Strona 103 - Yet still there whispers the small voice within, Heard through Gain's silence, and o'er Glory's din : Whatever creed be taught or land be trod, Man's conscience is the oracle of God.
Strona 207 - Foundery would only make a stop and lift up their hands, turn up the whites of their eyes, shake their heads, groan, and pass on.
