Side 256 - The angel of death has been abroad throughout the land ; you may almost hear the beating of his wings.
Side 145 - As the sun, Ere it is risen, sometimes paints its image In the atmosphere, so often do the spirits Of great events stride on before the events. And in today already walks tomorrow.
