Pàgina 279 - Her step, as in obedience to an impulse or a signal, would not waken an insect ; if she speaks, her accents are a soft echo of natural harmony, most delicious to the sick man's ear, conveying all that sound can convey of pity, comfort, and devotion ; and thus, night after night, she tends him like a creature sent from a higher world : when all earthly watchfulness has failed, her eye never winked, her mind never palled, her nature, that at other times is weakness, now gaining a superhuman strength...
Pàgina 207 - The mother died when the child was born And left me her baby to keep ; I rocked its cradle the night and morn, Or, silent, hung o'er it to weep.
Pàgina 61 - ... some likeness to the ancient and curious structure, so called. Indeed, throughout the whole chamber, the awful frolic of nature bears comparison with art: — ranges of fluted columns, that seem the production of the chisel, only much dilapidated by time, rise almost at correct distances to the arching roof; by the way, having necessarily been formed by petrifaction, drop upon drop, it is astounding to think of the incalculable number of years consumed in the process.
Pàgina 207 - And walked through the mountains, lonely; I was far from my darling, ah ! many long miles, And I thought of her, and her only ; She darkened my path like a troubled dream, In that solitude far and drear ; I spoke to my child ! but she did not seem To hearken with human ear She only looked with a dead, dead eye, And a wan, wan cheek of sorrow — I knew her " fetch !" she was called to die, And she died upon the morrow. Our young readers are required to observe that these " Tales of the O'Hara Family"...
Pàgina 182 - The judge, in passing sentence in the usual form, said, "You have been found guilty by a jury of your country of a crime so black and hideous that I believe in all the records of crime it would be difficult to find its parallel. With a barbarity almost incredible you plotted together to take by cruel torture the life of a poor, innocent, and outraged woman ; and although you do not stand to-day...
Pàgina 60 - ... feet perpendicular, and from thirty to forty wide ; overhung and festooned with ivy, lichen, bramble, and a variety of wild shrubs, and tenanted by the owl, the daw, and the carrion crow, that made rustling and screaming exit into the daylight as soon as disturbed by an exploring foot : and when, all at once, you...
Pàgina 211 - ... and flaunting with gay and ample windows, and this, he is informed, is the college. Turning its back, in suitable abstraction, upon the hum and bustle of the small though populous city, it faces towards the green country, an extensive lawn spreading before it, and the placid river running hard by, and is, altogether, appropriately and beautifully situated But the original edifice, that existed at the time of our story, was pushed...
Pàgina 207 - May, in her ciown of flowers, And her smile so soft and new. And the rose, I thought, never shamed her cheek, But rosy, and rosier made it; And her eye of blue did more brightly break Through the blue-bell that strove to shade it. One evening I left her asleep in her smiles, And walked through the mountains, lonely; I was far from my darling, ah ! many long miles, And I thought of her and her only.
Pàgina 210 - by a charter dated the 21st of February, 1689, upon the ruins of this school, erected and endowed a royal college, consisting of a rector, eight professors, and two scholars in the name of more, to be called the Royal College of St. Canice, Kilkenny, of the foundation of King James...
Pàgina 211 - The whole front of the building was of cut stone, with gothic windows composed of numerous small panes of glass, separately leaded, and each of diamond form ; giving the appearance of a side or back rather than of a front, on account of its grotesque gables, chimneys, and spouts, the last of which jetted into the street, to the no small annoyance in rainy weather of the neighbours and the passengers: while from the platform before the school-room entrance, the lads of the college contrived, in all...
