Sida 236 - ... mysteries of knowledge ! — Oh ! no, lady ! — believe me — no ! Trust not your influence to such light fetters ! Credit not the old-fashioned absurdity that woman's is a secondary lot — ministering to the necessities of her lord and master ! It is a higher destiny I would award you. If your immortality is as complete, and your gift of mind as capable as ours of increase and elevation, I would put no wisdom of mine against God's evident allotment.
Sida 117 - I loved — oh, no, I mean not one of ye, Or any earthly one, though ye are dear As human heart to human heart may be ; I loved I know not what — but this low sphere, And all that it contains, contains not thee, Thou, whom, seen nowhere, I feel everywhere.

I had never seen her half so lovely. Fresh and calm from the seclusion of her chamber, her transparent cheek was just tinged with the first mounting blood from the excitement...
Sida 88 - ... hazel orbs they eclipse, limbed like nothing earthly except an American woman — I would rather not go on ! When I speak of the beauty of my countrywomen my heart swells. I do believe the new world has a newer mould for its mothers and daughters. I think I am not prejudiced. I have been years 'away.
Sida 65 - Thus far shalt thou go, and no farther !" Oh, I think we have an instinct, dulled by civilization, which is like the caged eaglet's, or the antelope's that is reared in the Arab's tent — an instinct of nature that scorns boundary and chain ; — that yearns to the free desert, — that would have the earth like the sea or the sky, unappropriated and open; — that rejoices in immeasurable liberty of foot and dwelling-place, and springs passionately back to its freedom even after years of subduing...
Sida 234 - Her husband looks on her with a proud eye, and shows her the same fervent love and the delicate attentions which first won her, and fair children are growing up about them, and they go on, full of honor and untroubled years, and are remembered when they die !
