one human being and another has also been cramped by it,

endless possibilities and set down in a fallow spot on the

Fly envious Time, till thou run out thy race,
Call on the lazy leaden-stepping hours,
Whose speed is but the heavy Plummets pace;
And glut thy self with what thy womb devours,

A Hidden Life
Proudly the youth, sudden with manhood crowned,
Went walking by his horses, the first time,
That morning, to the plough. No soldier gay
Feels at his side the throb of the gold hilt

You who are wanting love to vanquish hate.

An Old Man
Looking upon this tree with its quaint pretension
Of holding the earth, a leveret, in its claws,
Or marking the texture of its living bark,
A grey sea wrinkled by the winds of years,

An Evening Walk, Addressed To A Young Lady
The young Lady to whom this was addressed was my Sister. It was

my seventy-third year, I recollect the time and place where most

At burning noon: so warriors said,

The Silent Tide
A tangled orchard round the farm-house spreads,
Wherein it stands home-like, but desolate,
'Midst crowded and uneven-statured sheds,
Alike by rain and sunshine sadly stained.

The Society Upon The Stanislaus
I reside at Table Mountain, and my name is Truthful James;

And I'll tell in simple language what I know about the row
That broke up our Society upon the Stanislow.

Through Nature, since that morn when from their sleep

Communion with her visible forms, she speaks
A various language; for his gayer hours
She has a voice of gladness, and a smile

Amours De Voyage, Canto Ii
Is it illusion? or does there a spirit from perfecter ages,
Here, even yet, amid loss, change, and corruption abide?
Does there a spirit we know not, though seek, though we find, comprehend not,
Here to entice and confuse, tempt and evade us, abide?

Ch 03 On The Excellence Of Contentment Story 13
A dervish wanted something and a man told him that a certain individual possessed untold wealth who, if he were made aware of his want, would not consider it proper to fail in supplying it forthwith. The dervish answering that he had no acquaintance with him, the man proposed to show him the house and when the dervish entered he caught sight of a person with hanging lips and sitting morosely. He returned immediately and being asked what he had done replied: â??I excused him from making me a present when I saw his face.â??
Carry not thy necessity to a sour-faced fellow
Because his ill-humour will crush thy hopes.

Of individual life, I shall command
