Popular passages
Page 164 - The breath whose might I have invoked in song Descends on me; my spirit's bark is driven, Far from the shore, far from the trembling throng Whose sails were never to the tempest given; The massy earth and sphered skies are riven! I am borne darkly, fearfully, afar; Whilst burning through the inmost veil of Heaven, The soul of Adonais, like a star, Beacons from the abode where the Eternal are.
Page 46 - Only a man harrowing clods In a slow silent walk With an old horse that stumbles and nods Half asleep as they stalk. Only thin smoke without flame From the heaps of couch-grass; Yet this will go onward the same Though Dynasties pass. Ill Yonder a maid and her wight Come whispering by: War's annals will cloud into night Ere their story die.
Page 351 - James's time took an excellent way. That part of the Bible was given to him, who was most excellent in such a tongue, as the Apocrypha to Andrew Downes: and then they met together, and one read the Translation, the rest holding in their hands some Bible, either of the learned tongues, or French, Spanish, Italian, &c. If they found any fault, they spoke; if not, he read on.

Page 28 - And eye that scorcheth all it glares upon; Restless it rolls, now fix'd, and now anon Flashing afar,— and at his iron feet Destruction cowers, to mark what deeds are done; For on this morn three potent nations meet, 430 To shed before his shrine the blood he deems most sweet.
Page 351 - Bible as well as King James's. The Translators in King James's time took an excellent way. That Part of the Bible was given to him who was most excellent in such a Tongue (as the Apocrypha to Andrew Downs) and then they met together, and one...
Page 605 - All sheep and oxen : yea, and the beasts of the field ; The fowls of the air, and the fishes of the sea : and whatsoever walketh through the paths of the seas.
Page 25 - Even when he rose in his place to take part in a discussion which had been long foreseen, he had no notes in his hand and no manuscript in his pocket. If a debate was in prospect, he would turn the subject over while he paced his chamber or tramped along the streets. Each thought, as it rose in his mind, embodied itself in phrases, and clothed itself in an appropriate drapery of images, instances, and quotations ; and when, in the course of his speech, the thought recurred, all the words which gave...
Page 24 - The pains which he had bestowed upon learning to speak the words of others enabled him to concentrate his undivided attention upon the arduous task of improvising his own. If only he could find the thing which required to be said, he was sure to say it in the way that would produce the greatest possible effect. His variety of manner, we are told, was quite as remarkable as the richness of his matter. The modulations of his voice responded exactly to the nature of his subject and the emotions of his...
Page 257 - GOOD little boys should never say "I will," and "Give me these"; O, no! that never is the way, But "Mother, if you please.
