" My home is high, amidst rocking trees, My kindred things are the star and the breeze, And the fount uncheck'd in its lonely play, And the odours that wander afar away ! " Farewell — farewell, then, bird!
Seite 113 - A well of love, it may be deep — I trust it is, — and never dry : What matter ? if the waters sleep In silence and obscurity. Such change, and at the very door Of my fond heart, hath made me poor.
Seite 295 - Respecting the fearful attack on the Redan, in which he took the lead, he has recorded many incidents which have not yet been mentioned, and which it is only right to make as widely known as possible. A more vivid description, or a more trustworthy account assuredly will never be written. We hope we have done enough (inserting two columns of extracts in addition to remarks) to recommend the...
