Сторінка 16 - No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

But I simply cannot paint, nor read, nor look at minerals, nor do anything else that I like, and the very light of the morning sky...
Сторінка 13 - Unhappy coursers of immortal strain! Exempt from age, and deathless now in vain; Did we your race on mortal man bestow, Only, alas! to share in mortal woe ? For ah!
Сторінка 17 - Secondly, your power over the rain and river-waters of the earth is infinite. You can bring rain where you will, by planting wisely and tending carefully; drought where you will, by ravage of woods and neglect of the soil. You might have the rivers of England as pure as the crystal of the rock; beautiful in falls, in lakes, in living pools; so full of fish that you might take them out with your hands instead of nets. Or you may do always as you have done now — turn every river of England into a...
