Strana 190 - Keep not standing fixed and rooted, Briskly venture, briskly roam ; Head and hand, where'er thou foot it, And stout heart are still at home. " In what land the sun does visit, Brisk are we, whate'er betide : To give space for wandering is it That the world was made so wide.
Strana 155 - In your historical series," said he, " I find a chasm. You have destroyed the Temple of Jerusalem, and dispersed the people ; yet you have not introduced the divine Man who taught there shortly before; to whom, shortly before, they would give no ear." " To have done this, as you require it, would have been an error. The life of that divine Man, whom you allude to, stands in no connection with the general history of the world in his time. It was a private life ; his teaching was a teaching for individuals....
Strana 28 - ... and peace and love! It is when a woman has attained this inward mastery, that she truly makes the husband whom she loves a master: her attention will acquire all sorts of knowledge; her activity will turn them all to profit. Thus is she dependent upon no one; and she procures her husband genuine independence, that which is interior and domestic: whatever he possesses, he beholds secured; what he earns, well employed; and thus he can direct his mind to lofty objects, and if fortune favours, he...
Strana 69 - I augur better of a child, a youth who is wandering astray on a path of his own, than of many who are walking aright upon paths which are not theirs. If the former, either by themselves, or by the guidance of others, ever find the right path, that is to say, the path which suits their nature, they will never leave it ; while the latter are in danger every moment of shaking off a foreign yoke, and abandoning themselves to unrestricted license.
Strana 155 - ... imposing look received our Traveller. The latter found himself in a large beautifully umbrageous space, decked with the richest foliage, shaded with trees and bushes of all sorts ; while stately walls and magnificent buildings were discerned only in glimpses through this thick natural boscage. A friendly reception from the Three, who by and by appeared, at last turned into a general conversation, the substance of which we now present in an abbreviated shape. ' " Since you intrust your son to...
Strana 15 - I see nothing; behind me nothing but an endless night, in which I live in the most horrid solitude. There is no feeling in me, but the feeling of my guilt : and this appears but like a dim formless spirit, far before me. Yet here there is no height, no depth, no forwards, no backwards ; no words can express this neverchanging state. Often in the agony of this sameness, I exclaim with violence : Forever ! forever : and this dark incomprehensible word is clear and plain...
Strana 198 - After some time she did in fact re-appear: one evening, in a white robe, she came gliding in ; and as it was just then growing dusky in my room, she seemed to me taller than when I had seen her last : and I remembered having heard that all beings of the mermaid and gnome species increased in stature very perceptibly at the fall of night. She flew, as usual, to my arms ; but I could not with right gladness press her to my obstructed breast. " ' My dearest,' said she, ' I now feel by thy reception...
Strana 21 - Decided inclination, early opportunity, external impulse, and continued occupation in a useful business," said she, " make many things, which were at first far harder, possible in life. When you have learned what causes stimulated me in this pursuit, you will cease to wonder at the talent you now think strange." On returning home, she sent him to her little garden. Here he could scarcely turn himself, so narrow were the walks, so thickly was it sown and planted. On looking over to the court, he could...
Strana 29 - The greatest service I did my benefactress, was in bringing into order the extensive forests which belonged to her. In this precious property, whose value time and circumstances were continually increasing, matters still went on according to the old routine ; without regularity, without plan : no end to theft and fraud. Many hills were standing bare ; an equal growth was nowhere to be found but in the oldest cuttings. I personally visited the whole of them, with an experienced forester. I got the...
Strana 117 - Ask not the echoes of your cloisters, not your mouldering parchments, not your narrow whims and ordinances ! Ask Nature and your heart ; she will teach you what you should recoil from ; she will point out to you with the strictest finger, over what she has pronounced her everlasting curse. Look at the lilies : do not husband and wife shoot forth on the same stalk ? Does not the flower, which bore them, hold them both ? And is not the lily the type of innocence ; is not their sisterly union fruitful...
