Seite 124 - When you rise in the morning, form a resolution to make the day a happy one to a fellow-creature. It is easily done; — a left-off garment to the man who needs it, a kind word to the sorrowful, an encouraging expression to the striving; trifles in themselves light as air will do it, at least for the twenty-four hours; and, if you are young, depend upon it it will tell when you are old ; and, if you are old, rest assured it will send you gently and happily down the stream of human time to eternity.
Seite 226 - Through a veil of mystical imageries. But could I see As in truth they be, The glories of Heaven that encompass me, I should lightly hold The tissued fold Of that marvellous curtain of blue and gold. Soon the whole Like a parched scroll Shall before my amazed sight uproll, And without a screen At one burst be seen The Presence wherein I have ever been.
