Стр. 374 - Distinguished link in being's endless chain! Midway from nothing to the Deity! A beam ethereal, sullied and absorpt! Though sullied and dishonoured, still divine! Dim miniature of greatness absolute! An heir of glory ! a frail child of dust: Helpless immortal! insect infinite! A worm! a god! I tremble at myself, And in myself am lost.
Стр. 50 - The whispering zephyr, and the purling rill ! Who finds not Providence all good and wise, Alike in what it gives, and what denies ? VII.
