Society-" One polished horde, Formed of two mighty bribes-the Bores and Byron. "Is like a pork-barrel; the middle good, but the top and bottom a leetle tainted." Sam Slick. Soldier (A)-In time of peace is like a chimney in summer. Sorrow The penalty we pay for life. "A kind of rust of the soul, which every new idea contributes in its passage to scour away. It is the putrefaction of stagnant life, and is remedied by exercise and motion." Johnson. Soul-"The perceiver and revealer of truth." Emerson. "The body's guest." Sir W. Raleigh. Star-A jewel in the robe of night. -A particle of gold-dust from the pathway of the blessed. -A shining diamond on the shores of heaven. Stars "The forget-me-nots of angels." -Grains of gold on a far-off shore. Longfellow. Style-"Is the dress of thoughts." Lord Chesterfield. Sunbeam-"Like the celestial ladder seen By Jacob in his dream." Longfellow. Sunday-"O day most calm, most bright, Writ by a Friend, and with His blood; Sundays the pillars are, On which heaven's palace arched lies: They are the fruitful beds and borders In God's rich garden. The Sundays of man's life, Threaded together on Time's string, Make bracelets to adorn the wife Of the eternal glorious king." George Herbert. Sunday-"The golden clasp that binds together the volume of the week." Longfellow. Surrogate-A gate through which parties have to pass to get married. Suspicion "The virtue of a coward." Herbert. Sympathy-"The one poor word which includes all our best insight, and all our best love." George Eliot. Tears-Are the fount that purifies the soul. Teeth-"A troop of pearls which march in goodly row." Giles Fletcher. Thought-Is the soul's chariot. The hermit's solace in his cell, The fire that warms the poet's brain, The lover's heaven or his hell, The madman's sport, the wise man's pain. K |
