67 psl. - Thy Father has written for thee." " Come, wander with me," she said, " Into regions yet untrod ; And read what is still unread In the manuscripts of God." And he wandered away and away With Nature, the dear old nurse, Who sang to him night and day The rhymes of the universe.

227 psl. - I am scornfully amused at your appeal to me, of all people in the world the precisely least likely to give you a farthing ! My first word to all men and boys who care to hear me is ' Don't get into debt. Starve and go to heaven — but don't borrow. Try first begging, — I don't mind, if it's really needful, stealing !

Je la ferais vivre en sympathie avec les beaux paysages, avec les scènes idéales de la poésie et de l'histoire, avec la musique noblement émue. Je lui rendrais aimable tout ce que je voudrais lui faire aimer.
98 psl. - German success was the victory of ' one of the truest monarchies and schools of honour and obedience yet organised under heaven.' He hoped that Germany, now that she had shown her power, would withdraw, and demand no indemnity. But that was too much to ask.
