Stran 286 - Many a man lives a burden to the earth ; but a good book is the precious lifeblood of a master-spirit embalmed and treasured up on purpose to a life beyond life.
Stran 196 - WHEN a man and his horse differ seriously in public, and the man feels the horse has the best of it, it is wise for the man to appear to accommodate his views to those of the horse, rather than risk a defeat. It is best to let the horse go his way, and pretend it is yours. There is no secret so close as that between a rider and his horse.
Stran 560 - Unheard-of stories of the universal increase of witches in New England; men, women, and children, devoting themselves to the devil, so as to threaten the subversion of the government...
Stran 142 - Let worth grow frenzied if it will; The caliph's judgment shall be master still. Go, and since gifts so move thee, take this gem, The richest in the Tartar's diadem, And hold the giver as thou deemest fit!
Stran 259 - C'est le travail aride et la nuit studieuse, Tandis que la maison s'endort silencieuse, Et que, pour rafraîchir son labeur échauffant, On a tout près de soi le sommeil d'un enfant, Laissons aux cerveaux creux ou bien aux égoïstes Ces désordres, au fond si vides et si tristes, Ces amours sans lien et dont l'impiété A l'égal d'un malheur craint la fécondité. Mais, nous autres, soyons des pères, c'est-à-dire, Mettons dans nos maisons, comme un chaste sourire, Une compagne pure en tout et...
Stran 509 - It is, indeed, a work which, as we read it, stirs us with the spirit of the times it describes ; and as we lay it down and recollect the intellectual condition of Europe when it was written, and for a long period before, it seems certain, that, during the thousand years which elapsed from the time of the decay of Greek and Roman culture, down to the appearance of the ' Divina Commedia,' no poetry was produced so original in its tone, or so full of natural feeling, picturesqueness, and energy.
Stran 173 - Such guaranties would do more to secure the completion of the communication through the territory of Mexico than any other reasonable consideration that could be offered; and as Mexico herself would be the greatest gainer by the opening of this communication between the Gulf and the Pacific Ocean, it is presumed that she would not hesitate to yield her aid in the manner proposed to accomplish an improvement so important to her own best interests.
Stran 96 - In these ways and by fishing, the stock of provisions might be greatly augmented — and we have the recent example of Mr. Rae, who passed a severe winter on the very barren shores of Repulse Bay, with no other fuel than the withered tufts of a herbaceous andromada, and maintained a numerous party on the spoils of the chase alone for a whole year.
Stran 515 - Away ! away ! proud Roderic ! Castilian proud, away ! Bethink thce of that olden time, That happy, honoured day, When, at St. James's holy shrine. Thy knighthood first was won ; When Ferdinand, my royal sire, Confessed thee for a son. He gave thee then thy knightly arms. My mother gave thy steed ; Thy spurs were buckled by these hands. That thou no grace might'st need. And had not chance forbid the TOW.
Stran 191 - Europe consent to this arrangement, (and we have no reason to suppose that a proposition so fair and honorable will be opposed by any,) the energies of their people and ours will co-operate in promoting the success of the enterprise. I do not recommend any appropriation from the National Treasury for this purpose, nor do I believe that such an appropriation is necessary. Private enterprise, if properly protected, will complete the work, should it prove to be feasible. The parties who have procured...
