Seite 95 - And that which should accompany old age, As honour, love, obedience, troops of friends, I must not look to have ; but, in their stead, Curses, not loud but deep, mouth-honour, breath, Which the poor heart would fain deny, and dare not.

Seite 96 - I am fire and air ; my other elements I give to baser life. So ; have you done ? Come then, and take the last warmth of my lips. Farewell, kind Charmian ; Iras, long farewell.
Seite 97 - With thy sharp teeth this knot intrinsicate Of life at once untie : poor venomous fool, Be angry, and dispatch.
Seite 97 - As sweet as balm, as soft as air, as gentle— O Antony!
Seite 3 - After hearing these sermons you might come away still not believing the tenets peculiar to the High Church system; but you would be harder than most men, if you did not feel more than ever ashamed of coarseness, selfishness, worldliness, if you did not feel the things of faith brought closer to the soul.
