Popular passages
Page 183 - The isles of Greece ! the isles of Greece ! "Where burning Sappho loved and sung, Where grew the arts of war and peace, Where Delos rose, and Phoebus sprung ! Eternal summer gilds them yet, But all, except their sun, is set.
Page 19 - John Brown's body lies amouldering in the grave, But his soul goes marching on.
Page 19 - mongst the rest they placed the arts divine. But this weak knot they will full soon untie, The Greeks did nought, but play the fools and lie. Let Greeks be Greeks, and women what they are Men have precedency and still excel, It is but vain unjustly to wage war; Men can do best, and women know it well.

Page 153 - This flight lasted only 12 seconds but it was nevertheless the first in the history of the world in which a machine carrying a man had raised itself by its own power into the air in full flight' had sailed forward without reduction of speed and had finally landed at a point as high as that from which it started.
Page 153 - As a result, the machine would rise suddenly to about ten feet and then as suddenly dart for the ground. A sudden dart when a little over a hundred feet from the end of the track or a little over 120 feet from the point at which it rose into the air, ended the flight.
Page 19 - So with a sudden effort I sprang out of bed and found in the dimness an old stump of a pen which I remembered to have used the day before. I scrawled the verses almost without looking at the paper.
