If they accept it, it is because they do not understand what it implies or because they take the word of the "experts" that it is the "only" way to win friends abroad. They, and the experts, are in the state of the man who discovered that he had been speaking prose all his life. Loyal Americans that they are, they have unthinkingly accepted a basic premise of the Communist ideology without recognizing it for...
Pàgina 50 - Riches are oft by guilt and baseness earn'd ; Or dealt by chance to shield a lucky knave, Or throw a cruel sunshine on a fool.

Pàgina 52 - began it without arrangement for alcTFrom others," he wrote later, "and was in consequence obliged to write more myself than was suitable for a work of this description." 10 The magazine was Bostonian, Harvardian, Unitarian. And yet Tudor wrote to Sparks: "My object was to abstract myself from the narrow prejudices of locality, however I might feel them. I considered the work written for the citizens of the United States, and not for the district of New England.
Pàgina 73 - That man so made, he called Elfe, to weet Quick, the first authour of all Elfin kind : Who wandring through the world with wearie feet, Did in the gardins of Adonis find A goodly creature, whom he deemd in mind To be no earthly wight, but either Spright, Or Angell, th...
