Page 7 - And got to thinking over our trip down the river; and I see Jim before me all the time: in the day and in the night-time, sometimes moonlight, sometimes storms, and we a -floating along, talking and singing and laughing.
Page 251 - eathen in 'is blindness bows down to wood an' stone; 'E don't obey no orders unless they is 'is own; 'E keeps 'is side-arms awful: 'e leaves 'em all about, An' then comes up the regiment an
Page 296 - Heaven's central gates. Masts in the offing wagged their tops; The swinging waves pealed on the shore; The saffron beach, all diamond drops And beads of surge, prolonged the roar.

They then lived unabashed, gratifying temporary pleasures, and seldom laid out plans for more than a day. " 'Spirit is voluptuousness !' they said. Then the wings of their spirit broke, and now it creeps about, befouling where it gnaws. "Once they thought of becoming heroes; now they are sensualists. The hero is a trouble and a terror to them. "But by my love and hope I conjure thee: cast not away the...
