Стр. 158 - And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest ; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
Стр. 117 - And, because the breath of flowers is far sweeter in the air (where it comes and goes like the warbling of music) than in the hand, therefore nothing is more fit for that delight than to know what be the flowers and plants that do best perfume the air.

Стр. 83 - It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.
Стр. 49 - When each by turns was guide to each, And Fancy light from Fancy caught, And Thought leapt out to wed with Thought ; Ere Thought could wed itself with Speech...
Стр. 184 - These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.
