Sida 13 - It is as an emblem of the whole genius of Dante. There is a brevity, an abrupt precision in him : Tacitus is not briefer, more condensed; and then in Dante it seems a natural condensation, spontaneous to the man. One smiting word; and then there is silence, nothing more said. His silence is more eloquent than words. It is strange with what a sharp decisive grace he snatches the true likeness of a matter: cuts into the matter as with a pen of fire.
Sida 187 - And this light will sweep and circle to the very ends of earth, Touching with immortal beauty every heart and every hearth — Thrilling every human being underneath the silent skies, And transfiguring our planet to a perfect paradise!

Sida 187 - Upward, upward press the peoples to that pure, exalted plane, Where no throne shall cast a shadow and no slave shall wear a chain.
Sida 38 - From cradle to coffin we struggle and seek, Till the fugitive years of our lives are past ; But whether our lots be blessed or bleak, We are tossed like dogs to the worms at last " What is the use of it, then, I say ? Why are we brought from the blank unknown, To weep and dance through a little day That drifts us under a burial stone ?
Sida 74 - It is the triumph of brute force, sanctified by popular acceptance. It is man's treatment of the weaker sex in the days when men were said to have walked with God. And so it has been— Since the first fierce morning of Time, with its toils and tears, Down through the dim, long vista of fleet and fugitive years, I see but the one black picture 'twixt cradle and coffinbed.
