Стр. 225 - I am obnoxious to each carping tongue Who says my hand a needle better fits, A poet's pen all scorn I should thus wrong, For such despite they cast on female wits: If what I do prove well, it won't advance, They'll say it's stol'n, or else it was by chance.
Стр. 42 - The Allied Governments have given careful consideration to the correspondence which has passed between the President of the United States and the German Government. Subject to the qualifications which follow they declare their willingness to make peace with the Government of Germany on the terms of peace laid down in the President's address to Congress of January, 1918, and the principles of settlement enunciated in his subsequent addresses.
Стр. 271 - INVITATION TO THE ASSEMBLY. Come, one and all, to Hoyden Hall, For there's the assembly this night ; None but prude fools, Mind manners and rules ; We Hoydens do decency slight. Come, Trollops and Slatterns, Cockt hats and white aprons, This best our modesty suits ; For why should not we, In dress be as free, As Hogs-Norton 'squires in boots.
Стр. 225 - I once that lov'd the shady woods so well, Now thought the rivers did the trees excel, And if the sun would ever shine, there would I dwell.
Стр. 82 - Soldiers are we, whose lives are pledged to Ireland. Some have come from a land beyond the wave, Sworn to be free, no more our ancient sireland Shall shelter the despot or the slave...
Стр. 225 - It is the Work of a Woman, honoured, and esteemed where she lives, for her gracious demeanour, her eminent parts, her pious conversation, her courteous disposition, her exact diligence in her place, and discreet managing of her Family occasions, and more than so, these Poems are the fruit but of some few houres, curtailed from her sleep and other refreshments.
Стр. 303 - M'Connachie who has brought me to this pass. M'Connachie, I should explain, as I have undertaken to open the innermost doors, is the name I give to the unruly half of myself: the writing half. We are complement and supplement. I am the half that is dour and practical and canny, he is the fanciful half; my desire is to be the family solicitor, standing firm on my hearthrug among the harsh realities of the office furniture; while he prefers to fly around on one wing.
Стр. 187 - The preservation of the common interests of all Powers in China by insuring the independence and integrity of the Chinese Empire and the principle of equal opportunities for the commerce and industry of all nations in China...
Стр. 143 - Where the suggested meaning runs through the obvious one in a very profound under-current, so as never to interfere with the upper one without our own volition, so as never to show itself unless called to the surface, there only, for the proper uses of fictitious narrative, is it available at all.
Стр. 233 - Wine, the red coals, the flaring gas, Bring out a brighter tone in cheeks That learn at home before the glass The flush that eloquently speaks. The blue-grey smoke of cigarettes Curls from the lessening ends that glow ; The men are thinking of the bets, The women of the debts, they owe. Then their eyes meet, and in their eyes The accustomed smile comes up to call, A look half miserably wise, Half heedlessly ironical.
