Side 168 - In old days there were angels who came and took men by the hand and led them away from the city of destruction. We see no whitewinged angels now. But yet men are led away from threatening destruction: a hand is put into theirs, which leads them forth gently towards a calm and bright land, so that they look no more backward; and the hand may be a little child's.
Side 140 - In utter amazement, Silas fell on his knees and bent his head low to examine the marvel: it was a sleeping child a round, fair thing, with soft yellow rings all over its head. Could this be his little sister come back to him in a dream his little sister whom he had carried about in his arms for a year before she died, when he was a small boy without shoes or stockings?
Side 159 - Dolly had said it was for the good of the child; and in this way, as the weeks grew to months, the child created fresh and fresh links between his life and the lives from which he had hitherto shrunk continually into narrower isolation.

Side 160 - ... was hidden away from the daylight, was deaf to the song of birds, and started to no human tones— Eppie was a creature of endless claims and ever-growing desires, seeking and loving sunshine, and living sounds, and living movements; making trial of everything, with trust in new joy, and stirring the human kindness in all eyes that looked on her. The gold had kept his thoughts in an ever-repeated circle, leading to nothing beyond itself...
Side 140 - How and when had the child come in without his knowledge? He had never been beyond the door. But along with that question, and almost thrusting it away, there was a vision of the old home and the old streets leading to Lantern Yard— and within that vision another, of the thoughts which had been present with him in those far-off scenes.
Side 13 - Lethean influence of exile, in which the past becomes dreamy because its symbols have all vanished, and the present too is dreamy because it is linked with no memories.
