Page 184 - Darkling I listen ; and for many a time I have been half in love with easeful death, Call'd him soft names in many a mused rhyme, To take into the air my quiet breath ; Now more than ever seems it rich to die, To cease upon the midnight with no pain, While thou art pouring forth thy soul abroad In such an ecstasy ! Still wouldst thou sing, and I have ears in vain — To thy high requiem become a sod.
Page 8 - Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land. The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars. She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.
Page 78 - The thoughts and feelings of Columbus in this little space of time must have been tumultuous and intense. At length, in spite of every difficulty and danger, he had accomplished his object.

Decrepit age, and vigorous life, and blooming youth, and helpless infancy, poured forth — on crutches, in the pride of strength and health, in the full blush of promise, in the mere dawn of life — to gather round her tomb.
Page 192 - Le soleil s'est couché ce soir dans les nuées; Demain viendra l'orage, et le soir, et la nuit; Puis l'aube, et ses clartés de vapeurs obstruées; Puis les nuits, puis les jours, pas du temps qui s'enfuit! Tous ces jours passeront; ils passeront en foule Sur la face des mers, sur la face des monts, Sur les fleuves d'argent, sur les forêts où roule Comme un hymne confus des morts que nous aimons.
