Seite 92 - Oh ! ever thus, from childhood's hour, I've seen my fondest hopes decay ; I never loved a tree or flower, But 'twas the first to fade away. I never nursed a dear gazelle. To glad me with its soft black eye, But when it came to know me well, And love me, it was sure to die ! Now too — the joy most like divine Of all I ever dreamt or knew.
Seite 4 - The very man. Corks. (Reads.) " He ventures on a state benevolence as a timid spinster ventures on sea-bathing. He stands shivering on the brink of good intentions ; dabbles, splashes a little ; and, making noise enough to bring all the world about him, never has the heart to plunge right in.
Seite 10 - Water lilies and aquatic plants gemming the translucent crystal, shells of rainbow brightness, a constant supply of gold and silver fish, with the right of angling secured to shareholders. The extent of the river being necessarily limited, will render lying there so select, so very respectable. DOUGLAS JERROLD. DREAMS. FROM " ROMEO AND JULIET." ERCUTIO.—O then, I see, queen Mab hath been with you. She is the fairies...
Seite 10 - Smoke. Pleasure and education. At every new country we shall drop anchor for at least a week, that the children may go to school and learn the language. The trip must answer : 'twill occupy only three years, and we've forgotten nothing to make it delightful — nothing, from hot rolls to cork jackets.
Seite 215 - As a civilian it is mine to lie for her. Courage isn't confined to fighting. No, no; whenever a Frenchman throws me down a lie, for the honour of England I always trump it The convincing logic of this used to set the house in a roar. But it was his manner which gave the joke its bouquet; and when he vindicated the superiority of the air of England over the air of France, on the ground that "it goes twice as far — it's twice as thick...
Seite 90 - You look like a rose in June — you do. And so, if you can give me a help with Mr. Goldthumb ! — Ha ! I knowed you would. You're a real gentleman, you are. You don't rub an old acquaintance off your mind like an old memorandum off a piece of ass's skin. Truff. That will do. I— I— (Aside : There is a kind of compliment that comes upon a man like a cannon-ball : it leaves him no head to acknowledge it.) I will do for your character all that is possible — (Aside : for the sake of my own.) One...
Seite 9 - ... humbug has received such high patronage, that now it's quite classic. Chat. But why not embark his lordship in the lucifer question ? Smoke. I can't; I have his lordship in three companies already. Three. First, there's a company — half a million capital — for extracting civet from assafretida.
Seite 7 - Skindeep. Benevolence and respectability ! Of course, I'm with you. Well, the precise object ? Sir P. It is to remove a stain — a very great stain from the city ; to give an air of maiden beauty to a most venerable institution ; to exercise a renovating taste at a most inconsiderable outlay ; to call up, as it were, the snowy beauty of Greece in the coal-smoke atmosphere of London ; in a word, my lord — but as yet 'tis a profound secret — it is to paint St. Paul's ! To give it a virgin outside...
Seite 9 - ... the company — a monopoly which will suffer no man, woman, or child to strike a light without our permission. Chatham. Truly, sir, in such a cause, to such an auditory — I fear my eloquence. Smoke. Sir, if you would speak well anywhere, there's nothing like first grinding your eloquence on a mixed meeting.
Seite 15 - WITHOUT economy none can be rich, and with it few can be poor. There is no grief like the grief which does not speak. In this world, purses are the arteries of life ; as they are full or empty, we are men or carcases. Time, with all its celerity, moves slowly on to him whose whole employment is to watch its flight. It is a heaven upon earth to have a man's mind move in charity, rest in Providence, and turn upon the poles of truth. The long morning of life is spent in making the weapons and the armour,...
