Страница 158 - There methinks would be enjoyment more than in this march of mind In the steamship, in the railway, in the thoughts that shake mankind. There the passions cramp'd no longer shall have scope and breathing space ; I will take some savage woman, she shall rear my dusky race.

Страница 192 - Mild light, and by degrees, should be the plan To cure the dark and erring mind ; But who would rush at a benighted man, And give him two black eyes for being blind...
Страница 246 - Selfishness, — a word that may be used in a good, as well as in a bad sense.
Страница 180 - But evil is wrought by want of Thought, As well as by want of Heart.
