Side 106 - Never indeed was any man more contented with doing his duty in that state of life to which it had pleased God to call him.
Side 131 - O, how this spring of love resembleth The uncertain glory of an April day ; Which now shows all the beauty of the sun. And by-and-by a cloud takes all away ! Re-enter PANTHINO.
Side 103 - THE WORLD LOVE built a stately house ; where Fortune came ; And spinning fancies she was heard to say, That her fine cobwebs did support the frame, Whereas they were supported by the same : But Wisdom quickly swept them all away. Then Pleasure came, who, liking not the fashion, Began to make balconies...
Side 157 - Amand was — he never perhaps would have been guilty of an infidelity that he strove with the keenest remorse to wrestle against, had it not been for the fatal contrast, at the first moment of his gushing enthusiasm, which Julie had presented to Lucille ; but for that he would have formed no previous idea of real and living beauty to aid the disappointment of his imaginings and his dreams. He would have seen Lucille young and graceful, and with eyes beaming affection, contrasted only by the wrinkled...
Side 129 - ... The immortal glory which hath never set; The best, the brightest boon the heart e'er knew: Of all life's sweets the very sweetest yet! Oh, who but can recall the eve they met To breathe in some green walk their first young vow Whilst summer flowers with moonlight dews were wet, And winds sighed soft around the mountain's brow,— And all was rapture then, which is but memory now.
Side 133 - IT was noonday in the town of Malines, or Mechlin, as the English usually term it ; the Sabbath bell had summoned the inhabitants to divine worship ; and the crowd that had loitered round the church of St. Rembauld had gradually emptied itself within the spacious aisles of the sacred edifice. A young man was standing in the street, with his eyes bent on the ground, and apparently listening for some sound ; for, without raising his looks from the rude pavement, he turned to every corner of it with...
Side 127 - II n'ya roc qui n'entende leur voix, Leurs piteux cris ont faict cent mille fois Pleurer les monts, les plaines et les bois, Les antres et fonteines: M Bref, il n'ya ny solitaires lieux, Ny lieux hantez, voyre mesmes les cieux. Qui ça et là ne montrent à leurs yeux L'image de leurs peines.
Side 122 - ... sunshine from his prison, and hears the lark singing at liberty. Her heart was open now to all the exhilarating and all the softening influences of birds, fields, flowers, vernal suns, and melodious streams. She was subject to the same daily and hourly exercise of meekneSs, patience, and humility ; but the trial was no longer painful ; with love in her heart, and hope and sunshine in her prospect, she found even a pleasure in contrasting her present condition with that which was in store for...
Side 129 - Love ?— I will tell thee what it is to love ! It is to build with human thoughts a shrine, Where Hope sits brooding like a beauteous dove ; Where time seems young, and life a thing divine. All tastes, all pleasures, all desires combine To consecrate this sanctuary of bliss. Above, the stars in shroudless beauty shine ; Around, the streams their flowery margins kiss ; And if there's heaven on earth, that heaven is surely this...
Side 122 - He had now a definite and attainable hope, — an object in life which gave to life itself a value. For Margaret, the world no longer seemed to her like the same earth which she had till then inhabited. Hitherto she had felt herself a forlorn and solitary creature, without a friend ; and the sweet sounds and pleasant objects of nature had imparted as little cheerfulness to her as to the debtor who sees green fields in sunshine from his prison, and hears the lark singing at liberty. Her heart was...
