Página 377 - Thou art gone; And he who would assail thee in thy grave, Oh, let him pause ! For who among us all, Tried as thou wert — even from thine earliest years, When wandering, yet unspoilt, a...
Página 276 - Thought of the state of women under the ancient Greeks — convenient enough. Present state, a remnant of the barbarism of the chivalry and feudal ages — artificial and unnatural.
