Page 172 - The wrong of unshapely things is a wrong too great to be told ; I hunger to build them anew and sit on a green knoll apart, With the earth and the sky and the water, remade, like a casket of gold For my dreams of your image that blossoms a rose in the deeps of my heart.
Page 261 - Go, wretch, resign the presidential chair, Disclose thy secret measures, foul or fair. Go, search with curious eye, for horned frogs, Mid the wild wastes of Louisianian bogs; Or, where Ohio rolls his turbid stream, Dig for huge bones, thy glory and thy theme.
Page 133 - Scattering wide or blown in ranks, Yellow and white and brown, Boats and boats from the fishing banks Come home to Gloucester town. There is cash to purse and spend, There are wives to be embraced.
Page 39 - Mr. Cowper, you have not spoke since I came in: have you resolved never to speak again ?' it would be but a poor reply if in answer to the summons I should plead inability as my best and only excuse. And this by the way suggests to me a seasonable piece of instruction, and reminds me of what I am very apt to forget, when I have any epistolary business in hand, that a letter may be written upon anything or nothing, just as that anything or nothing happens to occur.
Page 310 - THE folk who lived in Shakespeare's day And saw that gentle figure pass By London Bridge, his frequent way — They little knew what man he was. The pointed beard, the courteous mien, The equal port to high and low, All this they saw or might have seen — But not the light behind the brow ! The doublet's modest gray or brown, The slender sword-hilt's plain device, What sign had these for prince or clown ? Few turned, or none, to scan him twice. Yet...
Page 40 - ... or nothing happens to occur. A man that has a journey before him twenty miles in length, which he is to perform on foot, will not hesitate and doubt whether he shall set out or not, because he does not readily conceive how he shall ever reach the end of it ; for he knows that, by the simple operation of moving one foot forward first and then the other, he shall be sure to accomplish it.
Page 42 - Here is a glorious sunshiny day : all the morning I read about Nero in Tacitus lying at full length on a bench in the garden : a nightingale singing, and some red anemones eyeing the sun manfully not far off. A funny mixture all this : Nero, and the delicacy of Spring: all very human however.

So it is in the present case, and so it is in every similar case. A...
Page 133 - O little sails, make haste! But thou, vast outbound ship of souls, What harbor town for thee? What shapes, when thy arriving tolls, Shall crowd the banks to see? Shall all the happy shipmates then Stand singing brotherly? Or shall a haggard ruthless few Warp her over and bring her to, While the many broken souls of men 90 Fester down in the slaver's pen, And nothing to say or do?
Page 275 - On the 4th of March next I shall have served three and a half years, and this three and a half years constitute my first term.
