Σελίδα 122 - Yet if we could scorn Hate, and pride, and fear; If we were things born Not to shed a tear, I know not how thy joy we ever should come near. Better than all measures Of delightful sound, Better than all treasures That in books are found, Thy skill to poet were, thou scorner of the ground ! Teach me half the gladness That thy brain must know, Such harmonious madness From my lips would flow The world should listen then — as I am listening now.
Σελίδα 76 - With joy — and oft an unintruding guest, I watched her secret toils from day to day How true she warped the moss to form her nest, And modelled it within with wood and clay. And by and by, like heath-bells gilt with dew, There lay her shining eggs as bright as flowers, Ink-spotted over, shells of green and blue; And there I witnessed, in the summer hours, A brood of nature's minstrels chirp and fly, Glad as the sunshine and the laughing sky.

Σελίδα 272 - In an upright position, it measures, when fully grown, about three feet six inches to the top of the head ; and its length, from the point of the bill to the tip of the tail, is about three feet.
Σελίδα 456 - Thence up he flew, and on the tree of life, The middle tree and highest there that grew, Sat like a cormorant...
Σελίδα 374 - ... a bright light blue; primaries dusky brown; secondaries black; speculum or beauty spot rich green ; tertials, edged with black or light blue, and streaked down their middle with white; the tail, which is pointed, extends two inches beyond the wings; legs and feet yellow, the latter very small; the two crescents of white before the eyes meet OH the throat.
Σελίδα 53 - O'er the still radiance of the lake below : Tranquil its spirit seemed and floated slow ; Even in its very motion there was rest ; While every breath of eve that chanced to blow Wafted the traveller to the beauteous West — Emblem...
Σελίδα 354 - It is highly probable that they extend their migrations under the very pole itself, amid the silent desolation of unknown countries, shut out ever since creation from the prying eye of man by everlasting and insuperable barriers of ice.
