Trang 149 - Ah, my friends, we say not one word against those who live upon the Atlantic coast, but the hardy pioneers who have braved all the dangers of the wilderness...
Trang 273 - I've seen around me fall, Like leaves in wintry weather, I feel like one Who treads alone Some banquet-hall deserted, Whose lights are fled, Whose garlands dead, And all but he departed.
Trang 222 - Consider the lilies of the field how they grow: they labour not, neither do they spin. But I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these.
Trang 291 - Leave to the soft Campanian His baths and his perfumes ; Leave to the sordid race of Tyre Their dyeing-vats and looms ; Leave to the sons of Carthage The rudder and the oar ; Leave to the Greek his marble Nymphs And scrolls of wordy lore.
