Էջ 296 - The bridal-day — the festival — the tomb — Thou hast thy part in each, thou stateliest flower ! Therefore with thy soft breath come floating by A thousand images of love or grief, Dreams, fill'd with tokens of mortality, Deep thoughts of all things beautiful and brief.

A hundred and fifty feet from the ground it is only about two inches thick on the living tree, which is now being stripped of its bark for transportation from the country. " The cone of this tree is small and compact, and nearly regularly oval ; and although the tree itself is the largest of the conifera, its fruit is as small as that of the dwarfish pines of North Carolina...
Էջ 29 - The capsules are gently pounded in a mortar to loosen the seeds from, their shells, from which they are separated by sifting. To facilitate the separation of the white sebaceous matter enveloping the seeds, they are steamed in tubs, having convex, open, wicker bottoms, placed over caldrons of boiling water.
Էջ 88 - This brilliant head appeared on the side of the main-stem, among the leaves, which at that time presented a singular phenomenon. Every evening they rose up and lifted themselves from the blossoms to expose them to the dew, so that each morning these beautiful objects were uncovered ; but as day advanced the leaves gradually drooped, and bent down over the flowers to guard them from the rays of the sun.
Էջ 296 - WHO has not heard of the Vale of Cashmere, With its roses the brightest that earth ever gave, Its temples, and grottos, and fountains as clear As the love-lighted eyes that hang over their wave...
