Page 203 - The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?
Page 459 - This is the bud of being, the dim dawn, The twilight of our day, the vestibule : Life's theatre as yet is shut, and Death, Strong Death, alone .can heave the massy bar, This gross impediment of clay remove, And make us embryos of existence free.
