Σελίδα 844 - As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
Σελίδα 847 - And Judah and Israel dwelt safely, every man under his vine and under his figtree, from Dan even to Beer-sheba, all the days of Solomon.
Σελίδα 60 - The world was sad ; the garden was a wild ! And man, the hermit, sighed, till woman smiled...
Σελίδα 117 - When water is heated from below, the portion first subjected to the heat rises to the surface, and every portion is successively subjected to the heat and rises, and each, having lost some of its heat at the surface, is in turn displaced. Constant motion is kept up, and a constant approximation to an equal temperature in the whole body. The application of superficial heat has no tendency to disturb the quiescence of water.

Σελίδα 120 - In respect of the depth at which drains may, with a certainty of action, be placed in a soil, I pretend to assign no rule ; for there cannot, in my opinion, be a more crude or mistaken idea than that one rule of depth is applicable with equal efficiency to soils of all kinds.
Σελίδα 44 - He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.
Σελίδα 132 - Deep-drained lands never do burn. Nothing burns sooner than a few inches of soil on a very retentive clay. No land is less subject to burn than the same soil when by...
