Strona 73 - For he who fights and runs away May live to fight another day ; But he who is in battle slain Can never rise and fight again.
Strona 118 - ... methinks I see her as an eagle mewing her mighty youth, and kindling her undazzled eyes at the full midday beam ; purging and unsealing her long-abused sight at the fountain itself of heavenly radiance ; while the whole noise of timorous and flocking birds, with those also that love the twilight, flutter about, amazed at what she means, and in their envious gabble would prognosticate a year of sects and schisms.
Strona 164 - It was not even the dungeon-light, So hateful to my heavy sight, But vacancy absorbing space, And fixedness, without a place ; There were no stars, no earth, no time, No check, no change, no good, no crime, But silence, and a stirless breath Which neither was of life nor death; A sea of stagnant idleness, Blind, boundless mute, and motionless!

Strona 9 - It is said, however, that he had pledged himself, in 1815, to the emperors of Russia and Austria, and the king of Prussia...
Strona 160 - I have already said, had been chained together the informer Margherita and one of his victims. Among these, I myself saw a political prisoner, Romeo, chained in the manner I have described, to an ordinary offender, a young man with one of the most ferocious and sullen countenances I have seen among many hundreds of the Neapolitan criminals.
Strona 161 - M. — They will, provided the Sovereign shall have granted and ratified them freely. Otherwise they will not ; because the people, which is made for submission and not for command, cannot impose a law upon the Sovereignty, which derives its power not from them, but from God.
