No doubt they were elevated for a moment as by the reminiscence of a previous state of existence, when even they were foresters and outlaws. " When he came...
Side 275 - I have been preparing to say is, that in Wildness is the preservation of the World. Every tree sends its fibres forth in search of the Wild. The cities import it at any price. Men plough and sail for it. From the forest and wilderness come the tonics and barks which brace mankind.
Side 396 - He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away ; the branches thereof are made white.
Side 418 - The catechism says that the chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy him forever, which of course is applicable mainly to God as seen in his works.
Side 177 - Et jam summa procul villarum culmina fumant, Majoresque cadunt altis de montibus umbrae.
