65 ページ - I too might have stood with the souls that stand In the sun's sight, clothed with the light of the sun; But who now on earth need care how I live ? Have the high gods anything left to give, Save dust and laurels and gold and sand ? Which gifts are goodly: but I will none.
61 ページ - ... garden that I love. News from the humming city comes to it In sound of funeral or of marriage bells; And, sitting muffled in dark leaves, you hear The windy clanging of the minster clock ; Although between it and the garden lies A league of grass, wash'd by a slow broad stream, That, stirr'd with languid pulses of the oar, Waves all its lazy lilies, and creeps on, Barge-laden, to three arches of a bridge Crown'd with the minster-towers.
61 ページ - I climb the hill : from end to end Of all the landscape underneath, I find no place that does not breathe Some gracious memory of my friend; No gray old grange, or lonely fold, Or low morass and whispering reed, Or simple stile from mead to mead, Or sheepwalk up the windy wold ; Nor hoary knoll of ash and haw That hears the latest linnet trill, Nor quarry trench'd along the hill And haunted by the wrangling daw ; Nor runlet tinkling from the rock, Nor pastoral rivulet that swerves To left and right...

78 ページ - THE SEA THE Sea! the Sea! the open Sea! The blue, the fresh, the ever free ! Without a mark, without a bound, It runneth the earth's wide regions 'round; It plays with the clouds; it mocks the skies; Or like a cradled creature lies.
6 ページ - Well, then, we are both snivelling,' said the tutor, and with that, being foreigners, they embraced, and did not conceal their emotion any longer. ' Come on,' said the boy. ' Where next ? ' asked the tutor. * Why, follow him to be sure. I want to know where he lives. Do you think I will let his wife be sick, and his children starve, after this r ' ' Dear boy,' said the tutor, ' I don't for a moment think you will. Yours is not the age, nor the heart, that does things by halves.
69 ページ - Many a woman who has had strength to get outside of that line, has not possessed the strength to stand there; and the fatal result has been that she has been swept down into the gulf of irredeemable sin. The great misfortune was that there was too much of her to be held within the prescribed and safe limits allotted to woman; but there was not enough to enable her to stand securely beyond the shelter of conventional rules.
23 ページ - Boys born sixty years ago had, at least, one source of delight which the children of a later generation will never know. In the days of the past, when we were taken to the theatre for our holiday-treat at Christmas, the true hero of our imagination was Harlequin. He was not reduced, as he is now, to a mere incident in a supplementary comic scene, coming at the end of an elaborate spectacular entertainment ; but was the one object impatiently waited for by the younger folk when the slight fairy tale,...
50 ページ - I can soon put him right again," there was a hum of approval and admiration. Feeling in one of his pockets, the " doctor " took out something, which he applied to the patient's forehead. From another pocket he produced something else, and applied to one cheek, while a third pocket yielded a further medicament for the other cheek. Then, looking round with a thoughtful and abstracted air, one hand covering the face of the patient, with the other he removed a cap from the head of a gaping and bewildered...
