For the sake of a joke, she was told to pack up her things, and start off immediately, but to this she made no reply....
Strana 56 - ... by her brother, while the other was writing a note in the adjoining room. When her note was ready for being sealed, she was proceeding to take out, for this purpose, the watch alluded to, which had been put by in her writing-desk ; — she was astonished to find it had stopped. At the same instant she heard a scream of intense distress from her sister in the other room, — their brother, who had still been considered as going on favourably, had been seized with a sudden fit of suffocation, and...
Strana 53 - Of all the truths we know," says Mr. Stewart, " the existence of mind is the most certain. Even the system of Berkeley concerning the non-existence of matter is far more conceivable than that nothing but matter exists in the universe.
Strana 63 - However astonishing, it is now proved beyond all rational doubt, that in certain abnormal states of the nervous organism, perceptions are possible through other than the ordinary channels of the senses.
Strana 47 - The soul, secured in her existence, smiles At the drawn dagger, and defies its point. The stars shall fade away, the sun himself Grow dim with age, and Nature sink in years, But thou shalt flourish in immortal youth, Unhurt amidst the war of elements, The wreck of matter, and the crush of worlds.
