Seite 186 - SWEET stream, that winds through yonder glade, Apt emblem of a virtuous maid — Silent and chaste she steals along, Far from the world's gay busy throng ; • With gentle yet prevailing force, Intent upon her destined course ; Graceful and useful all she does, Blessing and blest where'er she goes. Pure-bosom'd as that watery glass, And heaven reflected in her face.
Seite 284 - In a strange land Such things, however trivial, reach the heart. And through the heart the head, clearing away The narrow notions that grew up at home, And in their place grafting good will to all— ROGERS.
Seite 186 - LADY. SWEET stream, that winds through yonder glade, Apt emblem of a virtuous maid — Silent and chaste she steals along, Far from the world's gay busy throng ; • With gentle yet prevailing force, Intent upon her destined course ; Graceful and useful all she does, Blessing and blest where'er she goes.
Seite 293 - AND what is Life ? An hour-glass on the run, A mist retreating from the morning sun, A busy, bustling, still repeated dream. Its length ? A minute's pause, a moment's thought. And Happiness ? A bubble on the stream, That, in the act of seizing, shrinks to naught.
Seite 45 - I have given suck, and know How tender 'tis to love the babe that milks me: I would, while it was smiling in my face, Have pluck'd my nipple from his boneless gums, And dash'd the brains out, had I so sworn as you Have done to this.
Seite 109 - This aerial bow, as it hangs between the busy cities, "curving on a sky imbrued with color," is perfect as an organism of nature. It is an organism of nature. There was no question in the mind of its designer of "good taste" or of appearance. He learned the law that struck its curves, the law that...
Seite 268 - ... her pretty mouth, and stick it between her small ivory teeth. Conversing this morning on the customs of different nations, with all the freedom and frankness that intimacy authorises, arguing upon their utility or inutility, I ventured to make an observation upon the impropriety of thus injuring her pretty teeth, and, perhaps, risking to enlarge the dimensions of her pretty small mouth, by an unfortunate jerk of her hand, or gentle touch of her favourite cousin, Fritz; ' besides, the princess...
Seite 262 - Sieg, l espied, to the joy of my coachman no less than to my own feelings, the ancient chateau of the very ancient race d'Hatzfeldt, built of rough stone from the mountain quarries, in irregular architecture, deriving its date anterior to the Crusades. The arrival of a carriage in the retired village, where its seigneur had not appeared during the last six years, occasioned a general sensation and movement in its small population ; my figure proclaimed me to be " une étrangère ;" not one of them...
Seite 148 - Heartless itself, nor form'd to feel, Shall follow, life's mixed scenes among, Each turn of Fortune's fickle wheel. And, as its echo on the gale Dies off, though long and loud the tone, Shall teach that all on earth shall fail, All pass away — save God alone. Now, with the rope's unweary'd might, From its dark womb weigh up the Bell, That it may gain th' aerial height, And in the realm of Echo dwell.
Seite 263 - ... and children ; of the family group, the only absentee was the young Comtesse Fanny, but her absence was ultimately to be accounted for, as we found her at her piano, and hanging over the back of her chair was her handsome cousin, the irresistible Comte Fritz Nesselrode, aide-de-camp au Grand Due Constantin, and nephew to the Prince d'Hatzfeldt. The reception from my graceful hostess was not less kind, each seeming to regard me as a member of the family dynasty, as though I had been, during long...
