Stran 150 - Let us swear an oath, and keep it with an equal mind, In the hollow Lotos-land to live and lie reclined On the hills like Gods together, careless of mankind.
Stran 135 - COURAGE!' he said, and pointed toward the land, 'This mounting wave will roll us shoreward soon.' In the afternoon they came unto a land In which it seemed always afternoon. All round the coast the languid air did swoon, Breathing like one that hath a weary dream.
Stran 612 - Three merry boys, and three merry boys, And three merry boys are we, As ever did sing in a hempen string Under the gallows tree!
Stran 134 - For ever silent; even if they broke In thunder, silent; yet remember all He spoke among you, and the Man who spoke; Who never sold the truth to serve the hour, Nor paltered with Eternal God for power...
Stran 134 - ... disappears; Ashes to ashes, dust to dust; He is gone who seem'd so great.— Gone; but nothing can bereave him Of the force he made his own Being here, and we believe him Something far advanced in State, And that he wears a truer crown Than any wreath that man can weave him.

Famines, epidemics, earthquakes,...
Stran 363 - An embroidered shirt, cravat of white jaconet tastefully tied, a blue damask vest, short clothes of crimson velvet, a bright green cloth jacket, with large silver buttons, and shoes of embroidered deer-skin.
Stran 168 - Bis vincit, qui se vincit in victoria" — he conquers twice who conquers himself in victory. Though outwardly mild and humble, a fire of devoted enthusiasm burned within ; but with self sacrificed — so subordinated that he envied his divine master but one thing, crucifixion — this fire shot forth occasionally, when he fancied his redeemer slighted or insulted, but never for slight or insult placed upon himself. Hear how a brother friar tells in orthodox tones the story of his life: "Junipero...
Stran 277 - ... sons bringing to the paternal roof their wives and seating them at the ever-lengthening table. Additions were sometimes made to that most comfortable of buildings, the family adobe, and if here was not the highest intelligence and refinement, happiness was present. On the other hand, as Sanchez says, the women were not without their champions. Chico and Pico CAL. PAST., VOL. I. 20 ( 805 ) did the most for them, and for their education, according to tradition, refusing them nothing.
Stran 277 - Century Women were not treated with the greatest respect: in Latin and in savage countries they seldom are; hence, as these were half Latin and half savage, we are not surprised to learn that the men too often idled away their time, leaving the women to do all the work and rear the family.
