الصفحة 106 - The Members of the League agree that if there should arise between them any dispute likely to lead to a rupture, they will submit the matter either to arbitration or to inquiry by the Council, and they agree in no case to resort to war until three months after the award by the arbitrators or the report by the Council.
الصفحة 249 - But, och ! it hardens a' within, And petrifies the feeling ! To catch dame Fortune's golden smile, Assiduous wait upon her ; And gather gear by ev'ry wile That's justified by honour; Not for to hide it in a hedge, Nor for a train attendant ; But for the glorious privilege Of being independent. The fear o' hell's a hangman's whip, To haud the wretch in order ; But where ye feel your honour grip, Let that aye be your border ; Its slightest touches, instant pause — Debar a...
الصفحة 418 - Is the calm thine of stoic souls, who weigh Life well, and find it wanting, nor deplore ; But in disdainful silence turn away, Stand mute, self-centred, stern, and dream no more?
الصفحة 210 - Hadst thou but lived, though stripped of power, A watchman on the lonely tower, Thy thrilling trump had roused the land, When fraud or danger were at hand . By thee as by the beacon-light, Our pilots had kept course aright ; As some proud column, though alone, Thy strength had propped the tottering throne. Now is the stately column broke, The beacon-light is quenched in smoke...
الصفحة 420 - Wenlock Edge was umbered, And bright was Abdon Burf , And warm between them slumbered The smooth green miles of turf; Until from grass and clover The upshot beam would fade, And England over Advanced the lofty shade. The lofty shade advances, I fetch my flute and play: Come, lads, and learn the dances And praise the tune to-day. To-morrow, more's the pity, Away we both must hie, To air the ditty, And to earth I.
الصفحة 256 - And the price is worth paying if you keep what you have bought. For the eternal question still is whether the profit of any concession that a man makes to his Tribe, against the Light that is in him, outweighs or justifies his disregard of that Light. A man may apply his independence to what is called worldly advantage, and discover too late that he laboriously has made himself dependent on a mass of external conditions, for the maintenance of which he has sacrificed himself.
الصفحة 277 - All this is boring," said Blok, shaking his head. ' ' The thing is simpler ; the fact is that we have become too clever to believe in God, and not strong enough to believe in ourselves alone. As the foundations on which life and belief may rest there exist only God and myself. Mankind ? But can one believe in mankind after this war and on the eve of inevitable, still more cruel wars ? No, that fancy of yours ... it is uncanny 1 I don't think you were speaking seriously.
الصفحة 295 - While reaffirming its adherence to the principle of Nonco-operation this Congress declares that such Congressmen as have no religious or other conscientious objections against entering the legislatures are at liberty to stand as candidates and to exercise the right of voting at the forthcoming elections, and this Congress therefore suspends all propaganda against entering Councils.
الصفحة 253 - Partly through a recent necessity for thinking and acting in large masses, partly through the instinct of mankind to draw together and cry out when calamity hits them, and very largely through the quickening of communications . . . the power of the Tribe over the individual has become more extended, particular, pontifical, and, using the word in both its senses, impertinent, than it has been for many generations. Some men accept this omnipresence of crowds; some may resent it. To the latter, I am...
الصفحة 420 - The night is freezing fast, To-morrow comes December; And winterfalls of old Are with me from the past; And chiefly I remember How Dick would hate the cold. Fall, winter, fall; for he, Prompt hand and headpiece clever, Has woven a winter robe, And made of earth and sea His overcoat for ever, And wears the turning globe.
