Popular passages
Page 61 - Alas ! — how light a cause may move Dissension between hearts that love ! Hearts that the world in vain had tried, And sorrow but more closely tied ; That stood the storm, when waves were rough, Yet in a sunny hour fall off, Like ships that have gone down at sea, When heaven was all tranquillity...
Page 150 - ... but I ... I sate among men, And I have loved these. The least touch of their hands in the morning, I keep it by day and by night ; Their least step on the stair, at the door, still throbs through me, if ever so light : Their least gift, which they left to my childhood, far off in the long-ago years, Is turned from a toy to a relic, and seen through the crystal of tears.
Page 103 - Josquin, you do not know what you are talking about. I am not your life ; your work, you have told me, is your life ; your whole calling is between us — you must be a great man.
