel and the delight of the world ; and -when the first excitement was over, he felt that he could not resist the great...

In the silence of the closet, and the dryness of discussion, I can agree with the atheist or the materialist, as to the insolubility of certain questions. But when in the country...

In this arrangement there was a system of checks and balances that produced that singular and felicitous union of diversity of qualities which constituted the rare perfection of Ellen's character.

In the silence of the closet, and the dryness of discussion, I can agree with the atheist or the materialist, as to the insolubility of certain questions.
