Page 264 - Joy and Temperance and Repose, Slam the door on the doctor's nose. I SIN. Manlike is it to fall into sin. Fiend-like is it to dwell therein, Christ-like is it for sin to grieve, God-like is it all sin to leave.
Page 256 - And fain it would stoop downward To the mirrored wave below ; And fain it would soar upward In the evening's ciimsoii glow." " Well have I seen that castle, That Castle by the Sea, And the moon above it standing, And the mist rise solemnly.

Page 366 - Ah, to build, to build ! That is the noblest art of all the arts.
