Страница 210 - And Nature, the old nurse, took The child upon her knee, Saying: "Here is a story-book Thy Father has written for thee." " Come, wander with me," she said, " Into regions yet untrod ; And read what is still unread In the manuscripts of God.
Страница 210 - Thy Father has written for thee." "Come, wander with me," she said, "Into regions yet untrod; And read what is still unread In the manuscripts of God."

Страница 29 - L. hyssopifolia, and it has just flashed on me that you might have Lythrum in North America, and I have looked to your Manual. For the love of heaven have a look at some of your species, and if you can get me seed, do ; I want much to try species with few stamens, if they are dimorphic ; Nescea verticillata I should expect to be trimorphic.
Страница 42 - neath the tree The goddess" self I almost hope to see. The tints of purple and the texture fine, The curves of beauty seen in every line. With fringes exquisite of golden hue Perfect the wonders of the fairy shoe.
