Popular passages
Page 218 - The East bowed low before the blast In patient, deep disdain ; She let the legions thunder past, And plunged in thought again.
Page 450 - It is the representative of his best moments, and all that there has been about him of soft and gentle and pure and penitent and good speaks to him for ever out of his English bible It is his sacred thing, which doubt has never dimmed, and controversy never soiled.
