Página 326 - For books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a potency of life in them to be as active as that soul was whose progeny they are ; nay, they do preserve as in a vial the purest efficacy and extraction of that living intellect that bred them.
Página 326 - Dragon's teeth; and being sown up and down, may chance to spring up armed men. And yet, on the other hand, unless wariness be used, as good almost kill a man as kill a good book: Who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, God's image; but he who destroys a good book, kills reason itself, kills the image of God, as it were in the eye.

Yet there the soul shall enter which hath earned That privilege by virtue.
Página 569 - MOST men know love but as a part of life ; They hide it in some corner of the breast, Even from themselves ; and only when they rest In the brief pauses of that daily strife, Wherewith the world might else be not so rife, They draw it forth (as one draws forth a toy To soothe some ardent, kiss-exacting boy) And hold it up to sister, child, or wife. Ah me ! why may not love and life be one ? Why walk we thus alone, when by our side, Love, like a visible God, might be our guide ? How would the marts...
Página 87 - We are Lilies fair, The flower of virgin light ; Nature held us forth, and said, " Lo ! my thoughts of white." Ever since then, angels Hold us in their hands ; You may see them where they take In pictures their sweet stands.
