Side 115 - Last noon beheld them full of lusty life, Last eve in Beauty's circle proudly gay, The midnight brought the signal-sound of strife, The morn the marshalling in arms — the day Battle's magnificently stern array...
Side 24 - Mouths have they, but they do not speak ; and eyes, but do not see ; 6 Ears have they, but they do not hear ; noses, but savour not ; 7 Hands, feet, but handle not, nor walk ; nor speak they through their throat. 8 Like them their makers are, and all on them their trust that build. 9 O Isr'el, trust thou in the Lord, he is their help and shield.

Starting on my feet at this extraordinary spectacle, I saw the old man some paces beyond the planking, whirling in apparent ecstacy his heavy- pole and its pendant lamps above his head until the lights were extinguished by the rapid motion. Availing myself of his absence, I approached the aperture, when I stopped short in breathless surprise as I beheld slowly...
