Page 397 - Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.— Daniel 2:‎

Page 410 - Then kneeling down to heaven's Eternal King, The saint, the father, and the husband prays: Hope " springs exulting on triumphant wing," That thus they all shall meet in future days; There ever bask in uncreated rays, Xo more to sigh, or shed the bitter tear, Together hymning their Creator's‎

Page 410 - heard it, but he heeded not; his eyes Were with his heart, and that was far away: He recked not of the life he lost, nor prize, But where his rude hut by the Danube lay; There were his young barbarians all at play, There was their Dacian mother — he, their sire, Butchered to make a Roman holiday.‎

Page 419 - were anew, the gaps of centuries, Leaving that beautiful which still was so, And making that which was not, till the place Became religion, and the heart ran o'er With silent worship of the great of old ! — The dead, but sceptered sovereigns, who still rule Our spirits from their urns. — Byron.‎

Page 414 - The melancholy days are come, the saddest of the year, Of wailing winds, and naked woods, and meadows brown and sear. Heaped in the hollows of the grove, the autumn leaves lie dead; They rustle to the eddying‎

Page 353 - If thou art worn and hard beset With sorrows that thou wouldst forget, If thou wouldst read a lesson that will keep Thy heart from fainting and thy soul from sleep, Go to the woods and hills! No tears Dim the sweet look that Nature wears. — Longfellow.‎

Page 268 - Of all beasts he learned the language, Learned their names and all their secrets, How the beavers built their lodges, Where the squirrels hid their acorns, How the reindeer ran so swiftly, Why the rabbit was so timid, Talked with them whene'er he met them.‎

Page 413 - 44. There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not man the less, but nature more, From these our interviews, in which I steal From all I may be, or have been before, To mingle with the universe, and feel‎
