Страница 71 - ... bloom of the year in the bag of one bee : All the wonder and wealth of the mine in the heart of one gem : In the core of one pearl all the shade and the shine of the sea: Breath and bloom, shade and shine, — wonder, wealth, and — how far above them — Truth, that's brighter than gem, Trust, that's purer than pearl, — Brightest truth, purest trust in the universe— all were for me In the kiss of one girl.
Страница 39 - The deeps of life are opened with their solemnities, their realities, their tragedies. The character loses its light grace, its gay delight in the comedy of existence ; but it gains instead an understanding of the inwardness of things and the responsibilities of the soul.

It ought to give us pause at a time to remember that each one has a stock of cut-and-dry judgments on his neighbours, and...
Страница 68 - America. we not more understanding and sympathetic ? Have we had no experiences which we do not hand round for inspection, which we lock up in our hearts ? Perhaps our neighbour has his secrets too, and wears the thicker mask the more he dreads detection. Once he winced when conversation touched a certain kind of family sorrow ; once his laugh was a little forced concerning one of life's comedies ; neither husband nor wife joined in your condemnation of that social sinner. You mean ? — nothing,...
Страница 35 - ... offered. If it lay in the will of the parents they would never consent to its removal, so wonderfully do helplessness and suffering appeal to the heart. With a just parent there is only one ground of partiality — weakness ; only one child that has more than its share of love — the invalid. Yet is it not an unconscious and cruel selfishness of love that would wish for that child a prolonged hospital life ? Is it not a merciful release when the prisoner escapes from the bondage of this body,...
