الصفحة 598 - While their sorrow's at the height, Lose discrimination quite, And their hasty wrath let fall, To appease their frantic gall, On the darling thing whatever, Whence they feel it death to sever, Though it be, as they, perforce, Guiltless of the sad divorce.

الصفحة 383 - JAMES WHITE is extinct, and with him these suppers have long ceased. He carried away with him half the fun of the world when he died — of my world at least.

الصفحة 326 - THE human species, according to the best theory I can form of it, is composed of two distinct races, the men who borrow, and the men who lend.
