Σελίδα 23 - As when the moon, refulgent lamp of night, O'er Heaven's clear azure spreads her sacred light, When not a breath disturbs the deep serene, And not a cloud o'ercasts the solemn scene, Around her throne the vivid planets roll, And stars unnumber'd gild the glowing pole ; O'er the dark trees a yellower verdure shed, And tip with silver every mountain's head...
Σελίδα 23 - O'er the dark trees a yellower verdure shed, And tip with silver every mountain's head ; Then shine the vales, the rocks in prospect rise, A flood of glory bursts from all the skies; The conscious swains, rejoicing in the sight. Eye the blue vault, and bless the useful light.

Far down below, crossed and re-crossed by splashing torrents, sprinkled with the spray...
Σελίδα 221 - While he spoke with a degree of earnestness that indicated sincerity, there was something in the expression of his eye, — a half malicious drollery in its twinkle — that made it exceedingly difficult to say whether his words were uttered in honesty of purpose, or in mere mockery and derision. Whether Stubber rightly understood their import is more than we are able to say ; but it is very probable that he was with all his shrewdness, mystified by one" whose nature was a puzzle to himself. " Let...
Σελίδα 223 - The object I have set before myself in life is to be independent. Is this, then, the road to it?" " You're tryin' to be what no man ever was, or will be, to the world's end, then,
