' The next with dirges due in sad array Slow thro' the church-way path we saw him borne. Approach and read (for thou canst read) the lay, Graved on the stone beneath yon aged thorn.

The dark mountains lay beyond, with every varying shade that varying distance could give them.

The mountain side had a softness of shadowing upon it, such as I never saw before, and such as no painting...
91 ページ - ... they neutralised and balanced each other. I admitted, however, that there was danger; that all popular institutions involved danger; that freedom was a trust, and a perilous trust.
