Strona 197 - ... made ; Those are pearls that were his eyes : Nothing of him that doth fade, But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange.
Strona 373 - ... diminution of his store. Measured by our largest terrestrial standards, such a reservoir of power is infinite ; but it is our privilege to rise above these standards, and to regard the sun himself as a speck in infinite extension, — a mere drop in the universal sea. We analyze the space in which he is immersed, and which is the vehicle of his power.
Strona 373 - The natural philosopher of to-day may dwell amid conceptions which beggar those of Milton. So great and grand are they, that, in the contemplation of them, a certain force of character is requisite to preserve us from bewilderment.
Strona 373 - The law of conservation rigidly excludes both creation and annihilation. Waves may change to ripples and ripples to waves, — magnitude may be substituted for number, and number for magnitude, — asteroids may aggregate to suns, suns may resolve themselves into florae and faunae, and florae and faunae melt in air, — the flux of power is eternally the same.

Strona 205 - It may be said that, so far from having a materialistic tendency, the supposed introduction into the earth at successive geological periods of life — sensation — instinct — the intelligence of the higher mammalia bordering on reason — and lastly the improvable reason of Man himself, presents us with a picture " of the ever-increasing dominion of mind over matter.
Strona 74 - Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The similitude of His light is as a niche wherein is a lamp. The lamp is in a glass. The glass is as it were a shining star.
Strona 138 - The wisdom of God receives small honour from those vulgar heads that rudely stare about, and with a gross rusticity admire his works : those highly magnify him, whose judicious inquiry into his acts, and deliberate research into his creatures, return the duty of a devout and learned admiration.
Strona 114 - The ousel-cock, so black of hue, With orange-tawny bill, The throstle with his note so true, The wren with little quill Tita.
Strona 87 - Frequently the septum of the nose assumes a peculiar leaden hue, and small gray spots [glander nodules! varying in size from a pin's head to that of a pea, make their appearance, and precede the formation of glander ulcers.
