Σελίδα 80 - And there lay the rider distorted and pale, With the dew on his brow, and the rust on his mail, And the tents were all silent, the banners alone, The lances uplifted, the trumpet unblown.
Σελίδα 81 - And the foam of his gasping lay white on the turf, And cold as the spray of the rock-beating surf. And there lay the rider distorted and pale, With the dew on his brow, and the rust on his mail: And the tents were all silent, the banners alone, The lances unlifted, the trumpet unblown. And the widows of Ashur are loud in their wail, And the idols are broke in the temple of Baal; And the might of the Gentile, unsmote by the sword, Hath melted like snow in the glance of the Lord.2 —Lord Byron, The...
Σελίδα 80 - Like the leaves of the forest when summer is green, That host with their banners at sunset were seen: Like the leaves of the forest when autumn hath blown, That host on the morrow lay withered and strown. For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast, And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed; And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill, And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still.
Σελίδα 80 - THE DESTRUCTION OF SENNACHERIB By Lord Byron The Assyrian came down like the wolf on the fold; And his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold; And the sheen of their spears was like stars on the sea, When the blue wave rolls nightly on deep Galilee. Like the leaves of the forest when summer is green, That host with their banners at sunset were seen; Like the leaves of the forest when autumn hath blown, That host on the morrow lay withered and strown.

It may help us see our own lives and surroundings as more fresh and interesting; it may also help us, by recombining the elements in our past experience, to live imaginatively in different times and countries and in characters otherwise remote from our understanding and sympathy.
Σελίδα 2 - The essential object of the literature work of the seventh, eighth, and ninth years is so to appeal to the developing sensibilities of early adolescence as to lead to eager and appreciative reading of books of as high an order as is possible for the given individual, to the end of both present and future development x>f his character and the formation of the habit of turning to good books for companionship in hours of leisure.
Σελίδα 69 - National Society for the Study of Education, Public School Publishing Co., Bloomington, 111.
Σελίδα 43 - The Assyrian, an Aryan, came down upon the city of Ashur like a wolf on the fold; and his garments were gleaming in purple and gold. The points of (their) spears was like stars on the sea, when the tide comes in by night. He had a highly decorated but not very efficient army and undertook the invasion to humble the Chaldeans. The Assyrians defeated the Gentiles and the army was defeated at sunset. The defeat was due to poor generalship. A terrible blast, that is, an explosion struck the enemy and...
Σελίδα 44 - ... something he had on was gleaming in purple and gold, and the something of their spears was like stars on the sea when something happens to the waves at night.
Σελίδα 44 - The blast, that is, the explosion that followed, caused many deaths and the eyes of the deadly awakened and for a moment they were frightened and then their hearts took courage. And there lay the steed with his mouth wide open, but through it there rolled not the breath of his pride. The foam of his grasping lay white on the surf, and cold like the spray of the imprisoned criminal beating against the stone walls.
