Seite 76 - Oh yet we trust that somehow good Will be the final goal of ill, To pangs of nature, sins of will, Defects of doubt, and taints of blood ; That nothing walks with aimless feet ; That not one life shall be destroyed, Or cast as rubbish to the void, When God hath made the pile complete...

Seite 130 - And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.

Seite 52 - ... with the sound, Preaching the one and universal word, The God-word, which is spirit, life, and light ; The written word to one race, the unwrit Revealment to the thousand peopled world. The ear which hears is preattuned in Heaven, The eye which sees prevision hath ere birth. But the just future shall to many give, Gifts which the partial present doles to few ; To all the glory of obeying God.
Seite 154 - I see in part That all, as in some piece of art, Is toil cooperant to an end.
