Сторінка 159 - O MAY I JOIN THE CHOIR INVISIBLE" Longum illud tempus, quum non era, magis me movet, quam hoc exiguum. — Cicero, Ad Att., xii: 18. O may I join the choir invisible Of those immortal dead who live again In minds made better by their presence: live In pulses stirred to generosity, In deeds of daring rectitude, in scorn For miserable aims that end with self, In thoughts sublime that pierce the night like stars, And with their mild persistence urge man's search To vaster issues.
Сторінка 159 - May I reach That purest heaven, be to other souls The cup of strength in some great agony, Enkindle generous ardor, feed pure love, Beget the smiles that have no cruelty, Be the sweet presence of a good diffused, And in diffusion ever more intense. So shall I join the choir invisible Whose music is the gladness of the world.

Сторінка 87 - ... motives for definite and influential ones. Even now, for the great mass of men, unable through lack of culture to trace out with due clearness those good and bad consequences which conduct brings round through the established order of the Unknowable, it is needful that there should be vividly depicted future torments and future joys — pains and pleasures of a definite kind, produced in a manner direct and simple enough to be clearly imagined.
Сторінка 159 - This is life to come, Which martyred men have made more glorious For us who strive to follow. May I reach That purest heaven, be to other souls The cup of strength in some great agony, Enkindle generous...
Сторінка 159 - That watched to ease the burden of the world, Laboriously tracing what must be, And what may yet be better, — saw within A worthier image for the sanctuary. And shaped it forth before the multitude, Divinely human, raising worship so To higher reverence more mixed...
Сторінка 39 - When we consider how ardent a sentiment, in favourable circumstances of education, the love of country has become, we cannot judge it impossible that the love of that larger country, the world, may be nursed into similar strength, both as a source of elevated emotion and as a principle of duty.
Сторінка 81 - That the object-matter can be replaced by another objectmatter, as supposed by those who think the "religion of humanity" will be the religion of the future, is a belief countenanced neither by induction nor by deduction.
