الصفحة 102 - In the elder days of Art, Builders -wrought with greatest care Each minute and unseen part ; For the gods see everywhere.
الصفحة 168 - Cast forth thy Act, thy Word, into the everliving, ever-working Universe: it is a seed-grain that cannot die; unnoticed to-day (says one), it will be found flourishing as a Banyan-grove (perhaps, alas, as a Hemlockforest!) after a thousand years.
