עמוד 240 - Love took up the glass of time, and turned it in his glowing hands; Every moment, lightly shaken, ran itself in golden sands. Love took up the harp of life, and smote on all the chords with might; Smote the chord of self, that, trembling, passed in music out of sight.
עמוד 174 - All thoughts, all passions, all delights, Whatever stirs this mortal frame, All are but ministers of Love, And feed his sacred flame. Oft in my waking dreams do I Live o'er again that happy hour, When midway on the mount I lay, Beside the ruined tower. The moonshine, stealing o'er the scene, Had blended with the lights of eve; And she was there, my hope, my joy, My own dear Genevieve!
עמוד 191 - But O for the touch of a vanish'd hand, And the sound of a voice that is still ! Break, break, break, At the foot of thy crags, O sea!

The woman to whom Gil had pointed with his paddle was dressed in...
עמוד 159 - Fair laughs the morn, and soft the zephyr blows, While proudly riding o'er the azure realm In gallant trim the gilded vessel goes, YOUTH at the prow and PLEASURE at the helm; Regardless of the sweeping whirlwind's sway, That hush'd in grim repose, expects its evening prey. (In which, by the bye, the words "realm
עמוד 100 - ... sound of a sum in millions', she writes, 'tickles the ears of an Englishman; no man so rich, but endeavours to become richer' (i, p. v). And yet, she avers, it is the false philosopher who regards money with supposed contempt. In The Moneylender (1843) she tells her readers: MONEY is indeed power!
