Our blood splashes upward, O gold-heaper, And your purple shows your path ! But the child's sob in the silence curses deeper Than the strong man in his wrath.
Stran 652 - The treatment accorded Russia by her sister nations in 'the months to come will be the acid test of their good will, of their comprehension of her needs as distinguished from their own interests, and of their intelligent and unselfish sympathy.
Stran 379 - The law locks up the man or woman Who steals the goose from off the common ; But leaves the greater villain loose Who steals the common from the goose.
