Сторінка 297 - With a heart of furious fancies, Whereof I am commander : With a burning spear, And a horse of air, To the wilderness I wander ; With a knight of ghosts and shadows, I summoned am to Tourney : Ten leagues beyond The wide world's end ; Methinks it is no journey...
Сторінка 169 - Baffled and beaten back she works on still, Weary and sick of soul she works the more, Sustained by her indomitable will: The hands shall fashion and the brain shall pore, And all her sorrow shall be turned to labour, Till death, the friend-foe, piercing with his sabre That mighty heart of hearts ends bitter war.

'But would you mind letting me hold your hand? I feel as if I wanted something to hold on to. One drops through the dark so.
Сторінка 61 - Dick knew, to be made out of them all. The poor at least should suffer that he might learn, and the rich should pay for the output of his learning. Thus his credit in the world and his cash balance at the bank would be increased. So much the better for him. He had suffered. Now he would take toll of the ills of others. The fog was driven apart for a moment, and the sun shone, a blood-red wafer, on the water.

No, she shall laugh right out of the canvas, and every man and woman that ever had a sorrow of their own shall — what is it the poem says? — "Understand the speech and feel a stir Of fellowship in all disastrous fight 'In all disastrous fight'?
Сторінка 217 - He must be a man of decent height, He must be a man of weight, He must come home on a Saturday night In a thoroughly sober state ; He must know how to love me. And he must know how to kiss ; And if he's enough to keep us both I can't refuse him bliss.
