Page 3 - ... Spirit fierce, My spirit! Be thou me, impetuous one! Drive my dead thoughts over the universe Like withered leaves to quicken a new birth! And, by the incantation of this verse, Scatter, as from an unextinguished hearth Ashes and sparks, my words among mankind! Be through my lips to unawakened earth The trumpet of a prophecy! O Wind, If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?
Page 3 - I often hear him thus a long way off, sometimes over a quarter of a mile away, when only the stronger and more perfect parts of his music reach me; and through the general chorus of wrens and warblers I detect this sound rising pure and serene, as if a spirit from some...
Page 41 - Napoleon in Exile ; or, a Voice from St. Helena. Being the Opinions and Reflections of Napoleon, on the most important Events in his Life and Government, in his own words. By BARRY E. O'MEARA, his late Surgeon ; with a Portrait of Napoleon, after the celebrated picture of Delaroche, and a view of St.
Page 4 - Lord Byron is dead. If I have not read a book before, it is, to all intents and purposes, new to me, whether it was printed yesterday or three hundred years ago. If it be urged that it has no modern, passing incidents, and is out of date and old-fashioned, then it is so much the newer ; it is farther removed from other works that I have lately read, from the familiar routine of ordinary life, and makes so much more addition to my knowledge.
Page 3 - These things he plants who plants a tree. What does he plant who plants a tree? He plants cool shade and tender rain, And seed and bud of days to be, And years that fade and flush again; He plants the glory of the plain; He plants the forest's heritage; The harvest of a coming age; The joy that unborn eyes shall see — These things he plants who plants a tree.
Page 3 - HERE is a rapturous movement, a green growing Among the hills and valleys once again, And silent rivers of delight are flowing Into the hearts of men. There is a purple weaving on the heather, Night drops down starry gold upon the furze, Wild rivers and wild birds sing songs together, Dead nature breathes and stirs.
Page 3 - The blasts of Autumn drive the winged seeds Over the earth, — next come the snows, and rain, And frosts, and storms, which dreary Winter leads Out of his Scythian cave...
Page 26 - By Nile and Tigris; a narrative of journeys in Egypt and Mesopotamia on behalf of the British Museum between the years 1886 and 1913.
Page 3 - ... Adonais, awakened in him not only by his sympathy with Keats, but also by the resemblance of the fate of Keats to his own, is almost as much concerned with Shelley as with its subject. There is nothing in English poetry so steeped in passionate personality as the description of himself in stanzas 31-34. It is almost too close, too unveiled, too intense to have been written.
Page 4 - Principia, with Justinian's Code, with the Parthenon and St. Peter's. It is the first Christian poem ; and it opens European literature, as the Iliad did that of Greece and Rome. And, like the Iliad, it has never become out of date ; it accompanies in undiminished freshness the literature which it began.
