Sivu 22 - All school-days' friendship, childhood innocence? We, Hermia, like two artificial gods, Have with our needles created both one flower, Both on one sampler, sitting on one cushion, Both warbling of one song, both in one key; As if our hands, our sides, voices, and minds, Had been incorporate.

Sivu 284 - Our vice, ourselves, our habits to disdain ; " To go where never yet in peace we went, " To feel our hearts can bleed, yet not relent ; " To sigh, yet not recede ; to grieve, yet not repent !
Sivu 117 - E'en while with us thy footstep trod, His seal was on thy brow. " Dust, to its narrow house beneath ! Soul, to its place on high ! They who have seen thy look in death No more may fear to die.
Sivu 1 - To me their merits and their faults impart ; Give me to say, "frail being ! such thou art," And closely let me view the naked human heart.
