Spark of that flame, perchance of heavenly birth, Which gleams, but warms no more its cherished earth...

Página 145 - With deeper red the full pomegranate glows, The branch here bends beneath the weighty pear, And verdant olives flourish round the year. The balmy spirit of the western gale Eternal breathes on fruits untaught to fail...
Página 156 - And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Página 282 - Ancient of days ! august Athena ! where, Where are thy men of might?, thy grand in soul? Gone — glimmering through the dream of things that were : First in the race that led to Glory's goal, They won, and pass'd away — is this the whole?
Página 187 - Ulysses near the inclosure drew, With open mouths the furious mastiffs flew : Down sat the sage, and cautious to withstand, Let fall the offensive truncheon from his hand. Sudden, the master runs ; aloud .he calls ; And from his hasty hand the leather falls ; With showers of stones he drives them far away : The scattering dogs around at distance bay.
Página 159 - The lonely mountains o'er And the resounding shore A voice of weeping heard, and loud lament; From haunted spring and dale Edged with poplar pale The parting Genius is with sighing sent; With flower-inwoven tresses torn The Nymphs in twilight shade of tangled thickets mourn.
