" There was ink on her thumb when I kissed her hand, And she whispered, " If you should die, I will write you an epitaph, gloomy and grand ;" — There'll be time enough for that, said I.
Strana 95 - A cold, white blade that gleamed and shone, Like a splinter of daylight downward thrown — And the moon went behind a cloud. But the moon came out so broad and good, The...
Strana 211 - That you're always going to be. What! Be a great, tall, handsome beast, With hoofs to gallop on? Why! You'd have to change your nature! " Said the Loxolophodon. They considered him disposed of, And retired with gait serene; That was the way they argued In
Strana 179 - Three wise men of Gotham, They went to sea in a bowl — And if the bowl had been stronger, My tale had been longer." Mother Goose Melody. Gotham was a village proverbial for the blundering simplicity of its inhabitants. At first the name referred to an English village. Irving applied it to New York City.
Strana 222 - ... despair and loss. The more, that, for old service in sickness and need, he was here a loved and honored guest. When he arrived, the cattle were already on the hills, the pigs and chickens far afield. Don Francisco, white-haired, erect, welcomed him with stately courtesy. "Enter, then, Don Tomas — the house is thine in very truth. Nay, the young men shall care for thy horse.
