Page 31 - THE Assyrian came down like the wolf on the fold, And his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold ; And the sheen of their spears was like stars on the sea, When the blue wave rolls nightly on deep Galilee.
Page 112 - For we are lovers of the beautiful, yet simple in our tastes, and we cultivate the mind without loss of manliness.
