Σελίδα 33 - The world is also stablished, that it cannot depart. 2 Thy throne is fix'd of old, and thou from everlasting art. 3 The floods, O Lord, have lifted up, they lifted up their voice ; The floods have lifted up their waves, and made a mighty noise. 4 But yet the Lord, that is on high, is more of might by far Than noise of many waters is, or great sea-billows are.
Σελίδα 76 - Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.
Σελίδα 77 - Bessarabia, made a prey of a Tartar girl, found in the field of a recent battle. Conducting her to his quarters, he met a friend, who, on some pretence, claimed the victim. From angry words they betook themselves to their swords.
Σελίδα 8 - He arrived there just in time to secure a passage. In a few moments the moorings were loosed, and the white cliffs of 'his native land receded fast from his view. He stood with his eyes fixed on the shore he had left, perhaps forever, till the highest stretch of land dwindled to a point, and hung like a light cloud in the distant heavens, and at last faded from his sight. He looked around — the vessel pursued its tranquil course, cutting the deep green waves, and leaving far behind a foamy track...
Σελίδα 14 - Thus let me live, unseen, unknown. Thus unlamented let me die, Steal from the world, and not a stone Tell where I lie.
Σελίδα 11 - At one period they were formed, for an immense depth in front of us. A wheel, executed almost with the rapidity of thought, presented them hovering on our flanks. Then, again, the cloud of dust, that enveloped their movements, cleared away, and presented them in our rear. They evidently operated as a great annoyance to the horses and mules of our cavalcade. The frighted movements, the increased indications of fatigue, sufficiently evidenced, with their frequent neighings, what unpleasant neighbors...
Σελίδα 152 - Morgan would tell such stories about himself, and his strange escapes by sea and land, as caused the sailor's hair to stand on end, and made the jolly fellows look upon him as a person gifted with the privilege of living for ever. He often, indeed, hinted that he had as many lives as a cat, and more than once offered to let himself be hanged for the gratification of his messmates. On more than one occasion he was found lying on his back in his hammock, apparently without life, his eyes fixed and...
Σελίδα 152 - ... fact was, he was so particularly fond of that particular dish, he could not help indulging in it sometimes. However, we talked a great deal on the subject of diet, and not a man of us but believed himself a pattern of abstinence. I continued my custom of riding every fair day, and occasionally met a fat lady fagging along on a little fat pony, with a fat servant behind her. One day when it was excessively hot, I could not help asking her how she could think of riding out in the broiling sun....
Σελίδα 159 - ... repeated his visit every summer for the last seven years, and assures me every time, that, were he not Hardup, he would be Ambler. It would be tedious, neither is it necessary to the moral of my story, to detail the progress I made, and the wonders achieved by Ahasuerus, from the period in which I first took possession of my estate, to that in which I am now writing. Great as they were, they bear no comparison with those I have undergone. My farm is now a little Eden among the high hills, whose...
Σελίδα 54 - The universe was to him a series of events, connected by an undesiguing and inscrutable necessity, and an assemblage of forms, to which no beginning or end can be conceived. Instead of transient views and vague ideas, his meditations on religious points, had been intense. Enthusiasm was added to disbelief, and he not only dissented but abhorred.
