Halaman 191 - Greeks never would have imagined such goddesses if they had not seen such women, and our modern civilisation is imperfect if it does not provide a place and sphere for such types of womanhood. It takes all sorts of people to make up a world, and there ought to be provision, toleration, and free course for all sorts." " Well, youngster," said my uncle, " I think you'll write tolerable leaders for some Radical paper, one of these days ; but you fellows that want to get into the chariot of the sun and...
Halaman 186 - WHENE'ER I take my walks abroad, How many poor I see ! What shall I render to my God For all his gifts to me ? Not more than others I deserve, Yet God has given me more ; For I have food, while others starve, Or beg from door to door.
Halaman 473 - To bear the ills they have, Than fly to others that they know not of.
