Pàgina 146 - If I should die, think only this of me: That there's some corner of a foreign field That is for ever England. There shall be In that rich earth a richer dust concealed; A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware, Gave once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam. A body of England's, breathing English air, Washed by the rivers, blest by the suns of home.

In both there was an original force of character which refused to be moulded by circumstances, which was to make its...

A great many newspapers are pulled out, and a few of them are read. Everybody talks to you, or to anybody else who hits his fancy. If you are an Englishman, he expects that that railroad is pretty much like an English railroad. If you say " No," he says " Yes ? " (interrogatively),...

Pàgina 214 - Bright shines the sun ; play, beggars play, Here's scraps enough to serve to-day. The world is ours, and ours alone, For we alone have world at will : We purchase not, all is our own, Both fields and streets we beggars fill ; Nor care to get, nor fear to keep, Did ever break a beggar's sleep.
