Seite 222 - Five years have past ; five summers, with the length Of five long winters ! and again I hear These waters, rolling from their mountain-springs With a soft inland murmur. — Once again Do I behold these steep and lofty cliffs, That on a wild secluded scene impress Thoughts of more deep seclusion ; and connect The landscape with the quiet of the sky. The day is come when I again repose Here, under this dark sycamore, and view...
Seite 236 - Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof. Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein; then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice before the Lord: For he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
Seite 10 - THERE rolls the deep where grew the tree. O earth, what changes hast thou seen! There where the long street roars, hath been The stillness of the central sea. The hills are shadows, and they flow From form to form, and nothing stands; They melt like mist, the solid lands, Like clouds they shape themselves and go.
Seite 236 - Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons and all deeps: Fire, and hail; snow, and vapours: stormy wind fulfilling his word: Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars: Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and flying fowl...
Seite 234 - Wo jetzt nur, wie unsre Weisen sagen, seelenlos ein Feuerball sich dreht, lenkte damals seinen goldnen Wagen Helios in stiller Majestät. Diese Höhen füllten Oreaden, eine Dryas lebt' in jenem Baum, aus den Urnen lieblicher Najaden sprang der Ströme Silberschaum.

Seite 110 - The news of her death touched a chord in the heart of Adam Sedgwick and broke down the estrangement which had unhappily severed the old comrades for many years. Thus he writes : — " You will, I know, believe me when I say that the first news of your beloved wife's death filled me with a very deep sorrow. For many many years Lady Murchison was one of the dearest of those friends whose society formed the best charms of my life.
Seite 274 - Although we are thus ignorant, the two following rules seem often to hold good— that variations which first appear in either sex at a late period of life, tend to be developed in the same sex alone ; whilst variations which first appear early in life in either sex tend to be developed in both sexes.
Seite 281 - The whole surface, including even the forehead and ears, is thus thickly clothed; but it is a significant fact that the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet are quite naked, like the inferior surfaces of all four extremities in most of the lower animals.
Seite 246 - We have seen, in the last chapter, that when the sensorium is strongly excited, the muscles of the body are generally thrown into violent action ; and as a consequence, loud sounds are uttered, however silent the animal may generally be, and although the sounds may be of no use. Hares and rabbits for instance, never, I believe, use their vocal organs except in the extremity of suffering; as, when a wounded hare is killed by the sportsman, or when a young rabbit is caught by a stoat.
