Page 58 - The years passed on in swiftness fleet, The road became a village street; And this, before men were aware, A city's crowded thoroughfare. And soon the central street was this Of a renowned metropolis; And men two centuries and a half Trod in the footsteps of that calf.
Page 58 - For men are prone to go it blind Along the calf-paths of the mind, And work away from sun to sun To do what other men have done. They follow in the beaten track, And out and in, and forth and back, And still their devious course pursue, To keep the path that others do. They keep the path a sacred groove, Along which all their lives they move, But how the wise old wood-gods laugh, Who saw the first primeval calf! Ah! Many things this tale might teach — But I am not ordained to preach.

Page 58 - And from that day o'er hill and glade, Through those old woods a path was made; And many men wound in and out, And dodged and turned and bent about, And uttered words of righteous wrath Because 'twas such a crooked path. But still they followed, do not laugh, The first migrations of that calf; And through this winding woodway stalked Because he wobbled when he walked.

Page 111 - The juice nectareous, and the balmy dew ; For me, the mine a thousand treasures brings ; For me, health gushes from a thousand springs ; Seas roll to waft me, suns to light me rise ; My foot-stool earth, my canopy the skies.
Page 206 - Truth crushed to earth, shall rise again The eternal years of God are hers; But Error, wounded, writhes in pain, And dies among his worshippers.
Page 58 - And then a wise bell-wether sheep, pursued the trail o'er vale and steep, And drew the flock behind him, too, as good bell-wethers always do. And from that day, o'er hill and glade, through those old woods a path was made.
Page 180 - Social reform is not to be secured by noise and shouting; by complaints and denunciations : by the formation of parties, or the making of revolutions ; but by the awakening of thought and the progress of ideas. Until there be correct thought there cannot be right action, and when there is correct thought right action will follow.
Page 58 - This forest path became a lane That bent and turned and turned again This crooked lane became a road, Where many a poor horse with his load, Toiled on beneath the burning sun, And traveled some three miles in one ; And thus a century and a half They trod the footsteps of that calf.
