Página 69 - And argueth the cycles of the stars from a pebble flung by a child. It is pleasant to note all plants, from the rush to the spreading cedar, From the giant king of palms* to the lichen that staineth its stem; To watch the workings of instinct, that grosser reason of brutes— The river-horse browsing in the jungle, the plover screaming on the moor, The cayman basking on a mud-bank, and the walrus anchored to an iceberg, The dog at his master's feet, and the...

Página 274 - THE heavens declare the glory of God ; and the firmament showeth his handy- work. One day telleth another ; and one night certifieth another. There is neither speech nor language ; but their voices are heard among them. Their sound is gone out into all lands ; and their words into the ends of the world.

Página 1 - Thoughts that have tarried in my mind, and peopled its inner chambers, The sober children of reason, or desultory train of fancy ; Clear running wine of conviction with the scum and the lees of speculation ; Corn from the sheaves of science, with stubble from mine own garner ; Searchings after Truth, that have tracked her secret lodes, And come up again to the surface-world with a knowledge grounded deeper ; Arguments of high...

Página 124 - Cherish the weak, control the strong, and win the fearful spirit. Be obeyed when thou commandest ; but command not often : Let thy carriage be the gentleness of love, not the stern front of tyranny. Make not one child a warning to another ; but chide the offender apart : For self-conceit and wounded pride rankle like poisons in the soul. A mild rebuke in the season of calmness, is better than a rod in the heat of passion ; Nevertheless, spare not, if thy word hath passed for punishment...

Página 117 - ... of thine own imagination ; And suffer not trifles to win thy love; for a wife is thine unto death. The harp and the voice may thrill thee, — sound may enchant thine ear, But consider thou, the hand will wither, and the sweet notes turn to discord ; The eye, so brilliant at even, may be red with sorrow in the morning ; And the sylph-like form of elegance must writhe in the crampings of pain.

Página 116 - He will deal well with thee. If thou art to have a wife of thy youth, she is now living on the earth; Therefore think of her, and pray for her weal; yea, though thou hast not seen her. They that love early become like-minded, and the tempter toucheth them not; They grow up leaning on each other, as the olive and the vine.
