Stran 191 - Every word which is used to express a moral or intellectual fact, if traced to its root, is found to be borrowed from some material appearance. Right means straight ; wrong means twisted. Spirit primarily means wind ; transgression, the crossing of a line ; supercilious, the raising of the eyebrow.
Stran 156 - Here still a lofty rock remains, On which the curious eye may trace (Now wasted half by wearing rains) The fancies of a ruder race.
Stran 110 - But misery brought in love — in passion's strife Man gave his heart to mercy pleading long, And sought out gentle deeds to gladden life ; The weak, against the sons of spoil and wrong, Banded, and watched their hamlets, and grew strong. States rote, and, in the shadow of their might, The timid rested.
Stran 191 - ... natural appearance as its picture. An enraged man is a lion, a cunning man is a fox", a firm man is a rock, a learned man is a torch. A lamb is innocence ; a snake is subtle spite ; flowers express to us the delicate affections. Light and darkness are our familiar expression for knowledge and ignorance ; and heat for love. Visible distance behind and before us is respectively our image of memory and hope.
Stran 233 - Father, have pity on me, Father, have pity on me; I am crying for thirst, I am crying for thirst; All is gone — I have nothing to eat.
Stran 203 - Indians, when the hunters failed to find the buffalos on which the tribe depended for food, every man brought out of his lodge the mask made of a buffalo's head and horns, with the tail hanging down behind, which he kept for such an emergency, and they all set to dance buffalo.
Stran 233 - This is the most pathetic of the Ghost-dance songs. It is sung to a plaintive tune, sometimes with tears rolling down the cheeks of the dancers as the words would bring up thoughts of their present miserable and dependent condition.
Stran 17 - Lands intersected by a narrow frith Abhor each other. Mountains interposed Make enemies of nations, who had else Like kindred drops been mingled into one.
Stran 123 - The gentile organization opens to us one of the oldest and most widely prevalent institutions of mankind. It furnished the nearly universal plan of government of ancient society, Asiatic, European, African, American and Australian. It was the instrumentality by means of which society was organized and held together.
Stran 182 - O inundation of Nile, offerings are made to thee ; Oxen are slain to thee ; Great festivals are kept for thee ; Fowls are sacrificed to thee ; Beasts of the field are caught for thee ; Pure flames are offered to thee ; Offerings are made to every god, As they are made unto Nile.
