الصفحة 102 - ... Over hill, over dale, Thorough bush, thorough brier, Over park, over pale, Thorough flood, thorough fire, I do wander every where, Swifter than the moon's sphere; And I serve the fairy queen, To dew her orbs upon the green.

الصفحة 101 - Where the great Sun begins his state, Robed in flames and amber light, The clouds in thousand liveries dight ; While the ploughman, near at hand, Whistles o'er the furrow'd land, And the milkmaid singeth blithe, And the mower whets his scythe, And every shepherd tells his tale Under the hawthorn in the dale.
الصفحة 163 - He acts in each case separately, and simply because he cannot help it ; being so framed that when that particular running thing called a mouse appears in his field of vision he must pursue ; that when that particular barking and obstreperous thing called a dog appears there he must retire, if at a distance, and scratch if close by ; that he must withdraw his feet from water and his face from flame, etc.
الصفحة 144 - FLOWER in the crannied wall, I pluck you out of the crannies, I hold you here, root and all, in my hand, Little flower — but if\ could understand What you are, root and all, and all in all, I should know what God and man is.
