38. lappuse - Out laugh'd the captains of Captain Sword, But their chief look'd vex'd, and said not a word, For thought and trouble had touch'd his ears Beyond the bullet-like sense of theirs ; And wherever he went, he was 'ware of a sound, Now heard in the distance, now gathering round, Which...
2. lappuse - Hasty power midst order meet ; And ever and anon the drums and fifes Came like motion's voice, and life's ; Or into the golden grandeurs fell Of deeper instruments, mingling well, Burdens of beauty for winds to bear ; And the cymbals kiss'd in the shining air, And the trumpets their visible voices reared, Each looking forth with its tapestried beard, Bidding the heavens and earth make way For Captain Sword and his battle-array. He, nevertheless, rode...
99. lappuse - Late in man^s history, yet clearly at length, it becomes manifest to the dullest, that mind is stronger than matter, that mind is the creator and shaper of matter; that not brute Force, but only Persuasion and Faith is the king of this world. The true Poet, who is but the inspired...
104. lappuse - ... so good as to state in what way I could have the good fortune to render him any service. The Prince very briefly replied that he had called upon me, considering that I wa-s the person in the hotel best capable (he politely inclined his head) of informing him by what route it would be most advisable for him to proceed to London, it being his wish to visit my country. In order at once to solve this very simple problem, I silently unfolded and spread out upon the table my map of Europe ; and each...
109. lappuse - this sweet little cherub that sits up aloft," is the only army that an enlightened country like ours should, I humbly think, deign to oppose to one who reigns in darkness, who trembles at daylight, and whose throne rests upon ignorance and despotism. Compare this mild, peaceful, intellectual policy, with the dreadful, savage alternative of going to war, and the difference must surely be evident to every one. In the former case we calmly enjoy, first of all, the pleasing reflection, that our country...
56. lappuse - Near another cart we perceived a stout-looking man and a beautiful young woman, with an infant, about seven months old, at the breast, all three frozen and dead. The mother had most certainly expired in the act of suckling her child ; as with one breast exposed she lay upon the drifted snow, the milk to all appearance in a stream drawn from the nipple by the babe, and instantly congealed. The infant seemed as if its lips had but just then been disengaged, and it reposed its little head upon the mother's...
107. lappuse - Russia; in short, that an appeal to brute force would, at this moment, be at once most unscientifically to stop an immense moral engine, which, if left to its work, is quite powerful enough, without bloodshed, to gain for humanity, at no expense at all, its object. The individual who is, I conceive, to overthrow the Emperor of Russia — who is to direct his own legions against himself— who is to do what Napoleon at the head of his Great Army failed to effect, is the little child, who, lighted...
57. lappuse - The ground was ploughed up by the wheels of the artillery and waggons ; everything like herbage was trodden into mire ; broken carriages, arms, accoutrements, dead horses and men, were strewed over the heath. This was the third day after the battle: it was the beginning of November, and for three days a bleak wind and heavy rain had continued incessantly.
100. lappuse - Pope, is that man, the real or seeming wisest of the last age ; crowned after death ; who finds his hierarchy of gifted authors, his clergy of assiduous journalists : whose decretals, written, not on parchment, but on the living souls of men, it were an inversion of the laws of nature to disobey.
