Seite 213 - ... lofty stamp is degraded rather than exalted by an attempt to reward virtue with temporal prosperity. Such is not the recompense which providence has deemed worthy of suffering merit ; and it is a dangerous and fatal doctrine to teach young persons, the most common readers of romance, that rectitude of conduct and of principle are either naturally allied with, or adequately rewarded by, the gratification of our passions, or attainment of our wishes. In a word, if a virtuous and self-denied character...
Seite 191 - A countenance in which did meet Sweet records, promises as sweet; A creature not too bright or good For human nature's daily food, For transient sorrows, simple wiles, Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears, and smiles.
Seite 209 - Horribly beautiful ! but on the verge, From side to side, beneath the glittering morn, An Iris sits, amidst the infernal surge, Like Hope upon a death.bed, and, unworn Its steady dyes, while all around is torn By the distracted waters, bears serene Its brilliant hues with all their beams unshorn : Resembling, 'mid the torture of the scene, Love watching Madness with unalterable mien.
Seite 59 - What shall we say of a Christian famishing in a land of Christian affluence, because the means of earning bread is not afforded him in our chaotic and warring social order ? Surely the soul of such a one must appear as an accusing angel at the bar of Eternal Justice against the community in which such a tragedy was enacted. Yet such a calamity has taken place, even in this country. Let us hope that the time when it could be is nearly at an end, and that the knowledge of its possibility will soon...
Seite 35 - ... a word that the slave may utter, but whose meaning he can never comprehend; you rub the weals that are raised on you by blows; to me every finger pointed at me in scorn makes a wound like an ashwood lance with a poisoned tip of brass. Oh ye holy Gods! who can help us?
Seite 57 - Mot merely insurance against extremest misery, but provision for positive and essentially equal happiness, is implied. And why may not this be realized? Why should not the Christian dispensation become the basis of a new and benignant Social Order, from which want and wo, fraud and wrong, discord and antagonism, shall be banished, and the highest attainable good of each member be striven for and secured? Why may not such an order be formed, which shall secure to each individual not only abundant...
Seite 232 - The while my grovelling thoughts half buried lie, Or lawless roam around this earthly waste. Chains of my heart, avaunt I say — I will arise, and in the strength of love Pursue the bright track ere it fade away, My Saviour's pathway to His home above. Sure, when I reach the point where earth Melts into nothing from th...
Seite 154 - God, a high, soft star to be ! Calm, still, and bright, to trace my way in heaven, And shed my light o'er life's tempestuous sea, Where human hearts, like fragile barks, are driven 'Mid rocks and hidden shoals. A soul 'mid glorious souls — A small, pure star within the glittering band That high above the clouds, undimmed and grand, In placid beauty rolls...
Seite 136 - The bosom of Eternal Love its goal, And light its crown, and bliss its destiny ! As the bright meteor darts along the sky, Leaving a trail of beauty on its way, So, winged with energy that cannot die, My soul shall reach the gates of endless day, And bid them backward roll!
Seite 219 - ... unhappy love, It would have flung an interest round life Mine never knew. This is an empty wish ; Our feelings are not fires to light at will Our nature's fine and subtle mysteries ; We may control them, but may not create, And love less than its fellows. I have fed Perhaps too much upon the lotos fruits Imagination yields, — fruits which unfit The palate for the more substantial food Of our own land — reality.
