עמוד 81 - Burst law's enclosure, leap the mounds of right, Pursuing, and pursued, each other's prey ; As wolves, for rapine ; as the fox, for wiles ; Till death, that mighty hunter, earths them all. Why all this toil for triumphs of an hour ? What though we wade in wealth, or soar in fame ? Earth's highest station ends in, " Here he lies :" And " Dust to dust
עמוד 110 - Tis as the general pulse Of life stood still, and Nature made a pause; An awful pause! prophetic of her end.
עמוד 156 - Reason progressive, instinct is complete ; Swift instinct leaps ; slow reason feebly climbs. Brutes soon their zenith reach ; their little all Flows in at once ; in ages they no more Could know, or do, or covet, or enjoy, Were man to live coeval with the Sun, The patriarch-pupil would be learning still ; Yet, dying, leave his lesson half unlearnt.

When I awoke the next morning, my heart beat with anxious palpitation for the issue of the day. I considered this as the most important scene of my life — that in a great measure, my future happiness or wretchedness depended on my conduct through this day. The time for assembling approached!

עמוד 227 - O ye blest scenes of permanent delight ! Full, above measure ! lasting, beyond bound! A perpetuity of bliss, is bliss. Could you, so rich in rapture, fear an end; That ghastly thought would drink up all your joy, And quite unparadise the realms of light. Safe are you lodged above these rolling spheres ; The baleful influence of whose giddy dance Sheds sad vicissitude on all beneath.
עמוד 225 - Above, below, aerial murmurs swell, From hanging wood, brown heath, and bushy dell ! A thousand nameless rills, that shun the light, Stealing soft music on the ear of night.
עמוד 52 - ... a clergyman about me. When I made my appearance, I found a stare of universal surprise at my gay dress, which suited better the character of a beau than a clergyman.
עמוד 286 - Hurlbut were in a state of great activity on this subject, and their perpetual cry was, " that 1 was endeavoring to overthrow all religion, morality and order in the place ; was introducing corrupt books into the library, and adopting the most fatal measures to overthrow all the good old establishments.
