עמוד 60 - O Woman ! in our hours of ease, Uncertain, coy, and hard to please, And variable as the shade By the light quivering aspen made, When pain and anguish wring the brow, A ministering angel thou ! — Scarce were the piteous accents said, When, with the Baron's casque, the maid To the nigh streamlet ran.
עמוד 85 - Art is long, and Time is fleeting, And our hearts, though stout and brave, Still, like muffled drums, are beating Funeral marches to the grave.
עמוד 145 - And generally, men ought to find the difference between saltness and bitterness. Certainly, he that hath a satirical vein, as he maketh others afraid of his wit, so he had need be afraid of others
עמוד 28 - XXIX. YES — loving is a painful thrill, And not to love more painful still ; But oh, it is the worst of pain, To love and not be loved again...
עמוד 246 - ... loveliness fade as it will ; And around the dear ruin each wish of my heart Would entwine itself verdantly still. It is not while beauty and youth are thine own. And thy cheeks unprofaned by a tear. That the fervor and faith of a soul can be known.
עמוד 97 - ... Yet well I ken the banks where Amaranths blow, Have traced the fount whence streams of nectar flow. Bloom, O ye Amaranths ! bloom for whom ye may, For me ye bloom not ! Glide, rich streams, away ! With lips unbrightened, wreathless brow, I stroll : And would you learn the spells that drowse my soul ? WORK WITHOUT HOPE draws nectar in a sieve, And HOPE without an object cannot live.
עמוד 265 - Joy, most of all, loves to see Death, at her festive board ; for he is himself a joy, and the last rapture of earth. Only the vulgar can confound the heavenward soaring flight of humanity into the far land of the spring with the mock funereal phenomena on the earth; in the same manner as they take the hooting of the owls, on their departure for warmer climes, for the rattling of ghosts : and yet, good Natalie, in your case, I cannot bear to think of what you have said.
עמוד 103 - I will add one quotation more : it is from an invocation to Silence :— " Sacred Silence, thou that art Flood-gate of the deepest heart, Offspring of a heavenly kind, Frost of the mouth, and thaw of the mind, Admiration's readiest tongue.
עמוד 10 - Even a poor krd is despised; and to increase his fortune, a necessitous peer will condescend to marry into a rich citizen's family. An overweening affection for money, an idolatrous worship of gain, have absolutely confounded the general intellect, and warped the judgment of many to that excess, that, in estimating men or things, they refer always to "What is he worth?" or "What will it fetch?" — Were we to point out a person as he passes, and say, " There goes a good man, one who has not a vice...
עמוד 90 - Inward peace of mind, consciousness of integrity, and a satisfactory review of our own conduct, are circumstances very requisite to happiness. Those who possess the will, besides, have the frequent satisfaction of seeing knaves, with all their pretended cunning and abilities, betrayed by their own maxims ; but were they ever so successful, the honest man, if he has any tincture of philosophy, will discover that knaves...
