It is thus the tortured mind is restored to the calm condition of ease, and fitted for
happiness. How dismal must the picture of life appear to the mind in that dreadful
moment, when it resolves on darkness, and to die! One can scarcely believe ...

The matters here related being all facts, are strongly pictured in my mind, and in
this sense, Forgetfulness does not apply. But facts and feelings are distinct things

To each unfeeling, unrelenting mind, I'd seud destruction and relieve mankind.
You that are husbands, fathers, brothers, all The tender names which kindred
learn to call ; Yet like an image carved in massy stone, You bear the shape, but ...

O yes, there are, but of a different kind, The dreadful horrors of a dismal mind.
Some jealous fury throws her poison'd dart And rends in pieces the distracted
heart. When Love's a tyrant, and the soul a slave, No hopes remain to thought,
but in ...

Sivu 208 - And ne'er shall the sons of Columbia be slaves, While the earth bears a plant, or the sea rolls its waves.
Sivu 75 - Your presence may remind Congress of your past services to this country; and if it is in my power to impress them, command my best exertions with freedom, as they will be rendered cheerfully by one, who entertains a lively sense of the importance of your works, and who, with much pleasure, subscribes himself, Your sincere friend, G. WASHINGTON...
Sivu 235 - The people of the State of New York, by the Grace of God, Free and Independent, to all to whom these presents shall come or may concern, Send Greeting: Know ye, that...
Sivu 156 - The true Deist has but one Deity; and his religion consists in contemplating the power, wisdom, and benignity of the Deity in his works, and in endeavoring to imitate him in everything moral, scientifical, and mechanical.
Sivu 147 - It will not then be said, here stood a temple of vast antiquity, — here rose a Babel of invisible height, or there a palace of sumptuous extravagance ; but here, ah painful thought ! the noblest work of human wisdom, the grandest scene of human glory, the fair cause of freedom rose and fell...
Sivu 223 - Like a native it flourished and bore; The fame of its fruit drew the nations around, To seek out this peaceable shore. Unmindful of names or distinctions they came, For freemen like brothers agree; With one spirit endued, they one friendship pursued, And their temple was Liberty Tree. Beneath this fair tree, like the patriarchs of old, Their bread in contentment they ate, Unvexed with the troubles of silver or gold, The cares of the grand and the great.
Sivu 148 - The room in which I lodged was on the ground floor, and one of a long range of rooms under a gallery, and the door of it opened outward and flat against the wall, so that when it was open the inside of the door appeared outward, and the contrary when it was shut. I had three comrades, fellow-prisoners with me, Joseph Vanhuile of Bruges, since president of the municipality of that town, Michael Robins, and Bastini of Louvain.
Sivu 222 - IN a chariot of light from the regions of day, The Goddess of Liberty came; Ten thousand celestials directed the way, And hither conducted the dame. A fair budding branch from the gardens above, Where millions with millions agree, She brought in her hand as a pledge of her love, And the plant she named Liberty Tree.
Sivu 13 - Paine's publications appear to have had in procuring the repeal of some oppressive taxes in the present session of Parliament; and they hope that this adoption of a small part of Mr Paine's ideas will be followed by the most strenuous exertions to accomplish a...
Sivu 61 - I did, to be silent: and if in the course of more than seven years, I have rendered her any service, I have likewise added something to the reputation of literature, by freely and disinterestedly employing it in the great cause of mankind and showing that there may be genius without prostitution.
