Popularne fragmenty
Strona 84 - And they sung a new song, saying, "Thou art worthy to take the book and to open the seals thereof; for thou wast slain and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred and tongue and people and nation; and hast made us unto our God kings and priests; and we shall reign on the earth.
Strona 219 - Now, if untired, consider, friend, What I avoid to gain my end. I never am at Meeting seen, Meeting, that region of the Spleen ; The broken heart, the busy fiend, The inward call, on Spleen depend. Law, licensed breaking of the peace, To which vacation is disease ; A gipsy diction, scarce known well By the...

Strona 235 - And sign the acquittance for the wrong. He for his creatures must decree More happiness than misery, Or be supposed to create, Curious to try, what 'tis to hate ; And do an act, which rage infers, 'Cause lameness halts, or blindness errs.
Strona 234 - Entium Ens! divinely great!" Hold, Muse, nor melting pinions try, Nor near the blazing glory fly ; Nor, straining, break thy feeble bow, Unfeather'd arrows far to throw Through fields unknown, nor madly stray, Where no ideas mark the way.
Strona 240 - To scripture plainness dress is brought, And speech, apparel to the thought ; They hiss, from instinct, at red coats, And war, whose work is cutting throats, Forbid, and press the law of love : Breathing the spirit of the dove. Lucrative doctrines they detest, As...
