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.

Page 414 - Ah! I have known noble ones who lost their highest hope. And then they disparaged all high hopes. 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...
Page 250 - The prevailing force in my undergraduate days was not Socialism but Kiplingism. Our set was quite exceptional in its socialistic professions. And we were all, you must understand, very distinctly Imperialists also, and professed a vivid sense of the "White Man's Burden."
