Seite 376 - tis a land of plenty. I sit down alone to venison, fish and wild fowl, or a couple of fowls or ducks, with curds, and strawberries, and cream, and all the simple plenty which a rich valley (under Hamilton Hills) can produce — with a clean cloth on my table — and a bottle of wine on my right hand to drink your health.

" Ay, sir," broke out the other, in a rather imperfect metaphor, "there you drink the cup of salvation to the bottom ; here you have merely the froth from the surface.
Seite 384 - Spring : — and then my Sentimental Journey will, I dare say, convince you that my feelings are from the heart ; and that that heart is not of the worst of moulds — praised be God for my sensibility ! Though it has often made me wretched, yet I would not exchange it for all the pleasures the grossest sensualist ever felt.
Seite 265 - What a large volume of adventures may be grasped within this little span of life, by him who interests his heart in every thing, and who, having eyes to see what time and chance are perpetually holding out to him as he journeyeth on his way, misses nothing he can fairly lay his hands on...
