Strona 29 - Le clocher solitaire s'élevant au loin dans la .vallée a souvent attiré mes regards; souvent j'ai suivi des yeux les oiseaux de passage qui volaient au-dessus de ma tête. Je me figurais les bords ignorés, les climats lointains où ils se rendent; j'aurais 30 voulu être sur leurs ailes.
Strona 9 - Rightly to be great Is not to stir without great argument, But greatly to find quarrel in a straw When honour's at the stake.
Strona 27 - See, see the flowers that below Now as fresh as morning blow; And of all the virgin rose That as bright Aurora shows; How they all unleaved die, Losing their virginity ! Like unto a summer shade, But now born, and now they fade.
Strona 6 - Commissioners of their eligibility in respect of age, health, and character, shall be certified by the said Commissioners to be entitled to be appointed to the Civil Service of India, provided they shall comply with the regulations in force, at the time for that Service. 12.
