Strona 16 - MY KATE. SHE was not as pretty as women I know, And yet all your best made of sunshine and snow Drop to shade, melt to nought in the longtrodden ways, While she's still remembered on warm and cold days — My Kate. Her air had a meaning, her movements a grace ; You turned from the fairest to gaze on her face : And when you had once seen her forehead and mouth, You saw as distinctly her soul and her truth— My Kate.
Strona 17 - None knelt at her feet as adorers in thrall ; They knelt more to God than they used, that was all; If you praised her as charming, some asked what you meant, But the charm of her presence was felt when she went: My Kate. The weak and the gentle, the ribald and rude, She took as she found them, and did them all good ; It always was so with her — see what you have ! She has made the grass greener e'en here with her grave : My Kate.
Strona 17 - My dear one! — when thou wast alive with the rest, I held thee the sweetest and loved thee the best : And now thou art dead, shall I not take thy part As thy smiles used to do for thyself, my sweet Heart — My Kate ? A SONG FOR THE RAGGED SCHOOLS OF LONDON WRITTEN IN ROME. 1 AM listening here in Rome. 'England's strong,' say many speakers, ' If she winks, the Czar must come, Prow and topsail, to the breakers.' n. 'England's rich in coal and oak...
Strona 16 - I doubt if she said to you much that could act As a thought or suggestion ; she did not attract In the sense of the brilliant or wise ; I infer 'Twas her thinking of others made you think of her — My Kate.
Strona 17 - The weak and the gentle, the ribald and rude, She took as she found them, and did them all good; It always was so with her — see what you have ! She has made the grass greener even here . . . with her grave — My Kate.
Strona 97 - Toutes les unions possibles seront intolérables tant qu'il y aura dans la coutume une indulgence illimitée pour les erreurs d'un sexe, tandis que l'austère et salutaire rigueur du passé subsistera uniquement pour réprimer et condamner celles de l'antre.
Strona 16 - She never found fault with you ; never implied Your wrong by her right ; and yet men at her side Grew nobler, girls purer, as, through the whole town, The children were gladder that pulled at her gown : My Kate.
Strona 85 - I may possibly see you before you can acquaint me with this reaching your hands. You may assure Mrs. Garrick that flattering is not one of my failings, and that she has the merit of making me constant and uniform in perhaps the only part of my life — my esteem and veneration for her.
Strona 85 - He rushed in, hauled me out of the room, tore down and trampled the paper and curtains, and so extinguished the flames. The bed was burnt, and poor Jewel's hands most miserably scorched. So you see, my dear Sir, no man can foresee the great ends for which he was born. Macklin, though a blockhead in his manhood and youth, turns out a wit and a writer on the brink of the grave ; and Foote, never very remarkable for his personal graces, in the decline of his life was very near becoming a toast.
Strona 220 - ... esprit; rabattez le caquet de celle-ci, vous lui ôtez toute son importance. Avec du babil, on parle de tout sans rien savoir ; avec du babil et un peu de méchanceté, on se jette dans les caquets, et l'on tombe sur les personnes.
