Էջ 156 - I will plant in the wilderness the cedar, the shittah tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree; I will set in the desert the fir tree, and the pine, and the box tree together...
Էջ 185 - Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the LORD be upon you: we bless you in the name of the LORD.
Էջ 167 - It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.
Էջ 45 - Darkness and light divide the course of time, and oblivion shares with memory a great part even of our living beings ; we slightly remember our felicities, and the smartest strokes of affliction leave but short smart upon us.

And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen ; and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children's children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast.

' Time, which antiquates antiquities, and hath an art to make dust of all things, hath yet spared these minor monuments.
Էջ 49 - ... tis all one to lie in St. Innocent's Churchyard as in the sands of Egypt : ready to be anything, in the ecstasy of being ever, and as content with six foot as the moles of Adrianus.
Էջ 48 - Pious spirits who passed their days in raptures of futurity, made little more of this world, than the world that was before it, while they lay obscure in the chaos of pre-ordination, and night of their fore-beings. And if any have been so happy as truly to understand Christian annihilation, extasis, exolution, liquefaction, transformation, the kiss of the Spouse, gustation of God, and ingression into the divine shadow, they have already had an handsome anticipation of heaven; the glory of the world...
Էջ 173 - The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycamores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.
