Popularne fragmenty
Strona 588 - Oxford and in the country at the close of the seventeenth and beginning of the eighteenth century.
Strona 560 - Not once or twice in our rough island-story, The path of duty was the way to glory: He that walks it, only thirsting For the right, and learns to deaden Love of self, before his journey closes, He shall find the stubborn thistle bursting Into glossy purples, which outredden All voluptuous garden-roses.
Strona 693 - ... sides of the hills, which they turned into instant volcanoes, exploding volumes of smoke and fire ; then plunged into the depths in a hundred glowing cataracts, then climbed and consumed again. The distant sound of the city in her convulsion went to the soul. The air was filled with the steady roar of the advancing flame, the crash of falling houses, and the hideous outcry of the myriads flying through the streets, or surrounded and perishing in the conflagration All was clamor, violent struggle,...
Strona 269 - May minish him in eyes that closely see, Was verified in him : what need we say Of one who made success where others failed, Who, with no light save that of common day, Struck hard, and still struck on till Fortune quailed, But that (so sift the Norns) a desperate van Ne'er fell at last to one who was not wholly man.
Strona 270 - Nothing ideal, a plain-people's man At the first glance, a more deliberate ken Finds type primeval theirs in whose veins ran Such blood as quelled the dragon in his den, Made harmless fields and better worlds began : He came grim-silent, saw and did the deed That was to do ; in his...
Strona 87 - The dull man is made, not by the nature, but by the degree of his immersion in a single business. And all the more if that be sedentary, uneventful, and ingloriously safe. More than one half of him will then remain unexercised and undeveloped; the rest will be distended and deformed by over-nutrition, over-cerebration, and the heat of rooms. And I have often marvelled at the impudence of gentlemen who describe and pass...
Strona 366 - Josephine sighed and clasped her hands. " How generous you are, Fred ! We couldn't possibly require more than two under any consideration. I heard of two girls to-day who would do capitally for us if you really think we can afford it. They are sisters." If I live to be a hundred, I shall never forget the attractive picture which those sisters presented when I saw them for the first time, a fortnight later, on my return from our wedding journey. We had come back a day sooner than we had...
Strona 231 - Be industrious and trust to your own genius ; listen to the voice within you, and sooner or later she will make herself understood, not only to you, but she will enable you to translate her language to the world, and this it is which forms the only real merit of any work of art.
Strona 392 - Her supple outlines fixed in clay The universal law suspend, And turn Time's chariot back, and blend A thousand years with yesterday. A sinless touch, austere yet warm, Around her girlish figure pressed, Caught the sweet imprint of her breast, And held her, surely clasped, from harm. Truer than work of sculptor's art Comes this dear maid of long ago, Sheltered from woeful chance, to show A spirit's lovely counterpart, And bid mistrustful men be sure That form shall fate of flesh escape, And, quit...
