Seite 34 - We know not of what we are capable till the trial comes; — till it comes, perhaps, in a form which makes the strong man quail, and turns the gentler woman into a heroine. The power of outward circumstances suddenly to awaken dormant faculties — the extraordinary influence which the mere instinct of self-preservation can exert over the mind, and the triumph of mind thus excited over physical weakness, were never more truly exemplified than in the story of HALLORAN THE PEDLAR.
Seite 108 - Constantine, — shaken hands with a Lapland witch, — and been presented in full volunteer uniform at every court between Stockholm and Milan. Yet is he not one particle wiser than if he had spent the same time in walking up and down the Strand. He has contrived, however, to pick up on his tour, strange odds and ends of foreign follies, which stick upon the coarsegrained materials of his own John Bull character like tinfoil upon sackcloth ; so that I see little difference between what he was, and...
Seite 220 - Producing change of beauty ever new. —Ah ! that such beauty, varying in the light Of living nature, cannot be portrayed By words, nor by the pencil's silent skill; But is the property of him alone Who hath beheld it, noted it with care, And in his mind recorded it with love!
Seite 262 - Ah! Then, if mine had been the Painter's hand, To express what then I saw, and add the gleam, The light that never was, on sea or land, The consecration, and the Poet's dream; I would have planted thee, thou hoary Pile Amid a world how different from this!
Seite 199 - Take no thought what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink, or wherewithal ye shall be clothed. For after all these things do the Gentiles seek. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.
Seite 227 - Yes! when the sun of life more feebly shines, Becoming thoughts, I trust, of solemn gloom Or of high gladness you shall hither bring; And these perennial bowers and murmuring pines Be gracious as the music and the bloom And all the mighty ravishment of Spring.
Seite 92 - They do not console,—they sometimes add poignancy to pain; but still they have a power, and do not speak in vain : they become a part of us; and never are we so inclined to claim kindred with nature, as when sorrow has lent us her mournful experience. At the time I felt this (and how many have felt it as deeply, and expressed it better!) I did not think it, still less could I have said it; but I have pleasure in recording the past impression. " On rend mieux compte de ce qu'on a senti que de ce...
Seite 38 - ... unearthly marauder. Bitterly reproaching herself for her carelessness, she again set forward ; and still hoping to reach Cork that night, she toiled on and on with increasing difficulty and distress, till as the evening closed her spirits failed, she became faint, foot-sore and hungry, not having tasted any thing since the morning but a cold potatoe and a draught of buttermilk. She then looked round her in hopes of discovering some habitation...
Seite 192 - eloquent air," and to the shore There rolls no wave, and through the orange shade There sighs no breath, which doth not speak of him THE FATHER OF HIS COUNTRY : and though dim Her day of empire — and her laurel crown Torn and defaced, and soiled with blood and tears, And her imperial eagles trampled down — Still with a queen-like grace, Italia wears Her garland of bright names, — her coronal of stars, (Radiant memorials of departed worth !) That shed a glory round her pensive brow, And make...
Seite 42 - ... though a devilmay-care fellow, too. I remember teaching him the soldier's exercise with this very blessed stick now in my hand ; and by the same token, him doubling his fist at me when he wasn't bigger than the turf-kish yonder; aye, and as long as Barny Hogan could turn a sod of turf on my lord's land, I thought his father and mother would never have wanted the bit and sup while the life was in him." At the mention of her son, the old woman looked up a moment, but immediately hung her head again....
