Now, at the end of three years' struggle, the nation's condition is not what either party, or any man, devised or expected. God alone can claim it. Whither it is tending seems plain.

Seite 25 - How sweet I roamed from field to field And tasted all the summer's pride, Till I the prince of love beheld, Who in the sunny beams did glide!
Seite 223 - Was it possible to lose the nation and yet preserve the Constitution ? By general law, life and limb must be protected ; yet often a limb must be amputated to save a life ; but a life is never wisely given to save a limb. I felt that measures, otherwise unconstitutional, might become lawful, by becoming indispensable to the preservation of the Constitution, through the preservation of the nation.
Seite 234 - A boy and a girl, if the good fates please, Making love, say, — The happier they ! Draw yourself up from the light of the moon, And let them pass, as they will too soon, With the bean-flowers...
