132. lappuse - And these had the weather in their favour ; for it is an ill wind that blows no one any good ; and the rain that rains on the just and unjust seems to have a preference for the latter.
360. lappuse - Slow sinks, more lovely ere his race be run, Along Morea's hills the setting sun: Not, as in northern climes, obscurely bright, But one unclouded blaze of living light!
203. lappuse - Who cares for nothing alone is free. Sit down, good fellow, and drink with me ! With a careless heart and a merry eye, He will laugh at the world as the world goes by.
203. lappuse - He laughs at the world, as the world goes by. He laughs at power, and wealth, and fame; He laughs at virtue, he laughs at shame; He laughs at hope, and he laughs at fear...
204. lappuse - Who scaled its rampart and reigns within. My sight is fading — it dies away — I cannot tell is it night or day. My heart is burnt and blackened with pain, And a horrible darkness crushes my brain. I cannot see you — the end is nigh — But we'll laugh together before I die. Through awful chasms I plunge and fall — Your hand, good fellow, — I die — that's all.
231. lappuse - Anything is dangerous in the hands of a man who knows how to use it," went on The Thinking Machine.
204. lappuse - I think that the hour of death is near ; For I know that death is a guest divine, Who shall drink my blood, as I drink this wine. And he cares for nothing ! a king is he — Come on, old fellow, and drink with me ! With you I will drink to the solemn past, Though the cup that I drain should be my last. I will drink to the phantoms of love and truth ; To ruined hopes and a wasted youth.
140. lappuse - ... for the one is no less expressly enjoined than the other. But this were to overturn all distinctions of rich and poor, and all possession of property ; which is as contrary to the whole current of Scripture as inconsistent with the welfare of human society.
107. lappuse - tea, as tea made in the Bush is always called, is really the proper way to make it. A tin quart of water is set down by the fire, and when it is boiling hard a handful of tea is thrown in, and the pot instantly removed from the fire. Thus the tea is really made with boiling water, which brings out its full flavour, and it is drunk before it has time to draw too much.
204. lappuse - I will drink to the thought of a better time ; To innocence, gone like a death-bell chime. I will drink to the shadow of coming doom ; To the phantoms that wait in my lonely tomb. I will drink to my soul in its terrible mood. Dimly and solemnly understood. And, last of all, to the Monarch of Sin, Who has conquered that fortress and reigns within.
