Seite 44 - Tis the weakness in strength, that I cry for! my flesh, that I seek In the Godhead! I seek and I find it.

Seite 105 - What act proved all its thought had been? What will but felt the fleshly screen? We ride and I see her bosom heave. There's many a crown for who can reach. Ten lines, a statesman's life in each! The flag stuck on a heap of bones, A soldier's doing! what atones? They scratch his name on the Abbey-stones.
