Страница 127 - Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul.
Страница 126 - ON REFUSAL OF AID BETWEEN NATIONS. • NOT that the earth is changing, O my God ! Nor that the seasons totter in their walk, — Not that the virulent ill of act and talk Seethes ever as a winepress ever trod, — Not therefore are we certain that the rod Weighs in thine hand to smite thy world ; though now Beneath thine hand so many nations bow, So many kings : — not therefore, O my God ! — But because Man is parcelled out in men To-day ; because, for any wrongful blow, No man not stricken asks,...
Страница 135 - For I have neither wit, nor words, nor worth, Action, nor utterance, nor the power of speech To stir men's blood.

And harder than his lady's side his targe ; From glutton feasts to soldier's fare a change ; His helmet far above a garland's charge : Who scarce the name of manhood did retain, Drenched in sloth and womanish delight...
Страница 209 - Bays of Naples and Salerno, some of the Greek Islands, certain mountain valleys in India, the Vega of Granada, the parallel one of Shiraz — the list is almost exhausted now and the New World is not yet reached. Yet — except for the charm that comes from works of man softened by centuries of use, the glamour given by ages of history, the tender respect always commanded by things that are venerable — in Southern California may be found every attraction possessed by those cited — the tenderest...
Страница 209 - Judged by all ordinary and extraordinary canons of beauty, the regions that may, because of their climate, foliage, color and form, be held to be the loveliest are but few in number — the Riviera, the Bays of Naples and Salerno, some of the Greek Islands, certain mountain valleys in India, the Vega of Granada, the parallel one of Shiraz — the list is almost exhausted now and the New World is not yet reached. Yet — except for the charm that comes from works of man softened by centuries of use,...
Страница 209 - San Diego did project and did carry out a smaller exhibition, not a World's Fair in the strictest sense of the term, but rather one that was cultural and regional. It endeavored to reflect the past of that great section of the country of which it formed the natural seaport, and to obtain, in so far as this was possible, something of the effect of the old Spanish and Mission days...
Страница 125 - Assyrian King, in peace, with foul desire And filthy lusts that stained his regal heart : In war, that should set princely hearts on fire, Did yield, vanquished for want of martial art. The dint of swords from kisses seemed strange, And harder than his lady's side his targe ; From glutton feasts to soldier's fare a change ; His helmet far above a garland's charge : Who scarce the name of manhood did retain, Drenched in sloth and womanish delight, Feeble of spirit, impatient of pain, When he had lost...
