Halaman 364 - This tale will not be told in vain, if it shall be found to illustrate the great truth, that guilt, though it may attain temporal splendour, can never confer real happiness; that the evil consequences of our crimes long survive their commission, and, like the ghosts of the murdered, for ever haunt the steps of the malefactor; and that the paths of virtue, though seldom those of worldly greatness, are always those of pleasantness and peace.
Halaman 240 - What you have just seen,' said my mother, 'we c«ll a snail ; and what you now see is a frog.' The names, however, did not help me at all to understand. Why the first should have turned from my paw so suddenly, and why this creature should continue to stare up at me in such a manner I could not conceive. I expected, however, that it would soon come slowly crawling forth, and then 'I should see whether it would also avoid me in the same manner. I now observed that its body and breast were double somehow,...
Halaman 238 - I must now stand alone, extended both paws, and slowly lowered me towards the earth. The height as I looked down, seemed terrible, and I felt my legs kick in the air, with fear of I did not know what, till suddenly I felt four hard things and no motion. It was the fixed earth beneath my four infant legs. 'Now,' said my Mother, 'you are what is called standing alone!
Halaman 238 - you are what is called standing alone!' But what she said I heard as in a dream. With my back in the air, as though it rested on a wooden trussel, with my nose poking out straight, snuffing the fresh breeze, and the many scents of the woods, my ears pricking and shooting with all sorts of new sounds, to wonder at, to want to have, to love, or to tumble down at, — and my...
Halaman 240 - Out of this green tuft looked a pair of very bright, round, small eyes, which were staring up at me. " If I had known how to walk, I should have stepped back a few steps when I saw those bright little eyes, but I never ventured to lift a paw from the earth, since my mother had first set me down, nor did I know how to do so, or what were the proper thoughts or motions to begin with. So I stood looking at the eyes ; and presently I saw that the head was yellow, and all the face and throat yellow, and...
Halaman 238 - The Bear took several long whiffs at his pipe, and thus continued, — "My Mother took me to a retired part of the forest (of Towskipowski, Poland) where few animals ever came; and telling me that I must now stand alone, extended both paws, and slowly lowered me towards the earth. The height as I looked down, seemed terrible, and I felt my legs kick in the air, with fear of I did not...
Halaman 237 - ... one in whom all the qualities of the fairer, or at least, the softer sex, were united. I shall never forget the patience, the gentleness, the skill, an,d the firmness with which she first taught me to walk alone. I mean to walk on all fours, of course : the upright manner of my present walking, was only learned afterwards. As this infant effort, however, is one of my very earliest recollections, I have mentioned it before all the rest, and if you please, I will give you a little account of it.
Halaman 308 - Your tusk — your very bones, appear; nay, as I live an honest life, he hath denuded you of half of one of your ears !" The discomfited Bear, writhing with mental and physical anguish, replied not a word, but limped away to the grand assembly, where, in dismal accents, he recounted the sad trick that Reynard had played him. The mighty autocrat of birds and beasts was never known to be in such a towering passion on any former occasion. He started from his throne — his mane bristled, his eyes flashed...
Halaman 324 - Sketches. infinite joy, discovered his hoard, and with the assistance of my wife, removed it to a place more convenient for us, where we laid it safe from the search of all and sundry. When my unhappy father went to view his treasures, and found them all taken away, he rent the air with his bowlings, and wandered from place to place, but could find no rest. He at last grew gloomy and morose, and, finding his misery beyond endurance, he hanged himself.
Halaman 237 - ... mother was one in whom all the qualities of the fairer, or at least the softer, sex were united.
