301. lappuse - What mean ye, that ye use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying : — " The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge "? As I live, saith the Lord God, ye shall not have occasion any more to use this proverb in Israel. Behold, all souls are Mine : as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is Mine : th : soul that sinneth, it shall die.
294. lappuse - I have lived some thirty years on this planet, and I have yet to hear the first syllable of valuable or even earnest advice from my seniors.
108. lappuse - Come one, come all ! this rock shall fly From its firm base as soon as I.
311. lappuse - I have a commonplace book for facts, and another for poetry, but I find it difficult always to preserve the vague distinction which I had in my mind, for the most interesting and beautiful facts are so much the more poetry, and that is their success. They are translated from earth to heaven.

209. lappuse - I observed two large ants, the one red, the other much larger, nearly half an inch long, and black, fiercely contending with one another. Having once got hold, they never let go, but struggled and wrestled and rolled on the chips incessantly. Looking farther, I was surprised to find that the chips were covered with such combatants, that it was not a duellum, but a bellum...
351. lappuse - I pray that the life of this spring and summer may ever lie fair in my memory. May I dare as I have never done. May I persevere as I have never done. May I purify myself anew as with fire and water, soul and body. May my melody not be wanting to the season. May I gird myself to be a hunter of the beautiful, that naught escape me. May I attain to a youth never attained. I am eager to report the glory of the universe. May I be worthy to do it, to have got through with regarding human values so as not...
331. lappuse - I have no doubt that it was a principle they fought for, as much as our ancestors, and not to avoid a three-penny tax on their tea; and the results of this battle will be as important and memorable to those whom it concerns as those of the battle of Bunker Hill, at least.
311. lappuse - It is impossible for the same person to see things from the poet's point of view and that of the man of science.
398. lappuse - I ask to be melted. You can only ask of the metals that they be tender to the fire that melts them. To nought else can they be tender.
