Pàgina 262 - My good blade carves the casques of men, My tough lance thrusteth sure, My strength is as the strength of ten, Because my heart is pure.
Pàgina 288 - And live alone in the bee-loud glade. And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow, Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow, And evening full...

Pàgina 320 - Of the attempts hitherto made to define or explain an element, none satisfy the demands of the human intellect.
