Stran 408 - UNDER the wide and starry sky, Dig the grave and let me lie. Glad did I live and gladly die, And I laid me down with a will. This be the verse you grave for me: Here he lies where he longed to be, Home is the sailor, home from sea, And the hunter home from the hill.
Stran 408 - Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee. For whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge. Thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God. Where thou diest, I will die, and there will I be buried. The Lord do so to me, and more also, if aught but death part thee and me.
Stran 509 - No alien land in all the world has any deep strong charm for me but that one, no other land could so longingly and so beseechingly haunt me, sleeping and waking, through half a lifetime, as that one has done. Other things leave me, but it abides; other things change, but it remains the same. For me its balmy airs are always blowing, its summer seas flashing in the sun; the pulsing of its...
Stran 407 - I was toiling, the sweat dripping from my nose, in the hot fit after a squall of rain ; methought you asked me — frankly, was I happy ? Happy (said I) ; I was only happy once ; that was at Hyeres ; it came to an end from a variety of reasons — decline of health, change of place, increase of money, age with his stealing steps ; since then, as before then, I know not what it means.
Stran 407 - I know pleasure still; pleasure with a thousand faces, and none perfect, a thousand tongues all broken, a thousand hands and all of them with scratching nails. High among these I place this delight of weeding out here alone by the garrulous water, under the silence of the high wood, broken by incongruous sounds of birds.
Stran 257 - Trees exposed to the continued rays of the sun overbear when young, also suffer in dry spells, which tends to sap the vitality of the plant, so that under adverse conditions it easily falls a prey to disease and decay. Coffee, when judiciously shaded, is the most vigorous of tropical plants, and no amount of abuse in the way of rough treatment in the picking season, stripping of leaves, etc., through careless handling, can put an end to its existence. The power of recuperation is marvelous. To enter...
Stran 242 - ... that cow-boy dismounted from his horse, explained briefly that he had a wife and two children, and crossed over on foot, leading the horse behind him. The only relief from the flumes was the precipices; and the only relief from the precipices was the flumes, except where the ditch was far under ground, in which case we crossed one horse and rider at a time, on primitive logbridges that swayed and teetered and threatened to carry away. I confess that at first I rode such places with my feet loose...
Stran 241 - ... sharp lava, with the extra weight of a man on their backs, and their hoofs were in better condition than those of the shod horses. The scenery between Vieiras's (where the Kaupo Gap empties into the sea) and Hana, which we covered in half a day, is well worth a week or a month; but, wildly beautiful as it is, it becomes pale and small in comparison with the wonderland that lies beyond the rubber plantations between Hana and the Honomanu Gulch. Two days were required to cover this marvelous stretch,...
Stran 366 - And these lines are remembered better than his description in the same poem of Spring: ''When the wattle gold trembles 'Twixt shadow and shine, When each dew-laden air draught resembles A long draught of wine.
Stran 48 - ... million pesos to be used to assist them in the construction of roads and bridges and to define the relation between the provinces, the bureau of public works, and the insular treasury in regard to the settlement of mutual accounts. An act appropriating the sum of fifty thousand pesos, or so much thereof as may be necessary, to be expended subject to the approval of the Governor General, together with an equal amount to be contributed by private persons interested in the development of the Philippine...
