It is only a superficial antagonism, Mr Lyell, that exists between the man of science and myself — a mere juggle on words. For if the promise and potency of every form of life are to be found in matter, where is the difference between us ? Call it matter if you like, Mr Professor ; I call it spirit. No, Mr Lyell, the men of...
الصفحة 29 - In the shape of a wild boar. 3. Three hundred years he was still in the flesh In the shape of an old bird ; One hundred delightful years he lived In the shape of a salmon in the flood. 4. A fisherman caught him in his net, He brought it to the king's palace ; When the bright salmon was there seen The queen immediately longed for it. 5. It was forthwith dressed for her, Which she alone ate entire ; The beauteous queen became pregnant, The issue of which was Tuan.
الصفحة 15 - Mountain o' the Wun, steeped in thun'er and racked wi' storm, stude up black as ink against the sky ; yet at pints there were glints o' sunshine that pented the green on the bracken and the purple on the heather ; and from the tap o' Tarsuin we saw a streak o' silver in the west — which betokened fine weather at sea.
