Popular passages
Page iii - Philosophy baptized In the pure fountain of eternal love Has eyes indeed; and viewing all she sees, As meant to indicate a God to man, Gives Him his praise, and forfeits not her own.
Page 70 - Blue Eyebright ! * loveliest flower of all that grow In flower-loved England ! Flower, whose hedge-side gaze Is like an infant's !

Page 150 - The fire had resounded in the halls : and the voice of the people is heard no more. The stream of Clutha was removed from its place by the fall of the walls. The thistle shook, there, its lonely head : the moss whistled to the wind. The fox looked out from the windows, the rank grass of the wall waved round his head. Desolate is the dwelling of Moina, silence is in the house of her fathers.
