Сторінка 191 - A sunbeam which hath lost its way, And through the crevice and the cleft Of the thick wall is fallen and left; Creeping o'er the floor so damp, Like a marsh's meteor lamp...
Сторінка 247 - For huntynge as to myn entent is to laboryous, For the hunter must alwaye renne and folowe his houndes : traueyllynge and swetynge full sore. He blowyth tyll his lyppes blyster And whan he wenyth it be an hare full oft it is an hegge hogge.
Сторінка 414 - I have been inside a good many machines ; the Army, Irish Office, Colonial Expansion, Fleet Street, Literary coteries, and now, inside and of another office : and no doubt such experience affects one. The multiplicity of parts defying philosophic comprehension and the dead weight of each dragging down individual energy, drive home the lesson that no individual or race, or age, or movement embracing many nations and some centuries, is likely to give a decisive cast to the direction of development...
