Page 276 - Far, far around shall those dark-cluster'd trees Fledge the wild-ridged mountains steep by steep ; And there by zephyrs, streams, and birds, and bees, The moss-lain Dryads shall be...
Page 473 - But of that day and hour knoweth no man ; no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Page 64 - I saw and felt a waft of death go forth against him ; and when I came to him he looked like a dead man.
