Sida 46 - Before the beginning of years There came to the making of man Time, with a gift of tears; Grief, with a glass that ran; Pleasure, with pain for leaven; Summer, with flowers that fell; Remembrance fallen from heaven, 320 And madness risen from hell; Strength without hands to smite; Love that endures for a breath: Night, the shadow of light, And life, the shadow of death.
Sida 404 - Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee. For whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge. Thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God. Where thou diest, I will die, and there will I be buried. The Lord do so to me, and more also, if aught but death part thee and me.
Sida 47 - A time for labour and thought, A time to serve and to sin; They gave him light in his ways, And love, and a space for delight, And beauty and length of days, And night, and sleep in the night. His speech is a burning fire; With his lips he travaileth; In his heart is a blind desire, In his eyes foreknowledge of death; He weaves, and is clothed with derision; Sows, and he shall not reap; His life is a watch or a vision Between a sleep and a sleep.
Sida 83 - The outward wayward life we see, The hidden springs we may not know. Nor is it given us to discern What threads the fatal sisters spun...
Sida 277 - Great truths are greatly won. Not found by chance, Nor wafted on the breath of summer dream, But grasped in the great struggle of the soul, Hard buffeting with adverse wind and stream.
Sida 213 - A certain amount of opposition is a great help to a man. Kites rise against, and not with the wind. Even a head wind is better than none. No man ever worked his passage anywhere in a dead calm.
Sida 144 - Though sometimes small evils, like invisible insects, inflict great pain, and a single hair may stop a vast machine, yet the chief secret of comfort lies in not suffering trifles to vex one, and in prudently cultivating an under-growth of small pleasures, since very few great ones, alas ! are let on long leases.
Sida 255 - Oh, that thou Wert Carbon, and myself were Hydrogen; We would unite to form olefiant gas, Or common coal, or naphtha — would to heaven That I were Phosphorus, and thou wert Lime! And we of Lime composed a Phosphuret. I'd be content to be Sulphuric Acid, So that thou might be Soda.
Sida 46 - Night, the shadow of light, And life, the shadow of death. And the high gods took in hand Fire, and the falling of tears, And a measure of sliding sand From under the feet of the years ; And froth and drift of the sea ; And dust of the laboring earth ; And bodies of things to be In the houses of death and of birth...
Sida 208 - The longer life, the more offence ; The more offence, the greater pain; The greater pain, the less defence ; The less defence, the lesser gain. The loss of gain long ill doth try, Wherefore come death, and let me die.
