Stran 98 - Thou feedest them with the bread of tears : and givest them tears to drink in great measure.
Stran 1 - Upon ancient dynasties of Ethiopian and Egyptian kings - upon Greek and Roman, upon Arab and Ottoman conquerors - upon Napoleon dreaming of an Eastern empire — upon battle and pestilence - upon the ceaseless misery of the Egyptian race - upon keen-eyed travellers - Herodotus yesterday, and Warburton to-day - upon all and more this unworldly Sphynx has watched, and watched like a Providence with the same earnest eyes, and the same sad, tranquil mien.
Stran 98 - God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance ; thy holy temple have they defiled ; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
Stran 246 - In his life of Sir Stafford Northcote, Mr. Andrew Lang records with pride the noble stand taken, not by any mere individual Englishman, but by the English government itself, on an occasion when the purity of the speech was threatened.

Stran 181 - ... practically without any rights of citizenship — or a movement in the direction of recognizing him as a citizen in the true sense of the term. One or the other will prevail.
Stran 47 - ... in critical procedure; and with fresh and rich materials for illumination from without. The conception of literature as a unit is no longer hypothetical; the comparison of national histories has proved it. The idea of a process by evolution may be unproved; but that some process, as by permutation, must obtain is recognized. We no longer look upon the poet as inspired. Literature develops with the entity which produces it, — the common social need and faculty of expression; and it varies according...
Stran 247 - much may by literary persons be forgiven them." It telegraphed that in the wording of the treaty it would under no circumstances endure the insertion of an adverb between the preposition to (the sign of the infinitive) and the verb. Mr. Lang feels justly the heroic nature of this act. Much...
