Side 44 - Since once I sat upon a promontory, And heard a mermaid on a dolphin's back Uttering such dulcet and harmonious breath, That the rude sea grew civil at her song, And certain stars shot madly from their spheres, To hear the sea-maid's music.
Side 1 - True love's the gift which God has given To man alone beneath the heaven : It is not fantasy's hot fire, Whose wishes, soon as granted, fly ; It liveth not in fierce desire, With dead desire it doth not die ; It is the secret sympathy, The silver link, the silken tie, Which heart to heart, and mind to mind, In body and in soul can bind.
Side 35 - Hercules into the northern sea, and so to return to Egypt. The Phoenicians, accordingly, setting out from the Red Sea, navigated the southern sea; when autumn came, they went ashore, and sowed the land, by whatever part of Libya they happened to be sailing, and waited for harvest; then having reaped the corn, they put to sea again.

Side 23 - Soft as the beating of a Seraph's wing, And swift and swifter in the measured dance The tresses gather and the sandals glance, And bright and brighter at the festal board The flagons bubble and the wines are poured ; No lack of goodly company was there, No lack of laughing eyes to light the cheer ; From Dara trooped they, from Daremma's grove The suns of battle and the moons of love ; From where Arsissa's silver waters sleep To Imla's marshes and the inland deep, From pleasant Calah and from...
Side 8 - Thy way of right and duty : grow, thou flower ! With thy sweet kind in peaceful shade — the light Of Truth's high noon is not for tender leaves Which must spread broad in other suns and lift In later lives a crowned head to the sky. Thou who hast worshipped me, I worship thee ! Excellent heart ! learned unknowingly.
Side 23 - And bright and brighter at the festal board The flagons bubble and the wines are poured ; No lack of goodly company was there, No lack of laughing eyes to light the cheer ; From Dara trooped they, from Daremma's grove The suns of battle and the moons of love ; From where Arsissa's silver waters sleep To Imla's marshes and the inland deep, From pleasant Calah and from Sittacene...
Side 104 - Amenhotep III near Thebes, two of which still remain. The more northerly of these was partly destroyed by an earthquake (27 BC) and the upper part thrown down. A curious phenomenon then occurred. Every morning, when the rays of the rising sun touched the statue, it gave forth musical sounds like the twang of a harp string.
Side 35 - ... whatever part of Libya they happened to be sailing, and waited for harvest ; then having reaped the corn, they put to sea again. When two years had thus passed, in the third, having doubled the pillars of Hercules, they arrived in Egypt, and related what to me does not seem credible, but may to others, that as they sailed round Libya, they had the sun on their right hand.
