Side 95 - ... is called resignation is confirmed desperation. From the desperate city you go into the desperate country, and have to console yourself with the bravery of minks and musk-rats. A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind. There is no play in them, for this comes after work. But it is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things.
Side 11 - Earth felt the wound, and Nature from her seat Sighing through all her Works gave signs of woe, That all was lost.
Side 131 - Though the mills of God grind slowly, yet they grind exceeding small; Though with patience he stands waiting, with exactness grinds he all.
Side 13 - Under the arch of Life, where love and death, Terror and mystery, guard her shrine, I saw Beauty enthroned ; and though her gaze struck awe, I drew it in as simply as my breath. Hers are the eyes which, over and beneath, The sky and sea bend on thee, — which can draw, By sea or sky or woman, to one law, The allotted bondman of her palm and wreath. This is that Lady Beauty, in whose praise Thy voice and hand shake still, — long known to thee...
Side 93 - A straight old man he was who took his way in silence through the meadows, having passed the period of communication with his fellows ; his old experienced coat hanging long and straight and brown as the...
Side 82 - ... and barbarity of a brutish woman, of which she afterwards repented, when too late. AW was put to his shifts, a great deale of trouble, and knew not what to doe, because his dismiss was suddaine, whereas there should have been a month's warning at least. He was asham'd to go to a publick house, because he was a senior master, and because his relations lived in Oxon : and to go to Merton Coll. (which he had left, as to his diet, for several yeares before) he was much resolv'd in himself against...
Side 95 - Yes, I did eat $8 74, all told ; but I should not thus unblushingly publish my guilt, if I did not know that most of my readers were equally guilty with myself, and that their deeds would look no better in print. The next year I sometimes caught a mess of fish for my dinner, and once I went so far as to slaughter a woodchuck which ravaged my bean-field, — effect his transmigration, as a Tartar would say, — and devour him, partly for experiment's sake ; but though it afforded me a momentary enjoyment...
Side 92 - It appears to be a law that you cannot have a deep sympathy with both man and nature. Those qualities which bring you near to the one estrange you from the other.
Side 217 - The morning hoar, the evening chill ; Reluctant comes the timid Spring. Scarce a bee, with airy ring, Murmurs the blossom'd boughs around, That clothe the garden's southern bound : Scarce a sickly straggling flower Decks the rough castle's rified tower : Scarce the hardy primrose peeps From the dark dell's entangled steeps : O'er the field of waving broom.
Side 11 - And see the newborn woodflowers bashful-eyed Look through the golden tresses here and there. On these debateable borders of the year Spring's foot half falters : scarce she yet may know The leafless blackthorn-blossom from the snow ; And through her bowers the wind's way still is clear. But April's sun strikes down the glades to-day ; So shut your eyes upturned, and feel my kiss Creep, as the Spring now thrills through every spray, Up your warm throat to your warm lips : for this Is even the hour...
