Page 231 - Then from a neighboring thicket the mocking-bird, wildest of singers, Swinging aloft on a willow spray that hung o'er the water, Shook from his little throat such floods of delirious music, That the whole air and the woods and the waves seemed silent to listen.
Page 88 - It can be proved by the evidence of language, that before their separation the Aryans led the life of agricultural nomads — a life such as Tacitus describes that of the ancient Germans. They knew the arts of ploughing, of making roads, of building ships, of weaving and sewing, of erecting houses ; they had counted at least as far as one hundred.
Page 26 - Blackish ; below white, dark along the sides and on the vent and crissum; most of head and fore-neck bluish-gray, the throat with a large chestnut patch; hind neck sharply streaked with white on a blackish ground, bill black.
Page 65 - omnipresent, that knoweth all thoughts, and giveth all gifts," " without whom man is as nothing," " invisible, incorporeal, one God, of perfect perfection and purity," " under whose wings we find repose and a sure defence.
