Halaman 626 - God called up from dreams a man into the vestibule of heaven, saying, 'Come thou hither and see the glory of my house.'

Halaman 509 - I charm thy life From the weapons of the strife, From stone and from wood, From fire and from flood, From the serpent's tooth, And the beasts of blood : From sickness I charm thee, And Time shall not harm thee ; But Earth which is mine, Its fruits shall deny thee ; And water shall hear me, And know thee and fly thee ; And the winds shall not touch thee When they pass by thee, And the Dews shall not wet thee, When they fall nigh thee...

Halaman 724 - Meanwhile, I was thinking of my first love As I had not been thinking of aught for years; Till over my eyes there began to move Something that felt like tears.
Halaman 563 - I REMEMBER, I REMEMBER. I REMEMBER, I remember The house where I was born, The little window where the sun Came peeping in at morn : He never came a wink too soon, Nor brought too long a day, But now I often wish the night Had borne my breath away ! I remember, I remember The roses red and white, The violets, and the lily-cups, Those flowers made of light ! The lilacs where the robin built, And where my brother set The laburnum on his birth-day, — The tree is living yet ! I remember, I remember...
Halaman 627 - ... depth unfathomable. Suddenly, as thus they rode from infinite to infinite, suddenly, as thus they tilted over abysmal worlds, a mighty cry arose that systems more mysterious, that worlds more billowy, other heights and other depths, were coming, were nearing, were at hand.
Halaman 627 - Within were stairs that scaled the eternities below ; above was below, below was above, to the man stripped of gravitating body : depth was swallowed up in height insurmountable — height was swallowed up in depth unfathomable.
