Strona 94 - No bar of endless night exiles the brave; And to the saner mind We rather seem the dead that stayed behind. Blow, trumpets, all your exultations blow ! For never shall their aureoled presence lack : I see them muster in a gleaming row, With ever-youthful brows that nobler show; We find in our dull road their shining track; In every nobler mood We feel the orient of their spirit glow, Part of our life's unalterable good, Of all our saintlier aspiration; They come transfigured back, Secure from change...
Strona 65 - Beautiful ! my Country ! ours once more, Smoothing thy gold of war-dishevelled hair O'er such sweet brows as never other wore, And letting thy set lips, Freed from wrath's pale eclipse, The rosy edges of their smile lay bare...
Strona 218 - E'en then a wish (I mind its power) A wish, that to my latest hour Shall strongly heave my breast ; That I for poor auld Scotland's sake, Some usefu' plan, or book could make, Or sing a sang at least.
Strona 193 - Republics abound in young civilians who believe that the laws make the city, that grave modifications of the policy and modes of living and employments of the population, that commerce, education, and religion, may be voted in or out ; and that any measure, though it were absurd, may be imposed on a people if only you can get sufficient voices to make it a law.
Strona 46 - Breathes there the man, with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land ? Whose heart hath ne'er within him burned, As home his footsteps he hath turned, From wandering on a foreign strand...
Strona 66 - WHERE is the true man's fatherland ? Is it where he by chance is born ? Doth not the yearning spirit scorn In such scant borders to be spanned ? Oh yes ! his fatherland must be As the blue heaven wide and free ! Is it alone where freedom is, Where God is God and man is man ? Doth he not claim a broader span For the soul's love of home than this...
Strona 208 - The worth of a State, in the long run, is the worth of the individuals composing it...
Strona 193 - But the wise know that foolish legislation is a rope of sand, which perishes in the twisting; that the state must follow, and not lead, the character and progress of the citizen...
Strona 139 - The private poor man hath cities, ships, canals, bridges, built for him. He goes to the post-office, and the human race run on his errands; to the book-shop, and the human race read and write of all that happens, for him; to the court-house, arid nations repair his wrongs.
Strona 139 - To educate the wise man, the State exists; and with the appearance of the wise man, the State expires.
