עמוד 231 - Like strips of the sky fallen through me on high. Are each paved with the moon and these. I bind the sun's throne with a burning zone, And the moon's with a girdle of pearl ; The volcanoes are dim, and the stars reel and swim. When the whirlwinds my banner unfurl.

עמוד 230 - Like strips of the sky fallen through me on high, Are each paved with the moon and these. I bind the sun's throne with a burning zone, And the moon's with a girdle of pearl ; The volcanoes are dim, and the stars reel and swim, When the whirlwinds my banner unfurl. From cape to cape, with a bridge-like shape, Over a torrent sea, Sunbeam-proof, I hang like a roof, The mountains its columns be. The triumphal arch through which I march With hurricane, fire, and snow, When the powers of the air are chained...

When the powers of the air are chained to my chair, Is the million-colored bow ; The sphere-fire above its soft colors wove, While the moist earth was laughing below.

For after the rain, when, with never a stain, The pavilion of heaven...
עמוד 230 - ... thin roof, The stars peep behind her and peer ; "And I laugh to see them whirl and flee, Like a swarm of golden bees, When I widen the rent in my wind-built tent...
עמוד 331 - And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly : I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit. For in much wisdom is much grief : and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
עמוד 124 - Tully was the first who observed, that friendship improves happiness and abates misery, by the doubling of our joy and dividing of our grief; a thought in which he hath been followed by all the essayers upon friendship, that have written since his time.
עמוד 150 - ... rises slowly. Her eyes blaze and she is consumed with rage. Emma. Do I understand what you mean? Joe. No one will know the difference — you can handle him all right besides, you know how far you can let a man go with safety — all women know that. [There is a pause.] Well? Then you won't do it? — You won't come to the front? I suppose you don't think I ought to ask. Why shouldn't I? Who did I steal the money for — I did it because you made me.
עמוד 146 - Joe, then goes to him and places both hands on his shoulders.) EMMA (In a broken voice) — Oh, Joe — my boy, how could you do it — didn't you know sooner or later you'd be found out? Now I know why you've been interested in the races — you've been betting on the horses. JOE — I wanted to get the money back.
