Page 166 - As when fire is with water commix'd and contending, And the spray of its wrath to the welkin up-soars, And flood upon flood hurries on, never ending ; And it never will rest, nor from travail be free, Like a sea that is laboring the birth of a sea.
Page 173 - May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is? 20 For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears : we would know therefore what these things mean. 21 (For all the Athenians, and strangers which were there, spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell or to hear some new thing...
Page 199 - Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And, departing, leave behind us, Footprints on the sands of time; Footprints, that perhaps another, Sailing o'er life's solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing, shall take heart again.

Page 168 - O'er earth — the upright And the honest, undreading, Look safe on the night — Which the evil man watches in awe, For the eye of the night is the law!
Page 168 - Wends the wanderer, blithe and cheerly, To the cottage loved so dearly ! And the eye and ear are meeting, Now, the slow sheep homeward bleating— Now, the wonted shelter near, Lowing the lusty-fronted steer ; Creaking, now the heavy wain Reels with the happy harvest grain. While, with many-colored leaves, Glitters the garland on the sheaves; For the mower's work is done, And the young folks...
