Stran 147 - If you're off to Philadelphia this morning, And wish to prove the truth of what I say, I pledge my word you'll find the pleasant land behind Unaltered since Red Jacket rode that way. Still the pine-woods scent the noon; still the catbird sings his tune; Still autumn sets the maple-forest blazing; Still the grape-vine through the dusk flings her soul-compelling musk; Still the fire-flies in the corn make night amazing! They are there, there, there with Earth immortal (Citizens, I give you friendly...
Stran 177 - Or being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream — and not make dreams your master; If you can think — and not make thoughts your aim, If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same ; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out...
Stran 53 - I'm sorry for Fritz when they all come A-rovin', a-rovin', a-roarin' and a-rovin', Round the North Sea rovin', The Lord knows where! A TRUTHFUL SONG THE BRICKLAYER: / tell this tale, which is strictly true, Just by way of convincing you How very little, since things were made, Things have altered in the building trade.
Stran 277 - Wonderful little, when all is said, Wonderful little our fathers knew. Half their remedies cured you dead — Most of their teaching was quite untrue.
Stran 49 - The Queen was in her chamber, and she was middling old, Her petticoat was satin, and her stomacher was gold. Backwards and forwards and sideways did she pass, Making up her mind to face the cruel looking-glass.
Stran 27 - Envy — ah! even to tears! — The fortune of their years Which, though so few, yet so divinely ended. Scarce had they lifted up Life's full and fiery cup, Than they had set it down untouched before them. Before their day arose They beckoned it to close — Close in confusion and destruction o'er them. They did not stay to ask What prize should crown their...
Stran 177 - And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!
Stran 178 - With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And — which is more — you'll be a Man, my son...
Stran 182 - How far is St. Helena from the Capes of Trafalgar ? A longish way — a longish way — with ten year more to run. It's South across the water underneath a setting star. (What you cannot finish you must leave undone!) How far is St. Helena from the Beresina ice ? An ill way — a chill way — the ice begins to crack.
Stran 163 - get the horses. Liberty and Independence for ever! The flowers appear upon the earth and the time of the singing of birds is come.
