Seite 251 - Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!
Seite 38 - Far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife. Their sober wishes never learn'd to stray ; Along the cool sequester'd vale of life They kept the noiseless tenor of their way.
Seite 247 - Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

Seite 38 - Who wickedly is wise, or madly brave, Is but the more a fool, the more a knave. Who noble ends by noble means obtains, Or failing, smiles in exile or in chains, Like good Aurelius let him reign, or bleed Like Socrates, that man is great indeed. What's fame? a fancied life in others' breath, A thing beyond us, ev'n before our death.

Seite 251 - And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said: Cry aloud, for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is on a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth and must be awaked.
Seite 249 - Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob; 8.
Seite 247 - Thou preparedst room before it, And didst cause it to take deep root, And it filled the land. The hills were covered with the shadow of it, And the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars. She sent out her boughs unto the sea, And her branches unto the river.
