Էջ 58 - BEGIN the morning by saying to thyself, I shall meet with the busybody, the ungrateful, arrogant, deceitful, envious, unsocial. All these things happen to them by reason of their ignorance of what is good and evil. But I who have seen the nature of the good that it is beautiful, and of the bad that it is ugly, and the nature of him who does wrong, that it is akin to me, not only of the same blood or seed, but that it participates in the same intelligence and the same portion of the divinity, I can...

Էջ 18 - IF STILL THEY LIVE IF still they live, whom touch nor sight Nor any subtlest sense can prove, Though dwelling past our day and night, At farthest star's remove, — Oh, not because these skies they change For upper deeps of sky unknown, Shall that which made...

The long years descend on me, The winters bend on me Their gathering might, As when dwindles the light, And the gray of the fields To the white drift yields.
Էջ 93 - OFT have I wakened ere the spring of day, And, from my window looking forth, have found All dim and strange the long-familiar ground. But soon I saw the mist glide slow away, And leave the hills in wonted green array, While from the stream-sides and the fields around Rose many a pensive day-entreating sound, And the deep-breasted woodlands seemed to pray. Will it be even so when first we wake Beyond the Night in which are merged all nights, — The soul sleep-heavy and forlorn will ache, Deeming...
Էջ 60 - These are so, as thou shalt see, Not too much perturbed be, — Nay, for this were harm's increase, — In thy bosom nestle Peace ! These are so from blinded sight ; If thine eye have more of light, Thankful, keep within the ray Thrown upon thy fairer way, — Thankful that no God commands Thou go forth with scourging hands.
Էջ 60 - Thou shalt see the boastful gain What meek Worth shall seek in vain. Thriftless running to and fro Shall for zeal and service show. Foolish ones shall sit in state While the wise unplaced shall wait.
Էջ 9 - That are the haunters of our life's dim dream. Pain, error, grief, and fear — poor shadows all, I, to thy triumph caught, saw fail and fade. Yet as some...
Էջ 80 - THOUGH Life's tide ebbed or flowed beneath my eyes, Its ebb had but a legend's force for me Until the refluent wave made prize of thee. Now thoughts of Death forever in me rise, But in no strange, in no forbidding guise...
