الصفحة 133 - Jog on, jog on, the foot-path way, And merrily hent the stile-a; A merry heart goes all the day, Your sad tires in a mile-a.
الصفحة 158 - Craigenputtock, an outlook from the back windows into more leafy regions, with here and there a red highpeaked old roof looking through, and see nothing of London except by day the summits of St. Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey, and by night the gleam of the great Babylon, affronting the peaceful skies.
الصفحة 275 - I am busy with vol. ii., toiling away with the heart of a free Roman. Indeed, I know not how it was, I had not felt so clear and independent, sure of myself and of my task, for many long years. There never in my life had come upon me any other accident of much moment; but this I could not but feel to be a sore one. The thing was lost, and perhaps worse ; for I had not only forgotten all the structure of it, but the spirit it was written in was past. Only the general impression seemed to remain...

الصفحة 59 - I hear the disease is fast abating. It is likely enough to come and go among us ; to take up its dwelling with us among our other maladies.

الصفحة 171 - Fraser is the only craftsman I have yet seen : he talks still of loss by his Magazine ; and I think will not willingly employ me much, were I never so ready, at the old rate of writing. He seems a well-intentioned creature ; I can really pity him in the place he occupies. I went yesterday with a project of a series of Articles on French...
الصفحة 58 - Thomson : who knows what further was its appointed work ? You I strive to figure in the meanwhile as looking at it, in the universal terror, with some calmness, as knowing and practically believing that your days and the days of those dear to you were now, as before and always, in the hand of God only, from whom it is vain to fly, towards whom lies the only refuge of man. Death's thousand doors have ever stood open ; this, indeed, is a wide one, yet it leads no farther than they all lead.
الصفحة 276 - I had to comfort and speak peace to remained injudiciously enough till almost midnight, and my poor Dame and I had to sit talking of indifferent matters; and could not till then get our lament freely uttered. She was very good to me; and the thing did not beat us. I felt in general that I was as a little Schoolboy...
الصفحة 80 - over their little crowns; and then again of Irish Whitefeet, driven out of their potato patches and mud hovels, and obliged to take the hillside as broken men — one pauses with a kind of amazed horror, to ask if this be Earth, the place of Hope, or Tophet, where hope never comes.
الصفحة 196 - I can already picture to myself the Radical Periodical, and even prophesy its destiny : with myself it had not been so ; the only thing certain would have been difficulty, pain and contradiction ; which I should probably have undertaken ; which I am far from breaking my heart that I have missed.
