Seite 86 - ... inconsolable tears ; and, whether in triumphant or defeated lands, a shudder of orphanage and widowhood — a chill of woe and death — runs far and wide through the world. The meek moon breaks the dissipating veil of the conflict, and rolls its calm splendor above the dead. And see now how much woe man has mingled with the inevitable evils of the universe !

In that apposition...

Seite 41 - Profaneness is a mean vice. It indicates the grossest ingratitude. According to general estimation, he who repays kindness with contumely, he who abuses his friend and benefactor, is deemed pitiful and wretched. And yet, O profane one ! whose name is it you handle so lightly ? It is that of your best Benefactor ! You, whose blood would boil to hear the venerable names of your earthly parents hurled about in scoffs and jests, abuse, without compunction and without thought, the name of your Heavenly...
Seite 86 - ... streets roll out their tides of acclamation, and the organ heaves from its groaning breast the peal of thanksgiving. But, under that tumultuous joy, there are bleeding bosoms and inconsolable tears. And, whether in triumphant or defeated lands, a shudder of orphanage and widowhood, a chill of woe and death runs far and wide through the world. The meek moon breaks the dissipating vail of the conflict, and rolls its calm splendor above the dead.
Seite 42 - Have you ever thought what it is that you mingle thus with your passion and your wit' ? It is the name of Him whom the angels worship, whom the heaven of heavens can not contain ! 5.
Seite 41 - There is no organic symmetry in the narrative which is ingrained with oaths ; and the blasphemy which bolsters an opinion does not make it any more correct.
