עמוד 146 - GLORY be to God on high, and on earth peace, good will towards men. We praise thee, we bless thee, we worship thee, we glorify thee, we give thanks to thee for thy great glory, O Lord God, heavenly King, God the Father Almighty.
עמוד 156 - THERE are few writers for whom the reader feels such personal kindness as for Oliver G-oldsmith, for few have so eminently possessed the magic gift of identifying themselves with their writings.
עמוד 306 - The best laid schemes of mice and men Gang aft a-gley, And lea'e us nought but grief and pain, For promised joy.
עמוד 339 - And shoot a dullness to my trembling heart. Give me thy hand, and let me hear thy voice; Nay, quickly speak to me, and let me hear Thy voice — my own affrights me with its echoes.
עמוד 226 - Louis Napoleon and Eugenie Montijo, Emperor and Empress of France ! — one of whom I have had a guest at my cottage on the Hudson ; the other, whom, when a child, I have had on my knee at Granada !

עמוד 381 - I sat down repeatedly," said he, " with pen and ink, but could invent nothing worth putting on the paper. At length I told my friend Tom Moore, who dropped in one morning, that now, after long waiting, I had the mood, and would hold it, and work it out as long as it would last, until I had wrung my brain dry. So I began to write shortly after breakfast, and continued, without noticing how the time was passing, until Moore came in again at four in the afternoon — when I had completely covered the...
עמוד 302 - I wrote to you, some days since, on the subject of your new work, when I had read but a part of it. I have just finished the perusal of it, and cannot rest until I have told you how thoroughly I have been delighted with it. I do not know when I have read any work more uniformly rich, full, and well sustained. The liberal, generous, catholic spirit in which it is written, is beyond all praise. The work is a model of its kind.
עמוד 149 - Shakspeare and Irving. * * * Late in October I called on Mr. Irving, then in New York, and found him engaged on his Life of Mahomet, evidently somewhat fagged. I told him I saw Putnam had advertised its appearance for the 1st of January. Yes, he said ; he was afraid it would hurry him to get ready ; he gave him a negligent answer, and he fixed a day.
