Strana 139 - ... that stood by them, to save themselves. Some were looking up towards the heavens in a thoughtful posture, and, in the midst of a speculation, stumbled and fell out of sight. Multitudes were very busy in the pursuit of bubbles, that glittered in their eyes, and danced before them ; but often, when they thought themselves within the reach of them, their footing failed and down they sunk.
Strana 234 - If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering: If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep...
Strana 140 - are Envy, Avarice, Superstition, Despair, Lore, with the like cares and passions that infest human life. ' I here fetched a deep sigh. « Alas," said I, " man was made in vain ! how is he given away to misery and mortality! tortured in life, and swallowed up in death!"

I drew near with that reverence which is due to a superior nature ; and, as my heart was entirely subdued by the captivating strains I had heard, I fell down at his feet and wept. The genius smiled upon me with a look of compassion and affability, that familiarized him to my imagination, and at once dispelled all the fears and apprehensions...
