Σελίδα 415 - And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and: behold, a company of Ishmaelites came from Gilead, with their camels bearing spicery, and balm, and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.
Σελίδα 419 - Repeats the story of her birth; Whilst all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they roll, And spread the truth from pole to pole. What...
Σελίδα 72 - An agreement that by its terms is not to be performed within a year from the making thereof; 2.
Σελίδα 269 - For it is most true that a natural and secret hatred and aversation towards society in any man, hath somewhat of the savage beast; but it is most untrue that it should have any character at all of the divine nature ; except it proceed, not out of a pleasure in solitude, but out of a love and desire to sequester a man's self for a higher conversation...
Σελίδα 2 - To men of other minds my fancy flies, Embosom'd in the deep where Holland lies. Methinks her patient sons before me stand, Where the broad ocean leans against the land, And, sedulous to stop the coming tide, Lift the tall rampire's artificial pride.

Σελίδα 318 - He is an evening reveller, who makes His life an infancy, and sings his fill; At intervals, some bird from out the brakes Starts into voice a moment, then is still. There seems a floating whisper on the hill, But that is fancy, for the starlight dews All silently their tears of love instil, Weeping themselves away, till they infuse Deep into Nature's breast the spirit of her hues.
Σελίδα 317 - ... suage, With solemn touches troubled thoughts, and chase Anguish, and doubt, and fear, and sorrow, and pain From mortal or immortal minds. Thus they, Breathing united force, with fixed thought...
Σελίδα 211 - Salisbury plain, and fall into rank and file in the exact order of an army ? And, yet, this is much more easy to be imagined than how the innumerable blind parts of matter should rendezvous themselves into a world.
Σελίδα 2 - All school-days' friendship, childhood innocence?
