Seite 66 - Does the road wind up-hill all the way? Yes, to the very end. Will the day's journey take the whole long day? From morn to night, my friend. But is there for the night a resting-place? A roof for when the slow dark hours begin. May not the darkness hide it from my face? You cannot miss that inn. Shall I meet other wayfarers at night? Those who have gone before.

Seite 167 - ... were discussions (dull enough) on the age of Methuselah, a mighty speculation ! there were outlines, rude guesses at the shape of Noah's Ark and of the riches of Solomon's Temple; questions as to the date of the creation, predictions of the end of all things; the great lapses of time, the strange mutations of the...

Seite 306 - I subjoin the Roman form, as used in England and elsewhere : " Dominus noster Jesus Christus te absolvat ; et ego auctoritate ipsius te absolve, ab omni vinculo excommunicationis et interdicti, in quantum possum et tu indiges. Deinde ego te absolve a peccatis tuis, in nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti. Amen.
