Pàgina 146 - s an arrant thief, And her pale fire she snatches from the sun ; The sea 'sa thief, whose liquid surge resolves The moon into salt tears ; the earth 'sa thief, That feeds and breeds by a composture stolen From general excrement ; each thing's a thief; The laws, your curb and whip, in their rough power Have uncheck'd theft.
Pàgina 32 - Revenge, and murder. — And, when Reason's voice, Loud as the voice of Nature, shall have waked The nations ; and mankind perceive that vice Is discord, war, and misery — that virtue Is peace, and happiness, and harmony ; When man's maturer nature shall disdain The playthings of its childhood ; kingly glare Will lose its...
Pàgina 140 - With a diadem of snow. Around his waist are forests braced, The Avalanche in his hand ; But ere it fall, that thundering ball Must pause for my command. The Glacier's cold and restless mass Moves onward day by day ; But I am he who bids it pass, Or with its ice delay.
